RedPath Program

RedPath is offered as part of the PEERS program. This is a 3-week session, that helps an individual to understand where the addiction issues or thought patterns that an individual is starting to notice may  becoming an issue in their life.

RedPath's program asks a lot of deep questions that an individual is used to avoiding and blocking out helping to see and feel where issues stem from and brings awareness to the coping mechanisms an individual may be using, such as drugs or alcohol, eating disorders, overworking, etc.

RedPath rebuilds confidence that an individual is looking for to help the process of LETTING GO of what the individual is holding on to. Patterns and thought processes are identified trhoughout the program to help understand the core of the internal battles and struggles, helping to understand your emotions and to accept the past and let it go. This program moves people forward by identifying healthy ways of coping that lead to stable housing, improved mental health, community building and employment.
