Groups Recover Together

About Groups Recover Together

Groups Recover Together, serving the North Fort Myers, Florida area, is part of a national outpatient network that has treated opioid use disorder since 2014. They combine medication, weekly group therapy, and practical life support in a judgment-free model built for people who need to start quickly and keep up with work and family. After a virtual intake with a counselor and a physician, many members receive a Suboxone prescription and a spot in a recovery group within about one business day. Care is available in person at local offices or online through the Groups app, and they accept most commercial insurance, Medicaid, and Medicare, with discounted self-pay options for people without coverage.

The core of the program is Suboxone to ease cravings and withdrawal, along with long-acting injectable medication in some states and comfort medications when withdrawal symptoms need extra relief. Members commit to roughly one hour a week in a counselor-led group, with evening, weekend, and virtual times available, and they share progress and setbacks with peers on the same path. Weekly urine screens are part of treatment, but a positive result isn’t punished; instead, the care team works with the member to reduce opioid use and stay safe. Recovery specialists also help with everyday needs such as applying for insurance, finding housing or work, arranging transportation, and making healthier lifestyle changes.
