Why Work with Recovery Matters?
1. Individualized Support
Each person’s recovery journey is unique, requiring a personalized approach tailored to their needs, strengths, and circumstances.
2. Holistic Approach
We address the whole person—physical, emotional, mental, and social aspects of well-being—ensuring a comprehensive path to recovery.
3. Empowerment and Self-Direction
Our model encourages individuals to actively participate in their recovery, making decisions and setting personal goals. This fosters autonomy and responsibility.
4. Strength-Based Perspective
We focus on an individual’s strengths and resources, helping them build on what they already have rather than focusing on their deficits.

7. Community Integration
We encourage individuals to engage in social activities and community participation, helping them rebuild their lives and find purpose beyond addiction.
8. Education and Skills Development
Recovery Matters provides education about addiction, life skills training, and coping strategies to support long-term recovery.
Program & Features
Recovery Matters Integrates Multiple Recovery Systems into a Cohesive, Innovative, Long-Term Recovery Program each phase lasting 12 weeks.
Focused Programming Could Last A Year and Beyond.
Recovery Traits:
Dr. Jason Roop’s Traits-Based Model of Recovery
focuses on identifying and activating the inherent strengths and leadership traits found in individuals with substance use disorders. Rather than reinforcing shame-based or defect-centered models, this approach reframes addiction through a lens of potential. Clients learn that the same traits found in effective leaders—resilience, vision, drive—are often present in those navigating addiction.
By starting from strength, individuals can build meaningful Recovery Capital and create a foundation for lasting change. This model empowers participants to recognize their value, take ownership of their growth, and shift from surviving addiction to leading their recovery with purpose.
Recovery Tools:
This program draws from evidence-based recovery frameworks to help individuals understand the deeper dynamics of substance use and lasting change.
Participants explore foundational topics like the Stages of Change, Recovery Capital, and essential life skills—concepts that are often reserved for elite treatment centers but should be common knowledge for anyone on a recovery journey.
By making these tools accessible and practical, we empower individuals to better understand their own patterns, take ownership of their healing, and build a life that supports sustainable recovery.
Recovery Process:
This phase is centered around building emotional sobriety, a critical yet often overlooked component of long-term recovery.
Participants are guided through a compassionate exploration of the emotional roots of addiction, including the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), common defense mechanisms, and the importance of establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries.
By developing the awareness and emotional tools to navigate relationships, triggers, and unresolved pain, individuals begin to stabilize internally—not just behaviorally.
This deeper inner work lays the foundation for the next phase of healing.
It’s strongly recommended that individuals in early recovery complete this phase before beginning The Grief Recovery Method, as it strengthens the emotional resilience and self-awareness needed to process loss, trauma, and unresolved grief with greater clarity and safety.
Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT):
This is a structured, evidence-based group program designed specifically for individuals involved in the justice system—including those in diversion programs, recovery courts, or re-entry pathways.
This phase focuses on strengthening moral reasoning, accountability, and long-term decision-making through a cognitive-behavioral lens.
Participants work through a step-by-step process that encourages self-examination, value alignment, and positive identity development.
MRT is especially impactful for individuals navigating external systems of accountability while trying to rebuild their internal compass.
By promoting honesty, responsibility, and forward-thinking, this program becomes a critical turning point for those ready to shift from survival to personal empowerment—and ultimately to sustained recovery.
