Recovery is not something completed upon leaving a residential level of care program; it is an on-going process of learning and personal growth. Addiction, after all, is a chronic disease. To achieve long-term recovery it is imperative to stay connected. This isn’t about addition. This is about recovery.

Santé offers opportunities to apply recovery skills, give service, develop new habits, deepen recovery knowledge, live out relapse prevention, and heal past and current relationships while making new relationships based on the foundation of recovery. Lifelong Santé alumni programming involves, but is not limited to: personal follow-up support; alumni community app; private Facebook community; road trips; recovery-enhancing experiences; text affirmations; Alumni Advisory Board; Annual Alumni Retreat; service opportunities; entertainment-based outings and monthly alumni newsletter. The goal in long-term recovery, and the support and experiences need to achieve it one day at a time.

Step 9

“Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.”

Knowing When to Speak

Step Nine is about an addict making amends to those they have hurt. It is difficult to know when or how to right our wrongs towards those we love and whether it will benefit or hurt them. It takes discipline and guidance from a sponsor to know when to make these amends, to whom we should make amends, and how much we should disclose when doing so. This step can cause anxiety and stress for many addicts. Those on the receiving end may not be receptive or ready to hear us out. Reaching out to a sponsor or mentor is a must in these situations. It takes courage to open ourselves up to the possibility of hurt or rejection. On the other hand, there is a freedom that comes with making a sincere apology and righting the wrongs that we inflicted during our active addiction.

Removing Threats to Sobriety

Step Nine restores in me a feeling of belonging, not only to the human race but also to the everyday world. First, the Step makes me leave the safety of A.A., so that I may deal with non-A.A. people "out there," on their terms, not mine. It is a frightening but necessary action if I am to get back into life. Second, Step Nine allows me to remove threats to my sobriety by healing past relationships. Step Nine points the way to a more serene sobriety by letting me clear away past wreckage, lest it bring me down. - from the book Daily Reflections

You are mission-inspired and results-driven. You chose your profession and calling for all the right reasons. Your work helps people in their most hidden and painful problems every day.

The importance of your work is underscored by how incredibly hard it is. Any given day might bring massive challenges with your clients or patients. Who else is in it for all the right reasons? Who can you trust to work alongside you, providing evidence-based and trauma-resolution care? Who provides the best opportunity for long-term recovery?

Google provides 350,000,000 results when searching “addiction treatment.” This is an overwhelming number of options that you can ascertain for quality, but can your clients or patients?

They look to you to:

Distinguish clinical experience and expertise from nonessential amenities and impersonal call centers;
Connect them to higher levels of care ready for the increasing complexity of their problems and to discover and begin to heal from the root issues underneath, therefore decreasing the likelihood of relapse;
Recognize other facilities may dress the part but lack integrity.

They look to you. And you look to Santé Center for Healing for expertise, integrity and long-term recovery…for all the right reasons.
