Work through our addiction program at your own pace

We do not believe that addiction is a chronic disease that cannot be cured. We believe addiction is a compelling, destructive involvement that — because it detracts from other areas of people’s lives — forces them to rely with greater exclusivity on the addictive experience they get from the involvement, whether with drugs or anything else.    

In the Life Program you will spend time setting goals for living an addiction free life and you will develop the skills and tools necessary to accomplish those goals. Most importantly, you will do all of these things while going about your day to day life.

Recover!: Stop Thinking Like an Addict and Reclaim Your Life with The PERFECT Program [TM]  

 

For decades you’ve been told that addiction is an irreversible disease, a biological force over which you have no control. That defeatist message not only is without scientific foundation; it actually prevents your overcoming addiction.

Now, addiction expert Stanton Peele demystifies addiction and offers a groundbreaking program that puts at your disposal what does work in treatment and recovery.  


For four decades, Dr. Peele has challenged and changed our understanding of addiction and recovery.  He has developed approaches that break the cycle of addiction and empower people to take control of their lives – including understanding that we are able to direct our own brains to change. 

In Recover! Dr. Peele’s PERFECT Program takes you through the key concepts of mindfulness – that is, your ability to detach from your addictive experience and to see that it is not who you are – combined with the Buddhist idea of loving kindness, or self-acceptance.  

The program that allows your true self to overcome your addictive urges.

Instead of focusing on what's wrong with you, The PERFECT Program will help you discover, embrace, and build your recovery on what's already right about you. 


Combining evidence-based treatments with the mindful meditation, Recover! presents a life-transforming philosophy for freeing yourself from addiction forever.

The Truth About Addiction and Recovery  

by Stanton Peele (Author) , Archie Brodsky (Author) , Mary Arnold (Contributor)

In this revolutionary analysis of addiction, Peele and Brodsky draw on years of research to refute the contention that addictions are biologically based diseases that last a life
time. 

Examining addiction within the context of people's lives, they show that addictive behavior is a way of coping with situational stress--and that it can be overcome without medical treatment or 12-step groups.
