You will learn the difference between thoughts and emotions and how to regulate emotions.

Co-Dependency: Wednesday 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm. In this group, you will learn more about healthy relationships, and how we often excessively rely on others or they rely on us. Codependency refers to a psychological construct involving an unhealthy relationship that people might share with those closest to them. Such behavior can prevent others from becoming independent or learning from their mistakes. Learn more about boundaries and you will learn ways to develop healthier, rewarding relationships that can enhance your sense of self.

Mindfulness Relapse Prevention will help via increased awareness, regulation, and tolerance of potential precipitants of relapse, mindfulness may enhance ability to cope with relapse triggers, interrupting the previous cycle of automatic substance use behavior.
