Clients and Staff will plant a sapling representing to roots and growth of early recovery. Clients will read original poems, sing songs, and express their thoughts about their recovery. Client will then decorate lucky stones to place around the tree. As
clients complete treatment they will use their stone in their "goodbye" group. New admissions will decorate their rock during their Welcome Group and place them around the tree throughout the year. The tree will be a living symbol of how they need to build
their roots in early recovery, nurture their recovery everyday, and watch themselves grow through their recovery journey.Cl
