The Opening is a gentle, low-pressure group for anyone curious about changing their relationship with substances. Whether you’re sober-curious, committed, or somewhere in between, this group offers support, reflection, and a safe space to come as you are.
Who is this group for?
Adults (ages 18+) who are curious about changing their relationship with substances and would like a supportive, low-pressure space to reflect, connect, and explore what that change could look like.
Substances are defined as alcohol, cannabis, prescription medications, amphetamines, opioids, or any another substance you are looking to redefine the regular consumption of in your life.
This group is open to individuals who identify as sober-curious, committed to sobriety, or somewhere in between. Participants are encouraged to attend the full cycle of the group to support continuity, trust, and therapeutic benefit.
This group is not appropriate for individuals under the age of 18, those experiencing acute crisis, active suicidal ideation, unmanaged withdrawal symptoms, or untreated severe mental illness. Individuals who are seeking medical detoxification or intensive substance use treatment should pursue those services prior to joining the group.
