Therapy Elements
Family Support
Many have found our Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention classes to be one of the most useful elements that they can use on a daily basis to deal with cravings, stress and impulses.
Our Wellness component focuses on the nutritional and physical ways of healing the body and brain from the use of chemicals. The brain is highly capable of healing itself, and even surpassing its previous condition.
Through Therapy, we incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy to help change lifelong patterns of negative self talk, destructive, discouraging self-image, and low self esteem.
We believe it is important for family, friends, and partners to get support for themselves while a loved one is recovering. At A Positive Alternative we will help family members find the resources they need.

Men’s Recovery Program
Intensive Outpatient Treatment
Often our clients have tried to stop their substance use on their own, thinking if they were really committed that would be enough, when in fact, they are missing a great deal of what it takes to be successful. If you have felt alone or isolated in your struggle, we can help you discover that joining with other like minded men on a similar journey can make all the difference.
