Our Recovery Program
Guided by its mission to provide a holistic, trauma-informed approach to substance use recovery by addressing the underlying trauma that contributes to addiction, Equinox’s program focuses on healing, empowerment, and trust-building, ensuring that individuals and their families have the tools to move forward.
Core Components of the Trauma Program
Understanding Trauma & Substance Use
Many individuals struggling with addiction have experienced childhood trauma, systemic oppression, or interpersonal violence.
​
This program recognizes that recovery is not just about stopping substance use, but about healing from the pain that led to it.
​Family & Community Healing
-
Rebuilding trust within families by addressing generational trauma and the effects of addiction on loved ones.
-
Providing family therapy sessions, workshops, and educational resources to help families navigate recovery.
Holistic Healing Practices
We incorporate mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and creative expression into our program as alternative healing tools.
​
We also provide nutritional counseling and wellness support to address the physical impact of trauma and addiction.
Safe & Stigma-Free
Healing Spaces
Equinox provides spaces that are judgment-free and community-centered, ensuring that individuals feel safe discussing their experiences.
​
Equinox also puts great emphasis on confidentiality and respect to rebuild trust in recovery systems.
Addressing Systemic Barriers
Many individuals in recovery face challenges like housing discrimination, employment struggles, and legal issues. Our program includes advocacy support, legal aid partnerships, and job readiness training to help individuals rebuild their lives.
