Twelve Stepping with Support from Scripture

Luke 15 v 32 - But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.'”

STEP 3 - Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God .

Until you return to your Heavenly Father you will remain Lost . He loves you and desires for you to leave the lie and live the life is has prepared for you .

9 Stories of 9 Inspiring Dads

This coming Father’s Day, we celebrate the stories of dads.

Hear from a daughter thanking her father for never giving up on her. And from a dad who “feels like the luckiest person on the planet” because of his daughter’s recovery—and his own. Read the reflections of a father of two who is a doctor in recovery from prescription drugs. And from a dad who, after “ten years in hell” with his son, has come to understand that addiction is a family disease.

When a family is struggling with addiction, it can often feel like everything is falling apart. We’re incredibly proud of the fathers who stood by their children and families with compassion and support. And for their willingness to share their stories and offer hope to others.

What are previous attendees and experienced professionals saying about this training?

Listen to the videos and comments below to learn more!

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.

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."
