- Adrian, Interventionist Recovery Guides

"The IRI Certified Recovery Specialist, Level 1 Training recently given in Long Beach, California was informative, insightful, creatively delivered, thought provoking and altogether enjoyable. As a viable component of addiction treatment the curriculum focuses on, where have come from historically, challenges our current knowledge and methodologies but, most importantly the direction we are going towards legitimacy and valorization. As a seasoned professional in the field of 15 years, we are long overdue for an ethical industry standard of this caliber to be set and available to those of us with vast experience or newly entering the field. Empowering us to approach this profession with confidence in a continuum of care that would be an asset to any client and or clinical team at any level of treatment. The balance of history, theory, cooperation, definition, practicality, legalities, ethical behaviors and self regulation within this curriculum was seamlessly melded together through our instructors vast experiential knowledge. After completing the Level 1 Training, it is my opinion that anyone interested in, working as, working with or simply understanding the valuable resource of a Recovery Specialist can benefit from the training offered by IRI. With that, a fond thank you for the time, energy and forward thinking required to compile such an educational body of work. Truly I am looking forward to enrolling in the Advanced Levels and Specialties education to come."
- Robert G Wells, Recovery Specialist
Developed by  
Dr. Judith Landau and Nanette Zumwalt, this course has quickly become recognized as a remarkable certificate training for any individual working one-to-one with client's and their families in program settings as well.  
“A MUST HAVE educational course for individuals working, or interested in the work of, 'Recovery Specialist' e.g. Personal Recovery Assistant, Sober Companion, Sober Coach, etc.”
The instruction delivers detailed and specific information so that each participant may acquire the knowledge to further develop his/her individual skill set and understanding of the importance of professional collaboration, ongoing assessment, emergency action, strength based approaches and goal specific, measurable Recovery Planning with clients and their families.
Recovery Specialists provide a foundation for recovery self-efficacy to be created through improving the relapse response (hijacking effect) within the brain through cognitive apprenticeship, modeling, mentoring, ecological momentary intervention, and inspiring, educating and repeated success. Combining this with cutting edge family theory and a focus on healing and recovery of not only the individual but the family as whole is the basis of the IRI training.

ADDICTION FROM GODS PERSPECTIVE

ADDICTION FROM GODS PERSPECTIVE



Romans 7 v 21 v 22 v 23

So I find this law at work : Although I want to do good , evil is right there with me .
For in my inner being I delight in God's Law ; but I see another law at work in me ,
waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me.

RC Joseph Dickerson

we did it together
Together we raised over $27,000 this holiday season!

With your support, we are changing the conversation about addiction and saving lives. While we have accomplished a great deal over the past year, there is much more to be done.

This year we will work to: 
  • Expand our helpline hours to evenings and weekends to provide help and support to more families
  • Introduce an “Ask a Coach” feature where parents can pose questions to our national network of trained parent coaches
  • Launch a new website in the early spring that will be easier to navigate and more responsive to the needs of families
  • Begin to offer a series of webinars for families on topics related to supporting a teen or young adult child with a substance use disorder
Thanks to your generosity, we will be able to ensure more families have answers and work even harder to reduce substance use disorders in our country.

Thank you again for being our champions!


Sincerely,

Hi Joseph,

Happy new year!

My name is Phoebe and I am contacting you on behalf of your addiction blog.

I work on behalf of Port of Call, a company who specialise in helping individuals find appropriate treatment for their addiction. After working with the company for several months, I understand how much support blogs can be for those in active recovery.

We have produced an article outlining what we believe to be the best heroin recovery blogs and yours was one of our favourites. You can view our blog here: http://www.portofcall.com/top-10-heroin-recovery-blogs/.

We have attached a badge to this email which honours you as being one of our top 10 heroin bloggers. All we ask is if you publish this badge on your website, please could you attach it with a link back to www.portofcall.com.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kind Regards,
Phoebe Willan

TWELVE STEPPING WITH STRENGTH FROM THE PSALMS

January 3 CHP 4 v 10 TWELVE STEPPING WITH STRENGTH FROM THE PSALMS


Take hold of my instructions ; don't let them go .Guard them ,for they are the key to life .(GODS BIG BOOK)


STEP 1. We admitted we were powerless over chemical substances —that our lives had become unmanageable .(AA BIG BOOK)


I was not reading the book and there was no one telling me to read the book . KEY TO LIFE !
What other book can or has claimed that . Dare I say , that there are billions of folks around the world that read and use GODS BIG BOOK for daily living. Addiction , love , depression , fear , poor health , redemption , forgiveness , and the list of life's troubles goes on and on and on and on . I can truthfully say GODS BIG BOOK has changed my life for the better . No longer am I the traumatized , angry , fearful , Drug addicted man I used to be ! Because of GODS BIG BOOK ,I am sober , joyful , unafraid , and at peace with myself and my fellow man . Save yourself from life's troubles and fears and start reading GODS BIG BOOK ! "ITS THE KEY TO LIFE " . Pick one up today at your local book store ,for easiest reading and understanding pick up a Life recovery Bible by Tyndale the NLT version it includes the infamous Twelve Steps and over a thousand pages of helpful instructions and guidance. For best results don't purchase the ancient Hebrew , Arabic , or Greek versions too hard to understand ,you already have enough frustrations in your life !


Hebrews 4 : 12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Year End Appeal 2016
Dear Joseph,

Nothing is more overwhelming for a family than having a child who’s struggling with addiction.

Today is your last chance to give and have your contribution create twice the impact for families in need, thanks to our generous board of directors who are matching ALL year-end gifts. With over 7 million kids struggling with a substance use disorder and our nation in the throes of a prescription drug abuse and heroin epidemic, your support is needed now more than ever.

I know just how overwhelming a child’s addiction can be for a parent because I’ve been there. When my son was struggling with substance use, his mother and I were determined to get him the help he needed but we didn’t know where to turn.

This is the gap the Partnership fills everyday by providing life-saving resources for families to tap into, strategies that are evidence-based and an entire network of parent coaches across the nation working to ensure that our loved ones get the guidance and support they need.

Addiction is one of the most challenging and isolating health issues a family can face. With the growing number of young people developing substance use disorders and dying from overdose due to the current opiate crisis, the call for more resources to help families grows louder.

We need your support TODAY. My family was fortunate; my son is in long-term recovery, working as a certified mental health counselor and a great dad. The Partnership’s programs can help more families have hope and find recovery like my son.

Join me now in making a crucial difference this holiday season by making a tax-deductible donation. Your gift will help us continue to be a lifeline for families and ensure all parents are prepared to help their loved one thrive.

Thank you for changing a life today. Have a healthy, happy and safe new year.


Sincerely,
Give Today
