Core Values
We treat every individual with the respect and dignity they deserve. Our core values are:
Compassion
We understand how much a sense of shame, guilt, and low self-worth affects people in recovery. We realize that genuine compassion helps recovering individuals replace those damaging feelings and facilitate self-forgiveness.
Respect
Respect is an acknowledgement of one’s importance and value. Condemnation and premature judgment are damaging to everyone. Developing respect for others is an acknowledgement of their worth as human beings.
Supporting the Right Choices
Drugs and alcohol control one’s behaviors to the point that making right choice is impossible. Choosing sobriety is an important commitment. The commitment that comes with new abilities to develop and exercise new skills, new habits and experience new life free of addiction.
