Recovery Resources

Although much of recovery involves your own individual journey, the value of support systems cannot be underestimated. Having a strong support system makes recovery more manageable. You can lessen your risk for relapse by surrounding yourself with a healthy set of friends and family who support you and help you through this new phase in life. 

Refuge REcovery

Refuge Recovery is a mindfulness-based addiction recovery community that practices and utilizes Buddhist philosophy as the foundation of the recovery process. Those struggling with any form of addiction greatly benefit when they are able to understand the suffering that addiction has created while developing compassion for the pain they have experienced.

The Refuge Recovery nonprofit organization operates 100% independently from the professional addiction treatment center, Refuge Recovery Centers.
