Recovery

The Dandelion Hive is moving away from recovery housing and moving towards other supports for the community. We have worked and continue to work to help educate others in recovery housing spaces. Please contact us for info on safer recovery housing options.

Dandelions are often considered unwanted weeds, which is far from the truth. Society often views people trying to recover from drug or alcohol addiction similarly. The truth is that they are life-saving plants with tons of value. We welcome those who sincerely want a chance to walk in their truth without drugs and alcohol running their lives.

  • We recognize that there are multiple pathways to recovery. Some people choose a primary pathway of recovery, such as a 12-step program. Other people utilize a combination of pathways based on their individual needs. Many of us have utilized non 12-step programs in which we felt safe, such as SMART Recovery, Recovery Dharma, and all-recovery style open meetings. Recovery meetings are a necessary part of our recovery journeys and are mandatory. We have seen success through a combination of personalized meeting plans and other individualized resources.

    It is important to engage with all the resources available to you. Although there are some core principles to recovery, everyone’s path is unique. You are encouraged to do what works best for you. We are here to help support you and help guide you.

    It is important to note that participants have some autonomy in developing their recovery plan. We do, however, step in when someone has become unable to follow their own recovery plan. This often involves some direct guidance and additions to one’s plan for a period of time, based on our experiences with recovery.

    Here you can find a list of current known pathways or programs for recovery. Again, we understand that different things work for different people. We encourage our residents to try out different things and see what works best for them. Most residents end up doing a combination of their favorite types of meetings and recovery support.
