Taking Back Control: Choosing What Works for You

For a long time, substance use may have made your choices for you. In this group, we hand the steering wheel back to you. We believe there is no "one-size-fits-all" path to healing. Whether your goal is total abstinence or a harm-reduction approach focused on moderation and safety, this space is dedicated to helping you make informed, empowered decisions about your relationship with substances.

​

What to Expect

This is a judgment-free zone where we prioritize honesty over perfection. We focus on the practical realities of change and the psychological tools needed to sustain it. We will explore:

​



Autonomy & Agency: Shifting from "I have to" to "I choose to."


Psychedelics, Ketamine, THC, and others: A safe space to talk about how these substances are beneficial or more challenging.


The Spectrum of Change: Understanding that progress isn't always linear and defining what "success" looks like for your specific life.


Risk Assessment: Learning to evaluate the costs and benefits of your choices in real-time.


Boundary Setting: How to navigate social situations and relationships while staying true to your personal goals.

Why It Matters

When people feel forced into a specific box, they often rebel or give up when they stumble. By providing the "Freedom to Choose," we remove the shame of the "all-or-nothing" mindset. Research shows that when a client is an active architect of their own treatment plan, they are significantly more likely to stay engaged and achieve lasting stability.

"The greatest power we have is the power to choose."
