Drug addiction is a disease on par with hypertension and diabetes, and while a number of people have had treatment for the disease of addiction, many have relapsed to the disease. We recognize the need to help recovering individuals maintain their sobriety and offer: Recovery Support Services (RSS). One of the programs offered through RSS is Recovery Coaching, also known as Peer to Peer mentoring, a strength-based approach that fosters health, resiliency and wellness.
