GROUPS TO HELP YOU MODERATE
A listing of organizations that provide information and guidance, is provided below. These methods are a bit controversial in some realms of the sobriety world, but have proven beneficial for some. This is a personal choice and one that must be weighed with the risks of the person's addiction and chances of survival. We truly believe that counseling and perhaps therapies such as CBT and DBT still should be part of the recovery process. No endorsements or recommendations are intended. We may give our personal opinion if we have real world experience but this listing is for informational purposes only. It is up to you to determine appropriate professional care for yourself or your loved one.
