Addiction does not discriminate; it affects people from all walks of life. However, the journey through addiction and recovery often looks different for women than it does for men, influenced by biological, psychological, societal, and relational factors. Recognizing these complexities is crucial in tailoring treatment approaches that effectively address women’s specific needs. Gender-specific treatment programs, exemplified by centers like Avery Lane Women’s Rehab, offer a pathway to recovery that acknowledges these distinctions and provides comprehensive support.

Most people that experience trauma probably experience it when they’re younger, when there’s some kind of abuse when they’re children, and it gets stuffed deep down and it starts coming up and it impacts them as people grow up and get older. In the case of military veterans, in many cases, trauma comes from combat, and the things that they have seen in combat themselves. Suicide is a huge problem in the veteran community. Taking a look at the numbers of how many people were lost in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan compared to how many suicides happened since those wars started, there have been ..read more

Ethnicity and cultural issues are something that we need to be very competent with because that’s going to be different for everybody and families are different for everybody. “If you want to find out everything about yourself, find out everything about your parents, your grandparents, find out the kind of cars they liked, what kind of food they liked, all of that.” -Alice Walker, The Temple Of My Familiar The connection back to our parents and grandparents for us and working with families is slow steady progress.

It is always helpful to have spa days, and getting massages and other self-care rituals, however they don’t really change anything about the real burnout. In cases of depletion and burnout, self-care acts more like a Band-Aid. With the Conscious Recovery system, we believe that when the clinician is deeply connected with their true nature, there is access to an abundant and infinite energy. True self care is to deeply connect with one’s true nature and be fully present. When a clinician is with a client or a group of clients, the true therapeutic alliance resonates with the presence that can ..read more

Many clinicians in the traditional recovery systems feel depleted of energy after doing this kind of work. This happens when someone views their job as needing to do something for someone, or to make a person or group go a certain way, or wanting a particular breakthrough for a client. When a clinician thinks that the client is broken and that they need to fix them, it is an exhausting experience. With Conscious Recovery, we view a client’s diagnosis or their addiction as a brilliant strategy. Viewing them from this perspective is a game changer, in that it opens up the opportunity to look fo ..read more

Conscious Recovery is a book, a workbook, an online resource and a curriculum. The Conscious Recovery treatment program is more like an experience, rather than a training. It isn’t really about the client, but about the clinician. Many clinicians are trained to diagnose and treat clients, and may mistakenly believe that they have all the answers. But with the Conscious Recovery process, it’s less about putting a client through the program, rather it’s more about how to take the client on a journey into their wholeness. When a clinician is listening to the client and nodding their head but at ..read more
