The holiday’s do not have to be an excuse to delay getting started on the path to recovery. You don’t have to do it alone.

The continuum of care during the holidays is vital. Don’t use this time of year as a distraction from ongoing treatment and care.

  • Investigate additional therapies and treatments to address historical issues involving holiday dynamics and past traumas.
  • EMDR Therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and PTSD symptoms.
  • Couples and Family Counseling during the holidays can improve relations at home during stressful circumstances.
  • Ongoing Intensive Outpatient (both online and on-location) greatly increases the chances of long term sobriety and freedom from the return to active substance use.
