Against the Stream in Hollywood and Santa Monica has ongoing weekly meetings open to anyone interested in addiction recovery and Buddhism."Refuge Recovery" is a community of people who are using the practices of mindfulness, compassion, forgiveness, and generosity to heal the pain and suffering addiction has caused in our lives and the lives of our loved ones.
The path of practice that followed is what Noah Levine [currently under investigation] and friends calls the "Four Truths of Refuge Recovery." These are a Buddhist-oriented path to recovery from addiction.
It has proven successful with addicts and alcoholics who have committed to the Buddhist path of meditation, generosity, kindness, and renunciation.
