Site Map ~ Giving you an idea of what is available...

Hand WavingThe information on this website is divided into three sections: self-help recovery, helping family & friends recover, and a member's section. The first two sections include information and help that is available to all persons, as an on-line resource. We ask that you refrain from trying to print these pages, or from using them without permission.

In our member's section, we include all the information in the first two sections plus much more, and all of the pages are easily printable from the website and as pdfs that can be downloaded and saved. The big benefit of being a member, is that you have our full permission to save, print, photocopy and use any of the pages as long as the copyright information included.

The “Model of Change” developed by James Prochaska and Carlo DiClemente is based on the assumption that the person recovering from drug abuse/addiction passes through several common stages with different characteristics as they go through a recovery process. Ultimately, each person will have to follow their own unique pathway to recovery, and thus stage models of recovery are at best a “descriptive” guide rather than fully “explanatory.”
