About: Refuge Recovery seeks to transform the lives of individuals with Substance Use Disorders (SUDs), from one of suffering to happiness by guiding them down the path of healing. Refuge Recovery approaches SUD treatment with the core beliefs from Buddhism and the teachings of Siddhartha Guatama (Buddha). The program uses a systematic approach to guide individuals through the Eight-fold Paths and the Four Noble Truths. Clients are encouraged to engage in daily meditation, investigate the cause of suffering, and form a community for healing work required for recovery and a lifelong sense of happiness and well-being.

Mission Statement: Refuge Recovery is a mindfulness-based addiction recovery program and community that utilizes Buddhist philosophy as the foundation of the recovery process. Drawing inspiration from the core teachings of the Four Noble Truths, emphasis is placed on both knowledge and empathy as a means for overcoming addiction and its causes. Those struggling with substance abuse greatly benefit when they are able to understand the suffering that addiction has created while developing compassion for the pain they have experienced.

We are a compassionate, supportive community, devoted to building an empowering sense of belonging and purpose to everyone who seeks it.

About: Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is an international fellowship of men and women that was founded by Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith in 1935 to address alcoholism and promote recovery. AA groups are nonprofessional, self-supporting, multiracial, apolitical, and is available to anyone who wants to do something about their drinking. A couple of key features of AA are the Big Book and the 12-Steps. The Big Book, written by Bill Wilson and Sam Shoemaker, tells the story of individuals who have recovered from alcoholism. AA members are also guided by the 12-Steps, which are a set of principles, focused on using spiritual strength or belief in a Higher Power to expel the obsession to drink and enable the suffering individual to become happy and whole.
