Don’t Quit Five Minutes Before the Miracle: A Guide for Parents of Young Adults in Transitional Living
In many cases, the recovery process begins after a crisis. As parents, we go into survival mode because our primary concern is ensuring the safety of our loved ones. During the initial stages of treatment, we feel immense gratitude simply seeing them out of harm’s way...

How Boundaries Say, “I Love You.”
All relationships follow a set of rules. Most often these rules are implicit, but when we engage with others, there are always expectations about what we can and can’t say or do. For example, we would never show up at our doctor’s home at 10:00p.m. to let them know we...

Opening up about addiction is tough. The system often makes seeking help seem daunting, preventing many from taking that first step.
In this video, Nico Doorn, executive director at Alpha Behavioral Health, discusses the need for early intervention, especially for young individuals and families.
"By integrating recovery elements into their lives sooner, we can aim to provide a more realistic and accessible path to healing. Especially with young folks and families, if we can step in a bit earlier in the addiction journey, we can start turning things around sooner. Imagine weaving recovery into their daily lives, making it a natural part of what they`re already doing. That`s the kind of future we`re working towards, making recovery services more accessible and realistic."
So, how can we make it easier to reach out for help? How can we make it attractive for more people to adopt a recovery lifeystyle?

"When I truly found belonging, it was when I didn`t have to think about who I was. I wasn`t worried about who other people wanted me to be. It`s just something that I do. Instead of trying to act like myself, I just am myself."
Recovery from addiction or mental health struggles, can be one of the most challenging times for a teenager or young adult. Even when they do have all the support they need, it is not an easy process to explore and understand what`s happening within themselves. Making things complex is the fact that recovery process can be different for different people.
In this video, Drew, an Alpha Behavioural Health alumnus who graduated college while at Alpha and also worked with us for some time, talks about what the recovery process meant to him, what he learnt about himself, and how he perceived the challenges that recovery life style brought to him and his community of peers.

Family needs recovery too!
Often as communities, we focus a lot on the individual`s recovery from addiction. But an important part of this journey often gets forgotten - the family!
Reflecting on his experiences as a student in recovery, Drew who graduated college while at Alpha, underlines why families require recovery focus as much as young addicts do.
"Getting to have a structured environment where, the clinician communicates with the family about, this is what your son is doing, this is what you need to be working on, and let us have your own journey, so that you can heal on your own, too, is really important."
