The Recovery Of A Recovery Program

The different parts of the meeting were run by different people—the worship service by the worship leader, the main message and testimony was led by a Celebrate Recovery national leader, and the open-groups were led those who had been attending Celebration Recovery for a while and are in recovery. During the main service the national leader shared his fall into drugs, how he met his wife, their struggles, and how he began his recovery and his wife shared her side of the experience throughout the message.

Their arch rival is the recovery program known as “Celebrate Recovery” which is a bible-based ministry that is reared to offering counsel to their participants, which suffer from all "hurts, hang-ups and habits", including but not limited to drug and alcohol addictions, sex addiction, eating disorders, and people who have been sexually abused, that was established in the early 1990 by Pastors John Baker and Rick Warren of Saddleback Church, in a counteraction to teachings of twelve-step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous Its creators thought that Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous definition and allusion of God as a "higher power" was very ambiguous, in addition they wanted a more Scriptural and Christian based program. Celebrate Recovery applies the eight Recovery Principles that are based on the Sermon on the Mount. Former incumbent President George W. Bush honored them with his attendance to their Faith-Based and Community Initiative Conference in 2004, who praised John Baker and Celebrate Recovery by saying that, "government is not good at changing hearts. But a person like John Baker has been good about it and successful doing that." (Wikipedia, 2012)

The treatment would be to take a closer look at the recovery life for the individual or family instead of fixing it. For example this article talks about using the model in substance abuse such as; Lorie Obernauer, PhD, recovery consultant and coach and former Alumni Coordinator at CeDAR in Colorado, says that at CeDAR (Center for Dependency, Addiction and Rehabilitation), “We are actually putting something into play that is really directed to helping our clients live in recovery and use some new tools to understand the new world that they are now entering.”(S. Brys). The author talks about “She says this model of treatment is a solution-oriented model rather than one of relapse prevention, as it has been in the past. Obernauer will be presenting on this topic at this month’s National Conference on Addiction Disorders with Steve Millette, MS, LAC, Executive Director of CeDAR”(Brys). She explains how treatments professionals can be “tour guides,” helping clients move from what William White calls a “culture of addiction” to a “culture of recovery.” Here are other examples that she uses for when the family or individuals are ready to move on to culture of recovery;

I saw a small crowd of people near that back door of the church classroom wing, so I casually walked in their direction. It was a huge relief to see a sign directing me inside, but I was surprised to see that it included an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. I had a rush of fear that someone might 1) recognize me, or 2) think I was an addict. Experiencing them allowed me to understand what my clients might feel when they attend a

Out of the three “R's,” the next one was recovery programs. These programs were intended to fix the economy in the short run and put people back to work. There were other recover programs in the New Deal. One of them was the National Industrial Recovery Act. This act was also part of the National Recovery Administration. The NIRA actually created the NRA which was a combination of businesses organized by the government and gave the power to set rules and regulations for the economy. The Public Works Administration was also involved with NIRA. It took funds to construct roads and other federal projects. It provided jobs for people in order for them to go back to work. Another recovery program was the Agriculture Adjustment Act. This act was

On Friday, June 5th, Megan Crews and I attended a community support group meeting at New Horizon Church of Christ. This meeting was a for teens and young adults that were experiencing issues of emotional abuse, substance abuse, sexual abuse, depression, co-dependency, and anything else that was causing them struggles. The Landing (what this group is called), is a daughter program of Celebrate Recovery, which has been helping people in different communities for 20 years. This collection of groups is faith based and helps the whole family, not just the individual experiencing the problem. It is set up as a fifty-two week program, based on principles that Jesus shared in the Sermon on the Mount. They use a 12-step program model using Jesus Christ as their focus and not psychological theory. There are over 20,000 programs in churches around the world. The programs have also had great success being used in the prison system. Since the beginning of these programs, many people have found peace and healing from their issues, hurts, and habits.

