There are recovery focused groups, such as 12 Steps and trauma informed care. Other groups focus on physical wellness such as leisure skills, fitness and recreation.
What I like about them is the environment they’ve created. You’ll regain your sense of self-worth. You’ll come to understand that you can decide how you want to live.
