The easy-to-use program provides positive coping skills that are proven to work and lets people work on their recovery at their pace. The program allows people to set their own recovery goals and provides tools to escape negative thoughts, manage cravings, and control negative emotions such as anger and anxiety. Breaking Free can be entirely self directed or may be used in conjunction with a treatment plan which includes an addiction counsellor.
