There Is No Monopoly on Recovery: The Many Paths to Success

The ancient Zen poet, Ikkyū Sōjun, once penned that “Many paths lead from the foot of the mountain, but at the peak, we all gaze at the single bright moon.” So what does an enigmatic poem from the 14th Century have to do with recovery? It is to exemplify that there are many roads to recovery, but the end goal of all these roads is to ensure a successful one.

There is no one way to recover. From 12-Step programs to therapy to holistic practices, there are many paths one can take in their recovery journey. The goal is to first choose these paths responsibly, follow them intently, and stay on them diligently.

For those in professional practice, it is critical to understand the variety of recovery options available. Just as no one's addiction journey is the same, neither should their recovery journey be. Next Level Recovery Associates specializes in helping those in the professional sphere. We have the tools, specialists, resources, and connections that can help expand recovery options for those in the professional field.

There Is No One Way to Recover

Many 12-Step programs discuss helping others as their “primary purpose” of recovery. Then so too should it be for those of us in the professional recovery field. Thus, if our primary purpose is to help those suffering, we must go to any length to help them recover. This includes exhausting all recovery options in order to create an effective plan.

For many in the professional medical, therapeutic, or recovery industry, there exists a focus by which they specialize. This only makes clinical sense of course. It is also a reasonable conclusion that this specialization is effective, otherwise, why would they continue this focus? So the goal is never to usurp a primary focus, but rather to expound upon it.

This goes back to the “primary purpose.” There is no “finish line” in recovery. Rather, it is a continued path of growth that ensures long-term recovery, and nothing may ensure this recovery more than utilizing multiple effective treatment tools in tandem.

The Many Roads to Recovery

From 12-Step programs to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to meditation and breathwork, there are countless opportunities to better ensure a successful long-term recovery. Here at Next Level Recovery Associates, we can advise and support a professional practice with the most effective tools and integral support to best help their clients succeed.

Utilizing Case Management

Our case management planning incorporates both the client and the professional to best assess the individual's needs to create and assist in the most appropriate recovery plan. We utilize an individualized approach to best ensure that the professional specialty is supported and elevated. Our primary purpose is to advance their primary purpose of recovery.

Engaging With a Recovery Companion

Here at Next Level Recovery Associates, we offer highly trained specialists that can provide the kind of additional help a professional's clients may need. Whether it is keeping the client engaged with the practice or program, or guiding them in a safe direction when it comes to toxic situations outside of their primary care, our “recovery associates” can help provide the best recovery efficacy.

Potential Intervention Planning

Perhaps the need for an intervention is the best route to take. Whether it involves a client experiencing a relapse or a potential client who first needs help getting to treatment, we are uniquely qualified to help.

Our intervention specialists tirelessly assess a client's situation and follow up by executing a thoughtful and highly effective intervening approach. Whether the intervention concludes directly with the professional's care or an initial trip to detox and/or inpatient care, we have the resources and connections to make this happen.

Employing an Individualized Approach

Whatever the right recovery road may be, we approach each of our client's needs in a considerate and individualized way. The “cookie-cutter, quick-fix" approach is out at Next Level Recovery Associates. We insist on individual assessment, individual planning, individual interaction, and individual execution.

Our working professionals utilize this individualized approach with the client in mind. As previously mentioned, our planning is not meant to upend or replace the professional's initial approach. It is meant to maximize that approach's effectiveness.

Malleability: Adjusting as Needed

The iconic American naturalist and author, Henry David Thoreau once surmised, “As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind.” That is what we aim to do for our clients at Next Level Recovery Associates. We want to bring our expertise to strengthen existing recovery paths or create new ones if needed.

When a client is not improving, reversing course, or continually relapsing it may be time to take a different approach or reinforce existing ones. Malleability is key in the professional recovery industry. We can help ensure that the key fits a client's needs and unlocks their best chances for recovery.

Just as no one has the same addiction journey, no one has the same road to recovery. There are many paths that one can take, and here at Next Level Recovery Associates, we can help you find the right one. We take a truly individualized approach to each of our clients. Whether it be case management planning, recovery coaching or companionship, or intervention assistance, we have the tools and resources to help. No one holds a monopoly on recovery, including us. We will create the right plan that works for you and/or your clients. While there is no one way, there is one goal, and that is recovery.
