The Recovery Resource Center was founded by James Garrett, LCSW in 1998 and is located in Albany, NY.  The Center offers both recovery-related services for individuals and families, as well as, training for professionals.  The Center's recovery-related services focus on the two ends of the recovery spectrum.

First, is the importance of an individual getting past his/her denial and getting started in treatment.  The Center uses the ARISE method of Intervention to mobilize families and concerned others to help the addicted person get started in treatment.  This new method works with families and networks in a manner that treats the addicted person with respect and focuses on a win-win for all participants.  We know that your relationship with the addicted person in your life presents many  challenges.  The ARISE method is respectful of your interest in the long term nature of this relationship, while at the same time helping you get the addicted person started in treatment and/or self-help.  It is not necessary to let an addicted person "hit bottom" in order to start recovery. Find out how more than 500 families have successfully used the ARISE method to get their loved one started in treatment clicking on the ARISE Intervention button. 

Second, is the need to do ongoing personal growth work after the addiction has stabilized. Early recovery work focuses on stopping the use.  Stage 2 recovery work focuses on understanding and changing long-standing destructive patterns of thinking and behavior that often underlie the addiction and may even get worse once the alcohol and/or drug use stops.  The Recovery Resource Center offers Earnie Larsen's Life Management Program to address the core issues that remain present even after the addiction is stabilized. 

Earnie Larsen is a pioneer in the development of this program to address Stage 2 recovery issues.  Earnie Larsen is the author of Stage II Recovery and Stage II Relationships.  To learn more about this exciting 7 week course, click on the Life Management Program button.
