Since 2005, Charlton Hall, MMFT, PhD, has been at the forefront of evidence-based treatment for Substance Use Disorder (SUD). With over two decades of experience, Dr. Hall has combined traditional therapeutic methods with innovative approaches, creating a supportive and effective pathway for people seeking recovery. The Mindful Ecotherapy Center is excited to announce a new SUD Group for residents of Washington State and South Carolina, launching in May 2026.
Evidence-Based SUD Group Treatment
This upcoming online group provides a safe, structured space for participants to explore their recovery journey while connecting with others facing similar challenges. Dr. Hall integrates a variety of proven therapeutic approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapy. This combination allows participants not only to address the psychological and behavioral aspects of SUD but also to cultivate awareness, self-compassion, and resilience through nature-inspired mindfulness practices.
As a trained SMART Recovery facilitator, Dr. Hall brings a strengths-based, self-empowering approach to the SUD Group. His background includes serving as a Volunteer Advisor for South Carolina from 2011 to 2020, supporting local recovery communities and fostering peer-based engagement. This experience informs his online group facilitation, emphasizing accountability, peer support, and practical tools that participants can integrate into daily life.
Weekly SUD Group
The SUD Group will meet virtually, allowing residents of Washington State and South Carolina to participate without the constraints of geography. Sessions will provide structured discussions, guided mindfulness exercises, and actionable strategies for managing cravings, coping with triggers, and maintaining long-term recovery. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, share experiences, and learn from Dr. Hall’s expertise, all within a confidential and supportive environment.
