recovery group

Healing community meeting

A recovery group is a gathering of people working to overcome addiction, trauma, or other personal struggles, typically meeting regularly to share experiences and support one another.

The term covers formal programs like Alcoholics Anonymous and informal peer support circles alike: She found her recovery group more helpful than individual therapy.

Members often follow structured approaches—twelve steps, check-ins, accountability partners—while building community around shared challenges.
