Therapy and Group Information

The intensive group therapy focuses on alcohol and drug education and identifying issues that could interfere with a recovery program. The Relapse Prevention Group identifies triggers and helps participants develop coping skills to deal with triggers and develop a safety plan to prevent relapse. The MRT Group is our criminal-thinking group. MRT stands for Moral Reconation Therapy. This group is designed to elevate the addict’s moral thinking. Participants start making goals and looking outward, instead of concentrating on their own needs for pleasure. The Continuing Care Group looks at the participants’ environment and starts working on healing relationships, developing parenting skills, and having healthy relationships. The Self-Help Support groups that we require three times a week can be AA or NA meetings, bible studies, Drug Court support groups, or any approved group that meets regularly that provides support to the participant.

Additionally we offer gender groups (for both males and females), sex abuse survivors, co-dependency, anger management and spirituality groups. We also have a 12-week Family Night component.
