The Unfolding Map: Navigating Recovery's Terrain with STAND, Inc. Peer Support
T here's no single, pre-drawn route, but rather a vast, evolving landscape. At STAND, Inc., we understand that journey requires not just clinical expertise, but also the invaluable compass of shared experience. Our Addictive Disease Peer Support Program provides the essential map, offering individuals a chance to connect, learn, and empower one another as they navigate their own unique routes to lasting recovery. This program is more than just a support group; it's a vibrant ecosystem where men and women come together in a structured environment to cultivate the essential skills and perspectives needed to flourish in recovery. From the moment an individual enters the program, they are introduced to the fundamental truth that recovery is not a monolithic destination but a multitude of possible pathways. Each person, with their distinct background, experiences, and aspirations, crafts their own map, charting their course with self-awareness, resilience, and hope. The program's structured activities are designed to nurture key aspects of personal growth and recovery. We focus on these pillars: Self-Advocacy: We help individuals discover and hone their voices, enabling them to advocate for their needs and desires, both within the recovery community and in their lives beyond. Relationship Enhancement: Recognizing that connection is crucial, we cultivate skills to build and maintain healthy, supportive relationships with family, friends, and others. Self-Awareness and Values: Through introspection and guided exploration, individuals delve deeper into their
values, understanding what truly matters and how to live in alignment with their principles. Self-Directed Care: We empower individuals to take ownership of their recovery, fostering self-reliance and the ability to make informed decisions about their well-being. A cornerstone of our approach is the principle of recovery- oriented support. We strive to assist and foster self-advocacy and self-awareness by encouraging individuals to initiate and lead group activities. This active involvement not only enriches the program but also promotes a sense of ownership and leadership within each participant. Each individual identifies and sets their own personal goals for recovery. This autonomy is paramount because it acknowledges that the recovery process is deeply personal. Our trained peer supporters serve as guides and companions, providing encouragement, guidance, and practical tools along the way. Supportive interactions are facilitated by the utilization of the following: Motivational Interviewing: Our team uses these strategies to help individuals explore their values, identify their motivations for change, and build their confidence. Recovery Planning: We collaborate with individuals to craft personalized plans that outline their recovery goals, strategies, and support systems. Resource Utilization: Peer supporters help individuals identify and access crucial resources, such as treatment programs, support groups, and community services. Strengths Identification and Development: The program focuses on identifying and leveraging individual strengths, which provides a foundation for building self-esteem and resilience.
