Support Groups

The support groups in Târgu Mureș have concluded another rich and productive year. The group for recovering addicts meets on Thursday afternoons at 6:00 PM, while the relatives’ group meets on Wednesdays starting at 4:00 PM.

According to the members themselves, they have many pleasant and many difficult moments behind them. This is the place where they can relax, laugh, and forget for a while the stress waiting for them at home. They can exchange experiences and receive ideas and guidance, but the group session is often also a place for confrontation:What did I do wrong, where did I make a mistake, what is my part in maintaining the addiction, and what can I change?

Both groups have permanent members for whom attending the group has become a way of life, as they have recognized the need for a place where they can regularly recharge and focus on themselves and their relationships.

At the same time, newcomers join regularly — newly released addicts fresh out of rehab, and relatives whose family members are either currently in therapy or have not yet reached the point of facing their illness. Older and newer members learn from one another, supporting, cheering, and encouraging each other in recovery and maintaining sobriety.

We are grateful to the Social Assistance Directorate of Târgu Mureș for being our faithful supporter in providing this help.
