Recovery Begins With Wellness
Addictive patterns are isolating and destructive. In addition, a lack of professional insight and specialized training surrounding the etiology of addictions in later life can lead to well-intentioned but misguided interventions.
NOAAR understands the importance of community connections across the lifespan, and strongly believes these connections are an essential ingredient of a successful recovery. That’s why we provide a platform to link individuals, family members and practitioners for support, exchange and solutions.
NOAAR is a full-service resource in the Adult Addictions and Recovery Community, consisting of nationwide training and education, membership, and consulting.

What is INTERSECTIONS?
INTERSECTIONS is an innovative, peer delivered, modular self-care program developed by the National Organization of Adult Addictions and Recovery (NOAAR) and Mental Health America of Dutchess County.
Addiction, chronic illness, and mental health are dimensions in our lives that isolate us. They isolate us from ourselves, from others, and from our spirit. INTERSECTIONS helps us connect and reconnect to reach our full potential.
INTERSECTIONS promotes the reduction of reoccurrence, improved maintenance of recovery plans, and success within family systems and the community.
Modules include:
- Orientation
- Meditation
- Movement
- Nutrition
- Mindfulness
- Personal Visions and Goals
- Spirituality
INTERSECTIONS is based on a theoretical orientation called The Theory of Dimensionality and is rooted in a Practice-Based Intervention, Dimensional Solution Based Treatment (DSBT).
“We cannot fix you because you are not broken … everybody has stuff. We are all in Recovery from something.”
