Family Meetings

"Recovery always is more effective when the whole family can heal in conjunction with the member of the family experiencing addiction. We all get to look at ourselves. We all get to compassionately consider how our family has carried forward suffering for generations."  

- Gabor Mate

Recovery Dharma Dockweiler Sangha meetings are for anyone seeking support because they have someone in their life who may have substance use and process addictions. This person does not need to be in recovery or treatment for you to participate.
