A Jewish Recovery Community has three tenets:
- Relapse prevention for the recovering addict - studies show that addict
recover best in their own cultural environment.
- Gateway to recovery for the using addict - the very existence of a
vibrant Jewish Recovery Community helps addicts and their family overcome
the initial fear and stigma that comes with admitting that we have an
addiction problem.
- The Spiritual component - Spiritual Recovery contribute and enhances
Spiritual Judaism, and vice versa.
Chabad Rabbis across the United States and Canada have recently started local
Jewish Recovery Communities. Led by a Recovery Rabbi, who teaches, inspires and
listens, members enjoy each others company and share their Experience, Strength
and Hope in a Jewish environment. Many communities have full fledge services
that include residential programs, a clubhouse and more, some just meet weekly,
and continue to grow as a vibrant Jewish Recovery Community.
