The group sessions at Strive Recovery were incredibly helpful. I was able to talk openly about things I had been holding in for years, and the instructors made me feel heard and supported.

Strive Recovery of Iowa truly changed my life. Joe Trumbley played a strategic role in my recovery, and without his guidance and support, I don’t believe I would be where I am today. The lessons I learned here continue to help me every single day.
