A.A.’s primary purpose is to help alcoholics achieve sobriety. Members use the Twelve Steps as spiritual principles to maintain sobriety. Groups use the Twelve Traditions to stay unified. When practiced as a way of life, participants can expel the obsession to drink and enable the sufferer to recover from alcoholism.

Relapse Prevention
(Monday, 4-5 p.m.)

Facilitators delve into the three phases of relapse: Emotional, Mental, and Physical Relapse. Though relapse can be common, being aware of these phases and creating an effective plan can help prevent relapse. Coping skills, problematic situations, and avoidance tactics are also discussed with the mindset that relapse begins in a person’s cognitive thinking long before it occurs physically. 

History Makers
(Tuesday, 11 a.m. - 1 p.m.)

A mentoring group that encourages participants to think differently and realize they are not on earth for the sole purpose of taking up space.

Participants focus on renewing the mind and understanding how to change the world.

The goal of ärt THerəpē  is to utilize the creative process to help people explore self-expression and, in doing so, find new ways to gain personal insight and develop new coping skills.

Through exploring their art, people can look for themes and conflicts that may be affecting their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

Self-Management and Recovery Training. The SMART approach uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and non-confrontational motivational methods.

This is a program of complete abstinence from all drugs. There is only one requirement for membership, the desire to stop using. We suggest that you keep an open mind and give yourself a break. Our program is a set of principles written so simply that we can follow them in our daily lives. The most important thing about them is that they work.

Managing Emotions
(Friday 1:30-2:30 p.m.)

Over the course of 4 weeks, instructors will provide tools to help you identify, feel, and cope with your emotions, with a focus on anger. Learning and understanding the cycle of anger will help you recognize and manage triggers while understanding and accessing your initial emotional response. We will also discuss self-awareness, relationships, and emotional boundaries.
