At
the Home of New Vision, we believe in using the Recovery Oriented
Systems of Care (ROSC) approach coupled with relational and empowerment
models in our therapeutic services to drug and alcohol addiction. These
models acknowledge that community and peer connections are fundamental
to the growth, recovery, and healing of addiction. At the Home of New
Vision, we encourage the development of mutually supportive and
empathetic bonds with others and the community system. We have found
that this assists in developing a healthier definition of self, autonomy
and competency.
At the Home of New
Vision, we recognize that chemically dependent individuals are not only
faced with the difficulties of recovering from addiction, but that they
must also contend with systemic biases, and oppression related to
gender, ethnicity, economic status, sexual orientation, marital, and
parental status. The ROSC approach not only addresses the importance of
community connections and peers, it also identifies the importance of
systems as it relates to recovery and the stigmitation of
addiction. Over the years, we have found that when these issues are
addressed, there is a correlation with higher self esteem and
self-sufficiency.
