Let’s talk mental health.

The holiday season can be joyful, but it can also feel overwhelming... especially for people living with depression, anxiety, or addiction. This time of year has a way of bringing up emotions that many people carry quietly.

If you’ve been thinking about starting therapy but aren’t sure where to begin, you’re not alone. Understanding different therapy approaches can make the process feel less confusing and a lot more approachable.

DBT is one therapy that teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and staying grounded when things feel heavy.

If this video helps you — or someone you care about — feel more informed, consider sharing it. And if you’re exploring support options, our team is here to help you understand your choices. ☎️ 866-244-1070

Why do we share our stories in recovery?

Because you never know who’s new in the room… who’s struggling in the room… or who feels completely alone in the room.

💙 We share to break stigma.
💙 We share to shatter the silence.
💙 We share to show that hope is real on the other side of addiction.

👉Now we’re inviting YOU to share your story by creating your own personalized My Recovery Story page.

The process is simple: fill out the form, share your experience, and offer a few words of encouragement for someone who needs to hear them. You can upload a photo if you’d like—totally optional.

Once we’ve verified your alumni status, we’ll send you your personalized link so you can share your story and inspire others!

Honesty in recovery isn’t just about what you put down, it’s about who you’re able to bring back into your life.

Addiction can create distance without warning, pulling us away from the people we love long before we realize it.
The turning point often comes when we finally see the relationships we pushed away, the trust we strained, or the connections we lost.

But honesty opens the door for all of that to return.
When you choose truth — with yourself and with others — healing becomes possible.

Recovery gives you a chance to rebuild what matters most. ❤️

And when you’re ready to begin, we’re here to help you take that first step. ☎️ 866-244-1070

"Addiction is a family disease."

We hear it all the time, but what does that actually look like in recovery?

In this video, Chris Cummins (COO at Laguna Treatment Center) breaks it down. The truth is, addiction shakes up the whole household dynamic. So when families step into the treatment process, they aren't just "helping" their loved one; they’re starting to heal themselves, too.

👉 Plus, the research backs it up. Family involvement is proven to boost the chances of long-term sobriety and creates better relationships for everyone involved. It turns a source of stress into a source of strength. 💪

➡️ Let’s chat: Recovery is personal. Did you involve your bio family in your healing, or did you lean on a "chosen family" for support? Tell us in the comments. 💬

Addiction doesn’t have an age limit.

Thousands of older adults live with untreated substance use, often hidden, often misunderstood.💔

But recovery can happen at any age. 💙

Medicare can help cover treatment, so older adults can heal with dignity and support!

Let’s start talking about it. 💬 If you know someone who might need to hear this, share this post.
Together, we can break the silence around addiction in older adults.

💛 Your Words Matter 💛

When someone you care about is struggling with addiction, it’s natural to worry about saying the wrong thing. But the truth is, your words can make all the difference — they can open the door to help or close it.

Compassion and understanding go a long way. A supportive conversation can inspire hope and encourage someone to seek the help they deserve.

If you or someone you love has been through this, what words made a difference for you?
💬 Share in the comments to help others find the courage to speak with care.
