BRISTOL ALCOHOLISM RECOVERY SERVICE

Twelve Step Recovery Programme

Recovery Dynamics® is a tried and tested non-medical method of treatment for alcoholism and other addictions. At its core is a clear, concise and correctly-sequenced explanation of the original Twelve Step Recovery Programme, uniquely presented in a goal-oriented format that guides each individual to an understanding of The Problem, The Solution and The Plan of Action that leads to recovery.

Using Twelve Step insights, the Recovery Dynamics® programme gives the counsellor an effective method of presenting a recovery experience to individuals in a treatment setting.

Most current addiction projects provide information for the alcoholic by way of ‘harm reduction’, ‘alcohol awareness’ and ‘relapse prevention’ programmes. Recovery Dynamics®, designed to bring about recovery, adds an effective treatment resource to existing projects and complements the work being done in the field.

A few ‘musts’: We are very welcoming to anyone wanting to go through our treatment programme. We believe, however, that a few stipulations are in order. Firstly, clients must suffer from alcoholism and have a minimum of 72 hours without a drink. This is the recognised period for alcohol to have left the system. If other drugs are also involved then the requirement is 14 days without drinking or using. Secondly, clients must commit to the full 12 weeks needed to complete the process. Thirdly, a member of their referring agency – probation officer, counsellor, support worker, doctor and/or mentor – must be in touch with us so that all parties are fully informed of what is expected of the client as he or she goes through the Recovery Experience.
