Helpful Resources

The institutions, therapies, recovery models, books and other resources that I recommend come either from direct personal experience or a referral from someone whose powers of discernment I trust implicitly. Other than the hospitals, clinics and retreats, all of the recommendations are from personal experience. As is often said in the recovery world, take what works and leave the rest.
