Support & Recovery Groups

Here at CLA, we offer faith-based recovery and support programs designed to provide encouragement and accountability for people struggling with a variety of addiction and support issues.

Celebrate Recovery

Freedom from addictive, compulsive and dysfunctional behaviors is possible. You can experience peace, joy and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and others! This nationally acclaimed program includes worship, biblical teaching and accountability through support groups*. These are not “therapy focused groups”, but rather groups where people come to learn about their own behavior. No pre-registration is necessary; just show up any Monday night and begin the process of recovery. Visit www.crcamphill.com for more information.
