Groups Recover Together was founded in 2014 to make treatment for opioid addiction respectful, accessible and affordable. We empower our members to regain control of their lives through a combination of community support, outpatient weekly group therapy and medication to manage withdrawal using buprenorphine and naltrexone.

At Groups, the Counselor leads the treatment team, alongside physicians and administrators. The Counselor is the expert on addiction and recovery, and coordinates decisions about the client’s treatment. Meanwhile, physicians are asked to focus on what they do best: medication management. By putting seasoned, compassionate Counselors in the lead, and minimizing bureaucracy at every turn, we’re able to deliver care that is both more affordable and higher quality than the status quo.
