Key Quote(s)

  • “As long as women are dying from addiction and other issues, I’m going to continue to get creative in serving them the best I can.” – Wendy Noe
  • “I love the fact that [at Dove Recovery House] treatment doesn’t start when you enter the brick and mortar, treatment starts when you onboard onto our waiting list and in order to maintain your place on our waiting list you have to be involved in individual and group therapy.” – Dr. Larry Force

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.”
