Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is the use of medications, in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, to provide a “whole-patient” approach to the treatment of substance use disorders. Research shows that a combination of medication and therapy can successfully treat these disorders, and for some people struggling with addiction, MAT can help sustain recovery.

“Who we spend our time with, where we go, and the things we surround ourselves with all impact who we are and the decisions that we make. Many times, people in early recovery have to give up everything they’ve known… because those people, places, and things put them at risk for relapse or continued use. Early recovery can be painful and isolating. Recovery housing can fill that void with a safe place, compassionate people, and a life full of purpose and fun that doesn’t involve alcohol or drugs.”

Alpha Recovery Homes believes that it is never too late to start a new life. With that being said the owner / operators of Alpha Recovery Homes are both men in long term recovery and also are both certified Peer Recovery Coaches and Mentors in the State of Michigan. We not only bring real life recovery experience from our own personal stories but we also bring state certified training to all our participants. We believe in planting a seed of hope and to be there to guide and encourage.

NARR defines recovery residence as a “sober, safe, and healthy living environment that promotes recovery from alcohol and other drug use and associated problems.” A good recovery residence provides a community-based environment to initiate and sustain recovery – defined as abstinence from alcohol and other non-prescribed drug use, and improvement in one’s physical, mental, spiritual and social wellbeing.

Recovery is a process of change through which people improve their health and wellness, live self-directed lives, and strive to reach their full potential. There are four major dimensions that support recovery:

Health—overcoming or managing one’s disease(s) or symptoms and making informed, healthy choices that support physical and emotional well-being.

Home—having a stable and safe place to live.

Purpose—conducting meaningful daily activities and having the independence, income, and resources to participate in society.

Community—having relationships and social networks that provide support, friendship, love, and hope.

At Alpha Recovery Homes we understand that what might work for us might not work for you, so we strive to keep an open mind to all avenues of recovery and help support and guide you on this life long journey.
