Our agency has been providing substance use disorder treatment for more than 50 years and offers a number of pathways for individuals on their journey to a healtheir and happier life.

Group Therapy
Crisis & Counseling Centers offer a variety of recovery group programs for adults in all stages of change from substance use and co-occurring disorders.
Group therapy can be a powerful therapeutic tool for treating substance use disorders, one that is as helpful as individual therapy. Groups have many rewarding benefits, such as reducing isolation and enabling members to witness the recovery of others. These qualities can help to draw people into a culture of recovery. Groups can help treat problems that commonly accompany symptoms of substance use disorders, such as depression, isolation, and shame.
Please check back, as group options may shift throughout the year to meet community needs.
