Groups Recover Together

About Groups Recover Together

Groups Recover Together in Beckley, West Virginia, is an outpatient program for adults with opioid use disorder and part of a national network of more than 120 offices that has operated since 2014. Their model pairs medication for opioid use disorder, primarily Suboxone, with weekly group therapy and practical help rebuilding daily life. Care is offered in person at local offices or virtually through the Groups app, and their approach is intentionally non-judgmental, meeting people wherever they are in recovery.

Getting started usually involves a virtual intake with a licensed counselor or recovery consultant, followed by a visit with a physician who sets the right medication dose, often within one business day. Members then attend a one-hour weekly group led by a licensed counselor, with evening, weekend, and online options to fit work and family schedules. Weekly urine screens are part of treatment, but a positive result leads to a conversation about safety rather than punishment. Providers can also prescribe comfort medications for withdrawal, and staff help members with needs like housing, employment, insurance, food, and transportation. They accept Medicaid, Medicare, and most commercial insurance, with discounted self-pay rates for people without coverage.
