Specialty Groups for Recovery

07/21/2012
Rehab Treatment Approaches, Holistic Treatment, Mental Health Treatment

Beachway Therapy Center offers specialty groups on grief, loss, and trauma to further enhance the healing process in recovery. We offer these groups a safe, intimate, and confidential place for our patients to work through sensitive issues that may impact addiction. The patient’s primary therapist may recommend these groups to provide supplemental therapy and get a deeper understanding of underlying issues that may have resulted in or added to their addiction issues.