During the first phase participants are given basic recovery principles and skills needed to overcome their substance dependency and are asked to commit to a Christ-centered recovery plan (phoenixrescuemission.org, n.d.). During the second phase program members attend classes and counseling to identify destructive patterns and behaviors. They also commit to making amends and take responsibility for damage relationships or harm that they have caused themselves and others (phoenixrescuemission.org, n.d.). Additionally, at the end of this phase participants begin to focus on their talents and skills that will help them lead a new life. They are offered training in areas that they may be deficient. The third phase prepares program members for their independence by offering them three options. Participants will either begin pursuing and maintaining employment, start a mentorship in Christian leadership and receive service responsibilities, or began intensive re-entry training for those who are married, face legal mandates, or must deal with health difficulties (phoenixrescuemission.org, n.d.). Those clients who wish to receive additional support are offered six months of aftercare, during which they complete monthly progress reports and participate in meetings with the program’s alumni association (phoenixrescuemission.org,

Overall I managed to gain a lot from Rehabs story. The more profound topic that really stick out to me was the fact that no matter how sinful ones past was the Lord can still work wondrous things through you. That alone blows my mind beyond measure. This just goes to show you how immense and grand is the love that our father has for us.

The parent has not been in contact with the recover specialist since she discharged from residential treatment”. While in residential treatment the recovery specialist spoke with the parent and the parent expressed her desire to exit residential treatment. The recover specialist spoke with the parent about creating a safety plan regarding exiting residential treatment. The parent was advised to stay in residential treatment until a referral for outpatient was in place. The recovery specialist emailed the parent case work and requested that a referral be sent over Terra Firma for OP and UA testing.

I have been involved with this commitment to recovery for over twenty-three years. In the beginning recovery was effortless as I was married with a young child and I just worked, went to meetings and called my sponsor. Recovery was my focus and there was ample time to serve my group by bringing doughnuts, making coffee and handing out anniversary tokens.

Furlong, Leddy, Ferguson, and Heart’s (2009), “Assertive Community Treatment and Recovery at Thresholds”, reports in detail the principles of Assertive Community Treatment (ACT). For example, ACT teams include: psychiatrists; nurses; peer counselors; employment and housing specialists; mental health counselors; case managers and substance abuse counselors. The team of diverse professions all work together with small caseloads to deliver intensive care. Next, they explain how ACT was developed after deinstitutionalization to decrease re-hospitalization rates. In fact, Act model outcomes show it reduces the rates of re-hospitalization, improves symptomology, and decreases incarcerations of individuals with serious mental illness. Last, the

The mental health program that I will develop would incorporate a recovery focused model. To begin with the environmental setting, the agency would have a clean facility that was appropriate for participants to feel safe. Moreover, there would be different artistic paintings that were diverse and culturally competent. The room would be colorful and friendly where participants would feel inspired to have positive feelings before their session. Collins (2008) describes optimism and hope as strong influences that help participants with less stress and better coping skills. Also, the facility would have music and magazines to keep participant’s focused in order to prepare for their session. For the children, there would be appropriate toys

Raz pulled the plastic booties on over his feet and took a couple steps. It reminded him of the padded booties he'd worn as an EMT, only lighter and more flimsy. The fox rubbed the fabric between his fingers, then reached around back to pull the tail flap around his bushy tail. It sealed at the top with a Velcro strip.

This also lets others know that deliverance, healing and breakthrough takes place when we release and not keep things bottled up on the inside, please know you are not alone. You made out alive some didn’t get

Sri Lanka is deeply committed to solving the post-economic and social recovery conflict due to its 26-year civil year war, as it devastated nearly 66% of the population of its Northern and Eastern provinces. After the civil war against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) ended in May 2009, most aspects of life suffered ___ hundreds of thousands of people were displaced, institutions disintegrated, and imperative irrigation schemes were in great need of repair. The government of Sri Lanka (GOSL) is now experiencing colossal and extremely complex challenges of reassembling marred or destroyed physical infrastructure, albeit the top priority of GOSL is to guide the conflict-affected population back to productive life and to establish a physically, economically and socially sustainable environment for their recovery.
