What You Will Do

  • Learn about addiction, treatment, and how people successfully change

  • Assess all your addictions and co-occurring mental health issues
  • Develop a personalized roadmap for your journey out of addiction
  • Engage in interventions that lead you to the life you were meant to live

You Drive the Program

You know yourself better than anyone and have the most to lose by not changing your behavior, which is why you are the best person to lead the charge out of addiction.

At the same time, you shouldn’t have to go it alone, which is why the 5-Actions Program™ was developed. Using the insights and tools from this program, you will overcome addiction on your terms.

To begin any great journey you must take the first step.
