The great part about your road to recovery with Changing Tides is that insurance coverage is accepted for therapy. On-site services include medical services related to your addiction, individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, and educational therapies.

addiction; You or your loved one will be part of a community of recovering individuals with the peer support that is vital in obtaining a sustained recovery.

A sober living environment is important and, in most cases, crucial for those in early recovery.  It is also important for a sober living environment to be comfortable where individuals have the space to relax while they grow in their sobriety.  Sober Living environments aid those in early recovery by providing a supportive group of people with a shared goal of recovery while creating trust amongst members, close connections and promotes the ability to become open and honest in a supportive environment.
