Conversations on the multiple ways to recover from addiction with the members of Turning Point Recovery Center in Walpole, Massachusetts
13 FEB. 2024 · From parents to retirees to college students, team sports has been proven to help people in addiction recovery stay sober, get healthier, and connect with their community in a meaningful way.
So, at the peer-led Turning Point Recovery Center in Walpole, MA, we set up a summer softball team!
Every Sunday, dozens of members of TPRC in Walpole get together to play other amateur teams from local recovery centers. Some come to watch and cheer on their friends, and some families bring their kids along, allowing for deeper conversations at home about addiction and recovery.
