Addictions

ADDICTIONS: Can they be overcome?
 We at Life Skills Resource Group believe they can be and that a key factor is a support group led by an Addictions’ Professional.

We have established two groups per week that can be utilized in conjunction with individual therapy and traditional 12 Step recovery programs such as AA, NA, and Al-a-Non. The first group of the week is on Mondays and is only for individuals struggling with a substance abuse issue and lasts for an hour and a half. The second group of the week meets on Thursdays and is an hour-long educational group that is open for the client and to any others who wish to attend such as family members or significant others. Below is a list of topics for the educational groups. These topics are independent of each other and can be attended in any order. Either group can be joined at any time after a brief phone interview with the group leader. The groups are led by a Certified Addictions Professional with over 20 years of experience working with individuals with addictions.

		The addiction process
		Substance abuse and mental health
		Relapse prevention
		Stages of change
		Recovery: A holistic approach
		12 Step recovery model
		Drug education
		Relationships in recovery
		Self-esteem
		Defense mechanisms

The Monday group is from 6:30-8pm, the educational group is every Thursday from 6:30-7:30. The cost of the closed group is $20 per person. The cost of the educational groups is $15 per session. A discount is available for those paying in advance.

Do any of these thoughts run through your head?

		I know there will be drugs at that party for the team tomorrow night.  I don’t really want to go, but..
		My hair never looks right.  I’m too fat.  I don’t have the right clothes. I wish I were pretty.
		I’ll just die if he stops going out with me, maybe I’ll just do what he wants!
		I can’t believe what she wrote about me on MySpace!
		Who am I!!!!!

Discover the real you in a fun and confidential space (not MySpace :).   This is YOUR PLACE to express how what is happening on the outside impacts you on the inside.
