Discovery Group:

Not everyone who walks through the door knows what they want yet — but they often know what they don’t want. They don’t want rehab. They don’t want a lifelong commitment to abstinence. And they don’t want things to keep going the way things are going lately. Discovery Group is a 10-week, clinician-facilitated group for adults who recognize that something needs to change in their relationship with alcohol or other substances, but who aren’t ready to define what that change looks like. Clients may be working toward reducing use, practicing safer habits, or simply experiencing what life feels like without substances for a defined period. Whatever the goal, it is theirs. Licensed clinical addiction specialists guide the process with evidence-based tools and genuine respect for each person’s autonomy. Change, after all, tends to stick when people choose it for themselves.

In-person group | 10 weeks | 90 minutes weekly | Open enrollment | $65 per session

Recovery Group:

This weekly process group is appropriate for adult clients affected by substance use disorder who have a sincere desire to maintain sobriety and abstinence from all addictive substances. Our weekly process group offers a professionally facilitated space where participants explore the emotional and relational dimensions of recovery. Unlike psychoeducational groups that teach specific skills, process groups focus on what’s happening in your life right now—the challenges, relationships, feelings, and patterns that emerge as you build a life in recovery.

Facilitated by licensed clinicians, these groups provide something mutual support communities cannot: trained therapeutic intervention when difficult dynamics arise, professional insight into underlying patterns, and evidence-based guidance through emotional terrain that can otherwise derail recovery. When shame surfaces, when old defenses appear, when grief or anger need processing—a licensed facilitator can help the group navigate these moments safely and productively.

This group is designed to complement, not replace, community-based mutual support. AA, Recovery Dharma, SMART Recovery, and similar fellowships offer peer connection, sponsorship, and around-the-clock availability that no clinical setting can replicate. Our process group adds clinical depth to that foundation—helping you understand the “why” behind your patterns while you build the daily practices and fellowship connections that sustain long-term recovery.  

Participation does require that you are working with an individual therapist (at Full Life or elsewhere), and that you commit to consistent participation.

RPG 2.0 Group:

This group is an extension of the Professionals Relapse Prevention Group that allows those who have completed all assignments and warning sign identification cards to stay engaged with each other even after “graduating” from RPG. Strong bonds have been formed, and group members have an opportunity to continue supporting one another and to monitor their relapse warning sign cards in a flexible, more informal but consistent way.

RPG 2.0 is also an option for those who have completed a Gorski-CENAPS model relapse prevention progress elsewhere. For example, Pavillon offers a similar outpatient relapse prevention program, so graduates of that program may appreciate the opportunity to continue with those who have learned much of the same material.

This group meets once weekly for 60-minutes, is billable at $10/group, and requires completion of all assignments in the foundational Professionals Relapse Prevention Group.  This group is NOT eligible for insurance reimbursement from out-of-network expenses or covered by CBHA.
