At SafeSide Recovery, we believe in the transformative power of peer support as the foundation for long-lasting recovery. There are few more effective ways to guide individuals through addiction than with the help of someone who has lived that same experience and walked a similar path to sobriety.

 

Our certified recovery coaches and peer mentors have been where you are, and they know firsthand the challenges and triumphs of rebuilding a life in recovery.

 

They walk alongside our residents, offering guidance, empathy, and practical strategies for overcoming the hurdles that accompany sobriety.
