Programs That Work

At Life Recovery Healing, we understand the impact addiction and addiction related issues can have in all major life areas. These programs have been developed over twenty years of providing structured frameworks for healing.

Why Online Learning?

Recognizing that different clients learn differently, seeing the continuing growth in the use of technology, and tremendous acceptance of online learning, we decided to offer structured programs for people who want to do self-directed, work on your own programs.

Not everyone needs or wants therapist guided help on their healing journey. Many people prefer to learn and do exercises at their own pace. This carefully curated selection of programs address some of the most important struggle people are facing today

Do I Have a Problem?

-FREE-

You may be asking yourself “do I have a drinking problem” or “am I an alcoholic?” Maybe your spouse, a friend or your boss has hinted or suggested that they think you are drinking or using too much.

In less than 20 minutes this free course will help you decide if your drinking or drug use is getting to be a problem for you and if you should do something about it.

In this course you can make that decision for yourself by looking at your habits, patterns and how your alcohol or drug use may be affecting your major life areas such as relationships, work, and personal life.

If you have been wondering, or if someone else is, you have nothing to lose. It is free, and 100% confidential.

Substance Abuse Program

-Only $297-

You may be feeling hopeless, out of control and your job, relationships and home life are suffering.

This program is designed for anyone struggling with alcohol, marijuana, illicit drug or prescription drug abuse.

If you are truly serious about getting clean and sober and want to try it on your own without counselling or treatment, you won’t find a better value. This program was designed by someone who has been sober since 2004 and has specialized in helping people with addictions find sobriety since 2007. 

Don’t view this as a cost, view it as an investment in yourself and your future. It is a small amount compared to what your addiction has cost you and will continue to cost you.

The program is divided into 8 Modules, delivered over 8 weeks. This spaced learning approach is designed to help users develop traction in each set of new skills and through the weekly assignments.

This is a principle of brain re-building and neuroplasticity. A new foundation is laid based on repetition of healthy behaviors and newly acquired knowledge and tools.

In spacing the materials out, participants are encouraged to practice their new skills and establish new neural pathways.

Participants watch a video in each module and work through over 60 exercises during the eight-week program. Starting with identifying the nature of substance abuse and the impact it has on all major life areas including career, family and friends, and self, the program focusses on changing behaviors, identifying underling issues, building support networks and developing a sustainable recovery plan.has

Family and Friends Program

-Only $37-

You may be feeling hopeless and alone.

Confused and don’t know what is real anymore.

Have tried everything you can think of and nothing is working.

Maybe you sometimes feel like you are going crazy.

You are tired of lies, broken promises and covering up for them.

Addiction impacts far more people than just the addict. Family, Friends and even Co-workers can find themselves drawn into the disease.

Family and friends spend countless hours worrying about loved ones who are addicts and alcoholics, trying to control their behaviors, track their whereabouts or talking with other employees for support.

Co-workers can find themselves working extra hours and lying for the addict or alcoholic to cover for their behaviors, absences or lack of productivity.

Addicted loved ones can disrupt the workplace with phone calls, text messages, emails and sometimes unannounced visits.

This four-week program is designed to help people who have addicts and alcoholics in their lives, deal with the situation in a healthy manner which minimizes disruption in all areas of their lives including the workplace.

Participants learn how to focus on themselves, minimizing the chaos and how to build a support network.

This program is designed for Family and Friends of Alcoholics or Addicts (including sex addicts) and can be beneficial for co-workers who find themselves being drawn into the chaos of addiction.

Sexual Compulsivity Program

-Only $297-

Sex and Porn Addiction, also known as Compulsive Sexual Behavior, is a growing problem and causes many of the same negative effects that substance abuse does.
These include breakdowns in other major life areas, specifically relationships with spouses and children, loss of productivity, absenteeism and other stressors which can find their way into the workplace.

Research indicates that somewhere between 3.5% and 6% of the population suffer from compulsive sexual behavior. That is the same range as the percentage of people who suffer from addiction to illicit drugs.

Sex addiction, which can also be called “sexual compulsivity,” “hypersexuality,” or “hypersexual disorder,” is a pre-occupation with sex, often involving the obsessive pursuit of sexual encounters (pornography, casual sex, anonymous sex, prostitutes, compulsive masturbation, as examples).

Most often a pattern of urges, fantasies, and behaviors continues for a period of at least six months, or re-occurs after a period of abstinence despite:

  • Attempts made to self-correct the problematic sexual behavior
  • Promises made to self and others to change the sexual behavior
  • Significant, negative life consequences such as relationship instability, emotional chaos, physical health problems, career trouble, and legal issues

This eight-week program is designed for people who either know they are struggling with compulsive sexual behavior or are worried about it. An online, self-assessment is available to help with the decision.

Relapse Prevention Program

-Only $47-

Unfortunately, despite the best of intentions, some addicts and alcoholics relapse after a period of sobriety.

This three-week program helps the alcoholic or addict to understand that relapse is a breakdown in a recovery plan, not some random event and can therefore be prevented.

Combining video and a series of exercises, participants learn how to watch for the changes in thinking and behaviors which lead to relapse.

The program is designed for people who have been in some form of recovery program, whether it is treatment, counselling or 12 Step, and find themselves relapsing.

If there has not been some measure of sobriety after being in a program or counselling, we recommend the Substance Abuse Program to build a foundation.

Living Authentically

-Only $297-

Our families and other early experiences create blueprints which often subconsciously drive our behaviors. Fortunately, those blueprints can be changed. Family of origin issues, dysfunction, self-esteem and trauma can all play a contributing role in addiction and unhealthy relationships. In addition, other behaviors including interpersonal skills and relationship problems can be rooted in upbringing and adverse childhood experiences.

Understanding the connections can dramatically improve a person’s life, health and self-perception.

Codependency, briefly explained is: living in the mistaken belief that your happiness is dependent on external stimuli and being enslaved to behaviors which try to control people and events in order to try to feel happy.

This is a twelve-week program with a combination of exercises and videos to help people find a more rewarding and fulfilling personal life and improved relationships.

Former participants in this program have said: “Everyone should take this program.” And “It is life changing.”

This program is designed for anyone who is looking to go deeper into examining how understanding and owning our story not only affects our relationships but also our health.
