Journey House Foundation invites you to read, learn, connect, and have meaningful conversations about substance use disorder, opioid addiction, and recovery.
During the fall of 2026, Journey House Foundation will host a FREE community book study featuring Complete Freedom from Opioid Addiction: A Guide from a Recovering Physician by Dr. Peter Coleman.
This book study is open to everyone. Whether you are a person in recovery, supporting a loved one, working in the recovery community, or simply interested in learning more about substance use disorder and recovery, you are welcome to join us.
About the Book Study
Recovery affects individuals, families, and entire communities. Understanding substance use disorder can help reduce stigma, strengthen support systems, and create more informed conversations about recovery.
Throughout the book study, participants will read a few chapters at a time and come together for regular facilitated discussions. The goal is not simply to read a book. It is to create a welcoming space to ask questions, share perspectives, learn from one another, and build a greater understanding of addiction and recovery.
What to Expect
Participants will:
- Read selected chapters between meetings
- Gather regularly for facilitated group discussions
- Explore questions and ideas raised throughout the book
- Learn alongside people with different experiences and perspectives
- Participate in a special conversation and Q&A with author Dr. Peter Coleman
- Have an opportunity to have their book signed by Dr. Coleman
No previous knowledge or connection to Journey House is required. Everyone is welcome. This is a free community program.
Location
Meetings will take place in person at Journey House Recovery Center:
7740 Shrader Road, Ste. F, Henrico, VA 23228
