We believe in compassionate harm reduction tools for people, no matter where they are in the change continuum.

Why do we need a new Paradigm for recovery?… because what we have isn’t working.

Because you can’t hate yourself into healing.

What happens when the dominant model doesn’t fit the complexity of your healing?

Because staying well is more than staying clean.

Not sobriety. Not perfection. Not performance.
The goal is system coherence. The goal is wholeness.

Not where we wish they were. Not where we think they should be. But right here, right now, in their real, messy, human moment.

Non-abstinence-based recovery challenges one of the most deeply held assumptions in the recovery world: that healing only “counts” if you quit completely. That if you’re still using—at all, in any amount—you’re still sick, still in denial, still failing.

But what if that’s not true?
