At Sunrise Recovery Ranch, we applaud anyone who takes the brave step of entering residential treatment. And while this form of care is an important part of the recovery journey, it is far from all that is needed to maintain long-term sobriety. During your time at our Riverside, California center, we will work with you to ensure that you have a solid aftercare plan in place before you leave our care.
As part of the discharge planning process, we will make recommendations as to the types of continued supports that may be most beneficial to you, based on your unique challenges, strengths, and goals for recovery.
One of the most powerful means of staying true to your commitment to sobriety is attending support groups in your community. By connecting with others who have shared similar experiences, you’ll feel less alone and you will benefit from the collective strength of the group. Fortunately, California is home to a wide variety of support groups for both addiction and/or mental health concerns, some of which are described below.
Co-Dependents Anonymous
Addiction and mental illness can impact your ability to uphold healthy boundaries with the people you care about. If someone close to you has struggled these issues, you may benefit from this group’s ability to help you learn to form health, loving relationships.
