Grief can often contribute to substance use, while addiction can intensify feelings of loss and isolation. Our program blends evidence-based therapies with holistic treatments to help clients process their grief while simultaneously working through their addiction. Through individual and group therapy, clients are guided to explore their emotions, heal from past trauma, and build healthier coping strategies. We also offer specialized grief counseling to support those who have experienced loss, helping them to find acceptance and begin their journey toward recovery. By treating both grief and addiction together, we empower our clients to heal fully—emotionally, mentally, and physically.

Our Approach to Grief and Addiction Treatment

At Tranquility Woods, we recognize the profound connection between grief and addiction, and our treatment approach is designed to address both simultaneously. Grief from the loss of a loved one, relationships, or significant life changes can fuel substance use as a means of coping with overwhelming emotions. In turn, addiction often complicates the grieving process, intensifying feelings of sadness, anger, or hopelessness.
