Empowering wellness for families through advocacy and peer-to-peer services.

What is The Connection Forsyth?

The Connection Forsyth offers a wellness-focused model for long-term recovery by supporting multiple pathways, including our year-round wellness initiatives.

The Connection is a place for those who are committed to wellness and long-term recovery to find fellowship, peer coaching, fun sober social events and support for family members.

As we continue to maintain and begin to thrive in our recovery, our physical, emotional, relational, spiritual and social wellness begin to improve as well. We offer a wide range of recovery support options, from peer-to-peer services to wellness events for the whole family and everything in between.

If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, The Connection Forsyth may be able to help.
