Book excerpt: Radical Recovery Peer Support is a program that utilizes Peer Support to help individuals achieve wellness and personal growth. The author of the program uses first-person inspirational passages to draw parallels between concepts and recovery. The Program can be done either in-person or online. For the group programs, we have three options. The first is a general wellness and personal growth group which is simply called Radical Recovery Peer Support. There is also a group with a focus on higher education called "RRPS-University", and finally there is a version of RRPS for Criminal-reentry called "RRPS-Liberation". Over the course of five sessions each group covers important concepts like the Linear Growth Model and Parallel Recovery Concepts. It Also Focuses on the nine Recovery Fundamentals which include principles like Honesty, Trust, Acceptance, Hope, Personal Responsibility, Self-Advocacy, and others. How each group presents the concepts and fundamentals is unique. The Linear Growth Model recognizes that while growth and recovery are not always linear, putting in effort does often lead to progress over time. Growth may appear uneven, with periods of progress and periods of struggle. However, making consistent efforts through programs like Radical Recovery Peer Support can help us move closer to our hope of achieving stability and wellness.

Download or read book Radical Recovery written by Valerie Kuecker Cleveland and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This thesis operates under the assumption that addicts continue to relapse because most recovery programs focus on addiction as the primary disorder rather than viewing addiction as one component of a much larger process. Other mental disorders and the impact of unresolved childhood trauma are often minimized and may have a larger impact on relapse than considered. The present thesis views recovery as a developmental process, involving multiple stages, instead of perceiving recovery as just maintaining sobriety and engaging in spiritual practices. The purpose of this thesis is to present a treatment plan proposal, called Radical Recovery, which perceives recovery as a process. Radical Recovery addresses treating addiction, co-morbid disorders, and unresolved trauma through partaking in group and individual therapy and exercises designed to assist addicts [to] reconnect with the self, others, and the Higher-Self"--Leaf [iii].
Download or read book Entering a Non Linear World Reentry and Recovery Peer Support written by Mishelle M. O'Shasky and published by Participant Work Book. This book was released on 2019-02-17 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Put simply, a peer is a person we identify with in some capacity. This can include anything from age to gender to sexual orientation to shared language. In behavioral health, a peer is usually used to refer to someone who shares the experience of living with a psychiatric disorder and/or addiction. In that narrow context two people living with those conditions are peers, but in reality most people are far more specific about whom they would rely on for peer support. Trust and compatibility are extremely important factors.Peer providers can play many roles in support for people living with psychiatric disorders and/or in addiction recovery. They are capable of facilitating education and support groups and working as a bridge linking people to services as they transition from hospitals or jails into the community. Peers go by many names and can work in many different settings. Many peers have additional training and certification that demonstrates their skills and knowledge. Combined with their lived experience and ability to engage and connect with consumers, peer supporters are a dynamic and growing group that continue to transform lives and systems. Peers also work one-on-one as role models, mentors, coaches and advocates and support people seeking whole person wellness and recovery from mental illness, substance use disorders, co-occurring disorders, reentering from hospitals, institutions, homelessness, reintegration from jail and or prison.Historically it has always been very difficult to document the qualitative outcomes. This work book is specifically designed to show the truest value of peer support, a nontraditional holistic relationship between two people that have similar lived experience.
Download or read book Recovery Groups written by Linda Farris Kurtz DPA and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-10-31 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on community self-help and support groups specifically in the context of recovery movements in addiction and mental health care. The idea of groups of recovering people meeting together may seem like a simple one and not one requiring much effort and thought; however, as this book will show, this is not the case. In Recovery Groups: A Guide to Creating, Leading, and Working with Groups for Addictions and Mental Health Conditions Linda Kurtz breaks down the recovery movement for addictions and mental health care into three sections. In the first section recovery concepts are broken down into two fields: how they differ and how they come together. The second section focuses on methods of working with independent self-help groups and leadership in support groups. Kurtz touches on the study of helping mechanisms, social climate, group teachings, group structure, and how to use each of these to improve group performance. In the third section of the book, Kurtz examines social and community actions from members involved in Twelve-Step fellowships and consumer survivor organizations. The final section also details programs that provide employment, housing, and mutual support, explaining how to accomplish these goals without a large expense. This book will be useful to students, professional mental health and addiction workers, recovery coaches and peer support specialists, and group members and leaders who are interested in this topic.

Download or read book Recovery Allies written by Alison Jones Webb, MA, MPH and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2022-09-06 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For readers of The Least of Us and In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts--a practical, hopeful, and research-based guide for supporting loved ones through addiction and recovery. This isn’t a book about addiction--it’s a book about recovery. Written for every loved one, community member, and recovery professional who wants to know “how do I help?,” Recovery Allies offers real-world solutions, evidence-based strategies, and, above all, hope for the 23 million Americans living in recovery from substance use disorder. Other books describe how to treat addiction or offer stories of recovery and redemption, but this is the first to comprehensively approach our addiction crisis from a community perspective. You’ll learn about: Reducing the shame and stigma that can prevent folks in recovery from asking for help The tools essential to addressing our addiction epidemic How to apply public health strategies across all community sectors, from healthcare and law enforcement to faith organizations and education The critical role of relationships and community support in achieving sobriety and maintaining recovery Relapse prevention, harm reduction, and peer support Recovery Allies is structured around the key pillars of recovery as identified by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA): home, health, purpose, and community. It shows you a different way to think about addiction in our country--and what you can do to help in all your spheres of influence. Most adults with substance use disorder don’t receive specialized treatment like counseling, medication, or rehab. Instead, the recovery journey starts in their communities, among family and friends--here and now, with their recovery allies.

Download or read book Recovery s Edge written by Neely Laurenzo Myers and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-18 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2003 the Bush Administration's New Freedom Commission asked mental health service providers to begin promoting "recovery" rather than churning out long-term, "chronic" mental health service users. Recovery's Edge sends us to urban America to view the inner workings of a mental health clinic run, in part, by people who are themselves "in recovery" from mental illness. In this provocative narrative, Neely Myers sweeps us up in her own journey through three years of ethnographic research at this unusual site, providing a nuanced account of different approaches to mental health care. Recovery's Edge critically examines the high bar we set for people in recovery through intimate stories of people struggling to find meaningful work, satisfying relationships, and independent living. This book is a recipient of the Norman L. and Roselea J. Goldberg Prize from Vanderbilt University Press for the best book in the area of medicine.
