How you help Today, Strides in Recovery coaches and volunteers bring the healing power of exercise to addiction treatment programs throughout Southern California. Together we are growing physically, emotionally, and mentally stronger. Together we are supporting sobriety, one stride at a time.
About us Not that everyone needs to run a marathon, but everyone battling addiction should have the opportunity to learn that regular exercise is physically, mentally, and emotionally healing. And, training toward a challenging goal with the support of their sober community, provides even more benefits. Through our goal-oriented group running and walking programs, we promote a body-mind-soul approach to recovery while reinforcing the life skills and mindset needed to support long term sobriety.
