Post-Treatment Recovery & Community Support
Shree Hari Har Mandir also recognizes the importance of continued community support for individuals rebuilding their lives following substance-use treatment or rehabilitation.

Our recovery-support activities are non-clinical and are not a substitute for professional addiction treatment, psychotherapy, medical care or rehabilitation services. Individuals requiring clinical or specialized services are encouraged to continue working with their appropriate healthcare or treatment providers.
Supporting Participation and Independence
Our goal is to create an inclusive environment in which seniors and individuals continuing their recovery can remain active, connected and engaged.
Through recreation, movement, meditation, companionship, accessibility support, community participation and spiritual engagement, we strive to help participants strengthen their physical, mental, social and emotional well-being while maintaining their independence and connection with the wider community.
