The Life Process Program is proud to announce a significant update to its unique online addiction program, including a new look, new content and new features!
The Life Process Program was first created and implemented as an inpatient program by the the world leading authority on non-12 step addiction recovery, Dr. Stanton Peele. He has recently adapted his revolutionary, secular, non-12 step program for delivery in a more inclusive, expansive online format. His vision is to bring substantive addiction thought, and affordable help to the general public.
We were excited to launch a pilot version of the online program back in 2015 to prove that it could work, but we are even more excited to have taken all our learning from that initial pilot and incorporated them into the worlds most up to date, comprehensive non-12 step online addiction treatment program available.
So what makes the Life Process Program (so) different?
- Developed by Dr. Stanton Peele, the world leading authority on non-12 step addiction recovery
- Structured online program with 8 comprehensive modules and over 50 thought-provoking exercises
- Regular feedback, advice and guidance from your dedicated Life Process Coach throughout the program
- Private video coaching – work directly with your coach through our secure online video conferencing application
- Access peer support – through our secure online group meetings and discussion forums
At LPP, we believe in looking at addiction in a practical context. We all have issues to varying degrees, though not all show themselves in addictive behavior. The trick is not to let any one thing overwhelm our ability to enjoy a full, varied life where we’re making contributions to our world. And that’s what the Life Process Program takes a real look at, guiding you through a step-by-step process of identifying what is going on now, in the present, uncovering your core values, and then building a solid self-motivated and guided journey of self-exploration and practice so that you can push addictive behaviors away as you embrace a full, meaningful life.
LPP is a serious program for addiction recovery, put together by the most famous, controversial, and well-respected addiction treatment expert in the world today, Dr. Stanton Peele. It features a rich combination of multimedia materials, including structured exercises, where you will receive direct feedback from your personal coach, and the option for additional regular coaching services, group meetings, and more.
The core program, designed to be done thoughtfully, over a period of time, consists of a set of 8 modules, including written exercises. A coach is assigned to every participant, and individualized, written feedback is provided for the exercises. Video, audio and chat options are available for additional personal coaching services.
We are still implementing exciting new ways to expand the support available to our clients. We have recently added group meetings to provide peer support and a venue for our clients to practice using new techniques and discuss their experiences as they consider our fresh, somewhat unfamiliar approaches to some of the thinking around addiction recovery treatment and support.
We do not discourage anyone from seeking intensive treatment based on their assessment of personal need, but we believe in self-help as a first-resort. The LPP believes that people have the ability to make good choices for themselves and to shake free from the falsely soothing promises of addictive substances and behaviors.
Dr. Peele has been at the forefront of addiction theory and practice for over 40 years. For much of his career he was considered radical and dangerous because he objected to treatment via the religious, 12-step orientation. Over time, as the understanding of addiction has evolved, his ground-breaking thinking is now in evidence in nearly all comprehensive addiction treatment approaches that includes solid psychological theory and practice. Even in the most stalwart 12-step facilities.
Stanton Peele’s books are legendary, and he continues to speak, influence discussion and thought in addiction, particularly in terms of social and personal factors. The recently relaunched online platform allows us to deliver his wonderful Life Process Program in an accessible, affordable and private environment.
Dr. Stanton Peele, recognized as one of the world's leading addiction experts, developed the Life Process Program after decades of research, writing, and treatment about and for people with addictions. Dr. Peele is the author of 14 books. His work has been published in leading professional journals and popular publications around the globe.
