Connection is medicine.

SeekHealing provides social health programs to rebuild disconnected communities – healing loneliness, systemic shame, trauma, and addiction.

SeekHealing provides free social health services for anyone at any stage in the process of healing from addiction or trauma.

Behind the opioid overdose epidemic is a much greater loneliness epidemic: an increasing lack of meaningful connection in society, and the trauma that goes hand-in-hand with isolation.

In a new approach to the epidemic, SeekHealing addresses the social drivers of addiction. We help each other experience real human connection and we provide free access to holistic healing services.

We will not solve the addiction problem in America if we don’t address social connection. Vivek H. Murthy, 19th Surgeon General of the United States

How do we build a community that is inherently resilient to addiction?

  • No drug tests. No termination policies.
  • Treat both the individual and the community for addiction
  • Engage the whole community in treatment: people who use drugs, people who don’t use drugs, people who drink, people who don’t drink, people on MAT, people in Recovery, people who aren’t in recovery: anyone seeking connection is welcome.
  • Meetings that are about experiencing connection, not getting advice
  • Free training in meaningful connection & conversation: how to heal social anxiety
  • Authentic and substance-free social gatherings
  • Free meditation workshops, yoga classes, reiki sessions, art classes, and more
  • Extra support for those at risk for overdose in the form of free holistic healing services

Addiction cannot be healed unless its source in childhood suffering is addressed, and unless the cycles of relapse are stopped through empathic human connections. SeekHealing is dedicated to healing trauma, and it provides the necessary connections that empower people to break from that self-defeating cycle. Gabor Maté, M.D.

Before SeekHealing, I lived my life in the shadows. I kept different parts of myself hidden from everyone in my life: I was a different person at work than I was with my family, than with my girlfriend, than with my drug dealer. Now, I live my life in the light. I’m living the life I want to live, and I’m being honest with the people around me about who I am, about what I do and don’t want to do. It’s because I have people to talk to about what’s really going on, people who care about me and who will listen to me and not judge me for which chemicals I choose to use or not use. Travis P.

I have attended rehab nine times. All the months I spent in rehab, everything I learned, does not compare with how valuable one weekend with Seekhealing was for me. It was truly an enlightening experience, and one I would highly recommend to others. Addiction caused me tremendous pain, and made me desperate for answers. SeekHealing has the simple, beautiful answer: human connection. Farrell G.
