recovery groups
Healing community meetings
Recovery groups are organized gatherings where people struggling with addiction, trauma, or other challenges meet regularly to support each other's healing.
The term covers twelve-step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, as well as secular alternatives and groups for specific issues like grief or eating disorders.
Members share experiences, offer encouragement, and hold each other accountable: She's been attending recovery groups since leaving rehab.
