The Retreat’s Virtual Recovery Program
Get connected. Stay Connected.
The Retreat’s Virtual Recovery Program is accessible, flexible and convenient. Individuals can access this addiction recovery program from anywhere in the world and receive the same affordable, effective educational services that are offered in our in-person Evening Program.
Whether you’re newly sober, recently experienced a relapse, or seek greater spiritual fitness, our Virtual Recovery Program provides you with the Twelve Step tools, guidance, and support to build long-term recovery.
This is a 12-week program that meets twice a week conveniently in a virtual on-line setting that can be accessed anywhere from your mobile device, laptop or home computer.
How Can I Help My Loved One?
How it Works
Our Virtual Recovery Program is professionally facilitated and focuses on the collective wisdom and mutual support of Twelve Step recovery. In a small group setting, we surround you with others from all walks of life who, like you, are motivated to keep learning, growing, and moving forward in recovery. This program is a supportive, educational alternative to clinical out-patient addiction treatment.
You Will:
- gain a deeper understanding of the illness of alcoholism and drug dependency and its impact on your life.
- gain an in-depth understanding of the “design for living” as outlined in Alcoholics Anonymous.
- discover new insight into your attitudes, thoughts, and behaviors related to addiction.
- establish a peer support network to nurture and strengthen your recovery.
