Why Nutrition?

Proper nutrition is the foundation of good physical health. It can be especially important during recovery to help keep your blood sugars stable, reduce your cravings, improve and stabilize your mood, and replenish any nutritional deficiencies that may have resulted from substance use. Eating together also helps cultivate our strong community — an essential piece in long-term recovery!
