Congratulations and thank you for choosing Groups!
You’ve joined a community of supportive people ready to help you recover the life you want to live.
At Groups, we treat everyone with respect and are proud to be part of your care team. We know that getting treatment can feel shameful or scary, but we’re here to change that.
As a Groups member, you’ll get a network of people from your area who are at different stages of recovery. With them and your care team at your side, you can rely on the support and advice of people who understand what you’re going through and are ready to hold each other accountable.
