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.
