We also aim to provide evening and weekend programming, as well as social and recreational programming to foster supportive communities and allow participants to explore new activities in a healthy and welcoming environment. Our programs are open to everyone 18+ regardless of substance use history, for free or for a low cost.
Attendance at our classes and meetings is acknowledged by the Kalamazoo Drug Courts.
