THE FULLCIRCLE PROGRAM
Where families find hope, love and a
new path forward
Substance Abuse Support Groups for Teens and Young Adults
FullCircle is a recovery program serving young people who struggle with an array of issues that can derail their lives for many years and shake the foundation of any household. We work with teenagers and their parents and with young adults up to age 25 with the goal of helping them recover from a wide range of challenges, including substance use disorders and addictions to gambling, pornography and promiscuity. We also assist with the navigation of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression and eating disorders.
Support for Teens
Our support groups for adolescents ages 12-17 are specially designed to help them learn how to stop risky behaviors and navigate the negative influences of peers, pop culture and media while finding encouragement, guidance and love from others who have walked a similar path.
Support for Young Adults
Young adults ages 18-25 need different guidance and peer connection than teens and older adults. Our 12-step support groups connect them with peers who support their efforts to stay sober, develop positive emotional coping skills, navigate their quest for independence, and grow well in every aspect of life.
Support for Parents
You don’t have to go through this alone. Our weekly parent support groups are specifically aimed at addressing the challenges of supporting a loved one through the early phases of recovery. They help parents find the resources, guidance and encouragement they need to be part of positive solutions.
What makes FullCircle
different?
Lives are transformed through our program for teens and young adults. Led by experienced staff—many in long-term recovery themselves—we offer hope, healing, and a path to freedom for young people and parents through our unique approaches to promoting healthy relationships and fostering supportive community.
Family Involvement
Our focus on family recovery aims to help heal relationships shattered when drug abuse or other addictive behaviors enter a home. We help everyone — young people in recovery and their parents and siblings –establish healthy boundaries and patterns of communication.
No-cost & 12 Step-Based
This time-tested approach to recovery has helped millions of people worldwide and is at the core of our work to help young people be themselves in an environment that encourages them to open up, be accountable, and develop the skills needed for success in life. FullCircle is no-cost and peer-driven.
Meetings and Events
For sobriety and other positive behavioral changes to stick, they have to be better than the highs that hold us back and keep us down — and trust us: FullCircle meetings and events are better. They meet the social and emotional needs critical to helping young people find sobriety, happiness and success.
Long-Term Support
Finding genuine community and recovery takes time. We ask all of our participants to make a 90-day commitment to the FullCircle program to increase their chances of achieving positive and sustainable outcomes — and we don’t force them to leave FullCircle until they’re ready.

What Our Community Says
We are here to help
It’s natural to feel intimidated before attending a FullCircle meeting or event for the first time — especially for young people dealing with overwhelming peer pressure to continue their drug use and other destructive behaviors. The FullCircle program is designed with a four-week component for newcomers that encourages them to attend meetings facilitated by a staff member or volunteer who centers discussion on the challenges of early recovery.
