Overview
Recovery Through Respect addresses issues of addiction while developing a recovery program that impacts the whole person-body, mind, and spirit. Recovery Through Respect is intended for Addiction groups, but can also benefit those with personality and behavioral disorders. The "Recovery Through R.E.S.P.E.C.T." program of treatment begins with the elements of recovery represented by the letter "R." Right relationships, Recognition of problems, Road to Recovery, Responsibilities in life, and many more are all discussed in this portion of treatment. The Letter "E" stands for elements of recovery such as: Engaging conversation about the purpose of life, Encountering situations that lead to relapse, Entertainment and how this can trigger cravings are all a part of group interaction during the program. Many times in recovery relapse happens when a person is bored or has down time, this is why the elements of the Letter "S" are examined during the 16 week group. Issues involving daily schedules, sharing of experiences, and involvement in support groups are vital to the recovery process. Next are conversations about the recovery elements beginning with the letter "P." It is during this segment that people and places that the client has had in the past or in the present are re-evaluated to help the client understand boundaries and healthy situations. Other recovery elements beginning with "E" are: Efforts to stay healthy, Effectiveness in treatment, Encouragement of others to remain in recovery, and Enemies of recovery all produce a discussions regarding the necessity of following through with assignments and practicing the tools of recovery. The "C" in Respect, discusses character issues and challenges of healing of the mind and body as well as other costs of a person's addiction. During final sessions the "T" of Respect reviews the change or Transformation of a person's life through a discussion about what has transpired in the client's life during the 16 week program. In order to get the most out of a therapy session, it is recommended to discuss one element from the "R," one element from the "E," one element from the "S," one element from the "P," one element from the "E," one element from the "C," and one element from the "T" listed in the index.
