This group also promotes ways to recover from or manage such problems through positive medical and nutritional practices. • Goals and Gratitude: Designed to encourage long and short term goal planning and achievement by addressing client goals and receiving feedback from peers. • Meditation: The first group of the day in which clients read and discuss daily meditations among themselves. • Family Recovery Program: Educates clients and their families on the nature of substance abuse and recovery and how it affects the family system.
