Substance abuse or addiction is often a person’s method of “feeling normal,” particularly if they suffer from chronic Depression, Bipolar Disorder, or Post Traumatic Stress. For these persons, learning to manage stress, to relax, to think about what is going on, and to learn how to reflect before taking action is essential to replacing substances as the coping mechanism of choice.  In doing so, we help individuals become better parents and break the generation cycle of trauma, violence and substance abuse.

Group and individual session take place at both locations at a variety of times. Participants must be referred though STARS.
