About the Program
The 12 Week Substance Use Recovery Program at Pillars of Wellness provides structured, skill-based individual therapy for individuals ages 15+ seeking to reduce or stop substance use while improving their overall mental, physical, relational, and emotional wellness.

The program addresses both substance use and any co-occurring mental health conditions in an integrated, holistic manner.
