Peer or One-on-One Support
Peer support is for women at any stage of recovery from opioid use disorder.
We also help women who have experienced other substance use disorders.
The Peer Support Program connects individuals in recovery with Certified Recovery Specialists. This specialist is someone in recovery who has received specialized training to help others. They understand that there are unique challenges to entering recovery. They share inspirational and supportive experiences. They offer women and their families mentorship, education, support, and guidance.
Life Skills Groups
Spend time with women and families in our Life Skills Groups. These groups encourage personal insight and empower women to remove barriers and meet recovery goals.
Rock’n Recovery — a weekly group program for individuals in recovery.
In this program, we review topics like:
- How to budget your finances better
- Alternatives to pain management
- Case management services
- Building healthy relationships
- Parenting
- Success in the workforce
Most of these activities are virtual, although a few are in person (noted on the calendar).
Growing Together — a group for individuals in recovery and their families.
