Regional Recovery Program

---

Program Philosophy:

The Regional Recovery Program (RRP) is grounded in the belief that all individuals, including youth and adults with disabilities (including developmental and intellectual, DD/ID), deserve equal access to alcohol/drug use prevention, early intervention, and recovery support services. We embrace a person-centered approach, recognizing the unique strengths, challenges, and aspirations of everyone we serve. Our philosophy is centered on promoting health, well-being, and empowerment, fostering a safe and inclusive environment, and providing culturally sensitive and individualized care using evidenced-based practices founded on Cognitive behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Mindfulness. 

Statement of Purpose:

The purpose of our program is to provide comprehensive substance use prevention, early intervention and recovery support services to youth and adults with disabilities within the Regional Center system. Our aim is to equip individuals with the knowledge, skills, and resources necessary to make informed decisions, cultivate healthy behaviors, and lead fulfilling lives free from the harms of substance use by offering in-home services and utilizing evidence-based practices that are adapted for the unique needs of each consumer. 

Goals of Service:

· Education and Awareness: Increase knowledge and understanding of the risks associated with substance use, including the specific vulnerabilities and challenges faced by individuals with disabilities. 

· Skill Development: Empower individuals with essential life skills, such as decision-making, communication, refusal skills, stress management, and healthy coping strategies, to enhance their ability to navigate social situations without the use of substances.

· Individualized Support: Provide personalized support tailored to the unique needs and preferences of each participant, ensuring their engagement, participation, and overall well-being throughout the program.

· Family and Community Involvement: Foster collaboration and engagement with families, caregivers, and community stakeholders to create a supportive network that reinforces the principles of Regional Recovery.

· Advocacy and Systemic Change: Advocate for policy changes and increased resources that promote access to substance use prevention and recovery services for individuals with disabilities while aiming to address disparities and improve overall outcomes.

· Evaluation and Continuous Improvement: Regularly assess program effectiveness, collect participant feedback, and incorporate evidence-based practices to continually enhance the quality and impact of our services.

By adhering to this program philosophy, carrying out our statement of purpose, and pursuing these goals of service, we aspire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of youth and young adults with disabilities, promoting their overall well-being and supporting their journey towards a healthy and substance-free future.
