The Praxis of Recovery: A New Vision for Success in Addiction Treatment

© 2012 by Alex G. Brumbaugh



Order Now!

This unique book provides a much-needed and comprehensive blueprint for the
transition from an acute to a chronic system of care in the treatment of
addiction and substance use disorders.

The Praxis of Recovery is a new model of long-term success in addiction recovery
identifying six needs-based developmental stages of recovery, a constellation of
sixteen experiential learnings necessary to successful recovery, and the
recommended strategies and interventions most apt to meet the needs and
facilitate the learnings.

With the implementation in January, 2011 of the Wellstone/Domenici Mental Health
Parity and Addiction Equity Act, and the planned inclusion of substance abuse
parity in healthcare reform, there is a critical need for a unified approach to
service delivery in the treatment of addiction. Current treatment in the United
States and other countries is a patchwork reflecting disparate philosophies,
biases, and prisms through which addiction is viewed. The field lacks a defining
center. The Praxis of Recovery© describes what a treatment program would look
like with adequate resources, and with all of the wisdom and common sense and
experience and research of the last seventy-five years.

We live in a time of rapid changes. The financial deficits that have besieged
most state governments are forcing a re-examination of priorities, particularly
when it comes to the untreated addiction in the criminal justice and public
health care systems.

This book is written in the hope that this reappraisal – as well as the
implementation of substance abuse parity in both the public and private
healthcare systems – will result in a “new age” for addiction treatment. Rising
to the enormous potential challenges of this new environment will require a
conversation on the part of policymakers, planners, funders, and providers about
the elements and conditions that are required for long-term success in addiction
recovery. This book will play an important part in moving that conversation
forward.
