We know that trusted and supportive relationships are necessary in the recovery process. The members of our Team are there to listen and to help ease the loneliness of people and families who are struggling, and to work alongside people in their recovery. We believe that a growing and honest spiritual life is an essential part of recovery from substance use disorders and addictive behaviors.
The A&R Team is composed of WellSprings members who are in recovery from their own or family members’ addictions, and\/or who have a professional background in serving people with addictions and substance use disorders. The team is not composed of experts, but of people who understand that the journey into recovery is essentially a spiritual pilgrimage towards greater wholeness in our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We seek to share our experience with others, to reduce stigma, and to raise awareness of long-term recovery within our community.
