Getting Started

Recovery Dharma is a peer-led movement and community that is unified by our trust in the potential of each of us to recover and find freedom from the suffering of addiction. We believe that the traditional Buddhist teachings, often referred to as the Dharma, offer a powerful approach to healing from addiction and living a life of true freedom.

We believe that recovery means empowerment, and we support each other as partners walking the path together. We believe that recovery is rooted in finding our own inner wisdom and individual journeys.

Recovery Dharma is founded on, and inspired by, Buddhism that originated in India and later on flourished in other regions of Asia (e.g., South Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia, Central Asia). We deeply appreciate the Buddhist heritage that was protected and freely offered by the ancestors of these cultures.

Saturday 10:30 am

SMART Recovery is an evidenced-informed recovery method grounded in Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), that supports people with substance dependencies or problem behaviors to:

Build and maintain motivation

Cope with urges and cravings

Manage thoughts, feelings and behaviors

Live a balanced life

Monday 6:30

NA is a nonprofit fellowship or society of men and women for whom drugs had become a major problem. We are  recovering addicts who meet regularly to help each other to stay clean.

There are no dues or fees. The only requirement for membership is the desire to stop using. You don’t have to be clean when you get here, but after your first meeting we suggest that you keep coming back and come clean. You don’t have to wait for an overdose or jail sentence to get help from NA, nor is addiction a hopeless condition from which there is no recovery. It is possible to overcome the desire to use drugs with the help of the Twelve Step program of Narcotics Anonymous and the fellowship of recovering addicts.

If life has become unmanageable and you want to live without it being necessary to use drugs, we have found a way.

Friday, 6:30pm-8pm

In-person Open Meeting/Mixed Group

This Life Recovery group is open to all who wish to attend. We do not focus on specific addictions or problems, but rather a biblical approach to whatever your problem may be. The literature used is The Life Recovery Bible, which is “a unique tool that brings 12-step recovery back to its original source- God’s Word” (- The Life Recovery Bible) in addition to The Life Recovery Workbook.

These meetings are structured with an emphasis and discussion on the monthly step as well as a corresponding Bible lesson. Group discussions, testimonies and praise reports are encouraged. We strive to portray the hope and light that Christ gives when we choose to surrender to Him to those still lost in addiction and/or the behaviors that accompany it. We strive to leave the 99 for the 1 that is lost.

No matter where you are in life, no matter the choices you’ve made, come let us love on you and tell you about The Way out. We’d love to see you there.
