Are you ready to begin your recovery from the comfort of your own home?

Module 1

Self Reflection

We believe that anyone, including you, can achieve recovery by creating the necessary fundamental supports in your life.  People with strong values, and with the motivation to change, succeed better at quitting addictions. You need to seek and gain these advantages that non-addicted people have. In the first module we help you assess what assets you have and what assets you need to acquire to help you lead an addiction-free life.

Module 2

Values

Values play a critical role in addiction, and your values are likely to be the key to your escaping addiction.  In this module we will examine values that are the most anti-addictive and how you can use your own values as a tool to fight addiction. We provide exercises that are geared toward identifying and utilizing your true values.

Module 3

Motivation

This module shows how critical motivation is in overcoming addiction, and reviews the best methods for energizing you to change, even when dealing with the most severe addictions. You will learn therapy techniques that have been shown to be the most effective for improving your motivation and combating addictions.

Module 4

Rewards

If motivation is the force that drives you to act, then rewards are what you gain from that activity. People quit their addictions when they begin to get more rewards for living without the addiction than they got from feeding the addiction. Put into economic terms, you give up your habit when you believe that its costs exceed its benefits.

Module 5

Resources

Overcoming addiction requires you to evaluate your strengths and weaknesses. We will help you assess what resources you already have and what resources you currently lack.  You will develop the skills that will allow you to expand your resources. Key assets in fighting addiction include supportive relationships, work skills and accomplishments, hobbies and interests and developing coping skills such as being able to deal with stress. Included in the exercise package for developing your inner resources are the critical tools of mindfulness and meditation.

Module 6

Support and Intimacy

Human beings are social animals. Our peers and intimates have an enormous impact on our perspectives and our behaviour. We respond in both positive and negative ways to those we are intimate and live with. In this module we explore skills and strategies for creating the support network that can help you lead a fulfilling, addiction free life. You will explore here your past relationship traumas and how these can create anxieties to overcome in your current relationships.

Module 7

A Mature Identity

Overcoming addiction requires growing up and assuming adult roles. And to mature, you need to do more than simply get older—you also need to experience life and learn its lessons. In Module 7 we look at tools and strategies for developing a new version of yourself; one which does not call attention to your addiction and one where addiction does not define who you are.

Module 8

Greater Goals

The most successful strategy for tackling addiction is to see yourself as an active participant in the addiction and its solution. Your selection and pursuit of goals is among the best ways to make sure you overcome and avoid addiction. In this final module we help guide you towards setting and keeping track of goals as you pursue a life full of meaning and purpose.
