Recovery and Life Skills Groups at Easy Does It in Leesport
Easy Does It, Inc. runs a set of daily recovery and life skills groups at its program in Leesport, covering morning meditation, Recovery 101 and 102, relapse prevention, anger management, mindfulness, boundaries and wellness classes. The groups are described as programming for residents of Easy Does It, so people take part as part of living in the program.
Daily meditation runs Monday through Sunday. It is a short morning meditation with a reading on a recovery topic and positive affirmations from staff and others in recovery, followed by a group discussion of that day's reading. People are encouraged to share their ideas on the reading while maintaining respect and confidentiality.
Recovery 101 runs Monday through Friday. It covers the first three steps, boundaries, self-esteem, poetry and music therapy, along with topics such as budgeting, life skills and confidentiality, and it routinely includes readings, worksheets and group work. The daily programming is built around finding a member's distress tolerance, teaching coping skill integration, and learning how to rationally debate ideas. Recovery 102 is a more advanced group that addresses self-care practices, family involvement, housing and transportation needs, employment and clinical treatment for mental disorders, and helps people define their own life goals and design their own pathway of recovery.
Other groups include:
- Relapse Prevention, a 6-week workshop over 6 consecutive weeks that covers the difference between being drug and alcohol free and being in recovery, internal, external and sensory triggers, warning signs, the correlation between relationships and relapse, healthy habits and high risk situations, and ends with writing your own relapse prevention plan.
- Anger Management, where residents learn to recognize early signs of anger and respond in more productive ways, with coping skills such as being self-aware, slowing down, changing your way of thinking and taking a moment.
- A Mindfulness Stress Based Reduction group, 6 weeks long, focused on identifying your spiritual self versus your addict self, with stop and think activities, planned mindful moments and a daily homework workbook to practice between sessions. It draws on Buddhist principles, but you do not need to be Buddhist, and you can have any higher power of your choice or none.
- Boundaries, which connects problem solving skills with cognitive self-change to uncover risky thoughts, feelings, attitudes and beliefs.
- Wellness classes and groups. Nutrition Basics covers food safety, storage, preparation and temperatures, planning a meal, a weekly menu and a shopping list, plus budgeting and shopping. Financial Wellness covers banking, credit and budgeting, building a budget, saving and goals, good and bad debt, credit cards and identity theft, and includes help locating credit reports and banking reports that may be preventing someone from opening a bank account, getting utility service or obtaining housing. Wellness groups also include yoga and paddle boarding.
Easy Does It does not conduct job readiness programs itself. It prepares residents to take part in the R3 and BCPS employment programs, where individuals join an employment group and receive vocational assistance, on the job training and job readiness skill training such as resume writing and interview skills for approximately 8 weeks. Residents with low or no income, who have been incarcerated or have prior involvement with the legal system usually benefit well from those programs.
