The NOVA team also specializes in treatment for clients who suffer from chronic relapse. We often find that clients who continue to struggle with their recovery have needs related to past experiences or behaviors that have never been addressed or may not have been fully resolved. We will help you examine the barriers that are holding you back from a full recovery, and guide and support you as you begin to work through them. We will look at your previous recovery experiences, where you have struggled in them, and what we can assist you in changing to create a new experience.
