Social & Sober Programs Available
Having fun is still part of life, and re-learning how to have fun and interact with other people without alcohol or drugs is part of recovery. The nature of substance misuse tricks people into thinking that they can’t have “fun” without alcohol or drugs, and for some people in recovery social gatherings can be a source of anxiety or stress because of their prior associations.
Having models for positive and healthy social interactions is important because re-learning appropriate & sober social interactions helps reduce the likelihood of participants isolating after leaving ARAD’s facility which can lead to depression and relapse.
We arrange for a variety of supervised social activities to be available during and after a participant’s stay at ARAD.
Examples of the healthy social opportunities participants may be involved in include group outings to local attractions such as:
Sober recovery events in the community
Dove Creek Equine Rescue
Theater and musical events
Botanical Gardens
Discovery Center
Palo Duro Canyon
Examples of the healthy online social opportunities participants and their loved ones may be involved with include:
