PENNSCYPAA
The Pennsylvania State Conference of Young People in Alcoholics Anonymous (affectionately known as “penn-see-pa”) brings the newcomer into the mainstream of AA Recovery, Service, and Unity through the 12 Steps, the 12 Traditions and the 12 Concepts for World Service--carrying AA’s message to the suffering alcoholic. Members of PENNSCYPAA and other young people groups and conferences are in no way separate from Alcoholics Anonymous as a whole. Members are involved in and committed to all levels of AA service, from the group level to the General Service Conference, and at every level in between. Newcomers are shown, by people their own age, that using AA principles in their daily lives and getting involved in AA service can lead to a lasting and comfortable sobriety.

NA members share their successes and challenges in overcoming active addiction and living drug-free, productive lives through the application of principles contained within the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of NA.
Crystal Meth Anonymous (CMA)
CMA is a fellowship of people who share their experience, strength and hope with each other, so they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from addiction to crystal meth. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using. There are no dues or fees for CMA membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. CMA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; and neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to lead a sober life and to carry the message of recovery to the crystal meth addict who still suffers.
DHARMA Recovery
DHARMA Recovery believes that Buddhist principles and practices create a strong foundation for a path to freedom from addiction. This approach to recovery understands: All individuals have the power and potential to free themselves from the suffering caused by addiction. This is a process that cultivates a path of awakening, the path of recovering from the addictions and delusions that have created so much suffering in our lives and in this world. RR believes that training our hearts and minds to see clearly and respond to our lives with understanding and non-harming can free us from addiction. In the beginning, some of these practices may seem confusing or counter-instinctual, and indeed some of them are, but we believe they provide a clear path to freedom.
This is a Veterans Only PTSD Group reserved for veterans suffering from this oftentimes debilitating disorder. The group discusses practical solutions for dealing with PTSD as well as methods to manage everyday triggers and obstacles. There are veterans to support one another for specific forms of PTSD such as combat related, as well as those dealing with other similar issues as one another. The group believes there are no quick answers or shortcuts and that together, we can manage our symptoms and lead happy, productive, fulfilling lives.

JFT is proud to offer the first Medication Assisted Recovery meeting in the Central Pennsylvania Area. This operates on the 12-step philosophy adopted by the nationally recognized Medication Assisted Recovery Anonymous (MARA).
"Medication-Assisted Recovery Anonymous is a support group of people who believe in the value of medication as a means to recovery. We understand that our individual needs may not be the same; our backgrounds may not be the same; our futures may not be the same. However, our desire to live a safe lifestyle joins us together. Non-judgement is our code." – MARA Preamble
