Transform through Comprehensive Care
The recovery journey at The Living Room includes a range of evidence-based methods combined with wisdom traditions to address both addiction and underlying mental health disorders. Clients receive up to 3 individual therapy sessions per week to explore their unique challenges, goals, and recovery paths.

Group therapy fosters a sense of community and develops crucial social skills under expert guidance. Trauma-informed approaches like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) provide a safe space for processing trauma and regaining control. Mindful breathing and meditation enhance present-moment awareness and promote mental and emotional well-being.
