This isn't your typical NY recovery group. Our virtual substance use support group welcomes New Yorkers at any stage—active use, recovery, or exploring change. Through an existential approach, we heal the wounds underneath addiction without shame.


What makes our online substance use group different: NY-licensed addiction counselor Samantha facilitates deep discussions about identity, meaning, and freedom in recovery. This virtual harm reduction group serves all of New York State, welcoming everyone regardless of substance or recovery stage. No counting days, no dogma—just healing.


Join this substance use support group if:

  • You're a NY adult (18+) navigating substance use or recovery

  • Traditional NYC AA/NA meetings haven't clicked for you

  • You want online addiction support with a harm reduction approach

  • You're ready for virtual substance use groups without judgment



TLDR: Recovery without the rulebook. Wednesdays 5pm for 14 weeks. Active use welcome. We're healing the real stuff underneath. No shame, just support. Insurance accepted.
