12 Step Recovery Program Indiana | Addiction Recovery Center
Come visit us at evolveindy.com My name is James Sweasy. I'm a co-founder here at Evolve Indy in Indianapolis, Indiana. And we use several different methods in treating addiction recovery, group therapy, individualized therapy, family therapy. Uh, but one of the most important for me is 12-step recovery because, January 11th, 2013, 12-step recovery is what helped me get clean and sober. 12-step is a design for living. It's where we teach how to start your day, live your day, and enjoy your day without using drugs or alcohol. It's a process by which I wake up in the morning and I use prayer, I use meditation, I calm myself, I prepare myself for the day that's coming ahead. I know that things are going to go wrong throughout the day. We say, you don't get ready, you stay ready. And my 12 step recovery program and passing that on to my clients, the design for living is of the utmost importance. So, the reason I like 12-step recovery so much is because there is no chemical out here in the world, no type of medication, no type of detox medication that can teach a person how to change their behavior. Right? Whenever a person goes to detox, whenever they're using detox medications to come off of heroin or alcohol, whatever it may be, I call that symptom removal, right? So I use something to get rid of the symptoms, the cold sweats, the nausea, the sleeplessness, the restless legs. All of that can be addressed in detox. But what are you going to do after detox? This is a lifelong process, no chemical, no pill, no vitamin, anything you take, we'll teach you how to change your behavior. Over a period of many years, I learned how to manipulate. I learned how to justify my behavior, and I have all of these character defects of mine that I have to address to attain long-term sobriety. We do that through teaching a design for living in 12-step recovery. So, if you or someone you love, are struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, using chemicals to change the way you feel and it's causing severe consequences in your life. Send us a message.
