Initial Intake: Comprehension Assessment and Q&A Interviewing. Two Indiviudal Interviewing Sessions within a two-week span (14 consecutive days). These online conferences act as consultations, screenings, and informing you of what to expect from your ARMOR Program. It is also an opportunity for asking questions and expressing concerns, prior to acceptance into a Twelve-week session. An informed decision prior to enrollment is in your best interest! Goodness-of-fit is evaluated and determined via our biopsychosocial approach and your insightful contributions; this is in everyone’s best interest. Upon completion of your intake evaluation, you'll recieve a synopsis of things to consider from our ARMOR perspective.  

Please note: ARMOR is an applied learning program. For clinical and/or medical support, advice, or guidance visit our resources page and review potential options of how you may wish to navigate the murky waters of addiction remission.

    Modification potential: Can you, do it? How ready are you for change?

    Indicators of severity: are institutional considerations in order, is a change of environment a good idea,  maybe rearrage current surroundings?  

    Intensity of participation: Shall you invest x hours per day, adhere to daily check-ins, or may breif weekly sessions suffice?

    Comprehension of addiction disorders: what is your level of understanding, where might some research and development benefit you most?      

Phase I: Twelve-Week Early-Remission > Applied Learning. Modifying lifestyles takes time and energy. Practicing various behaviors and cognitive exercises are key to successful outcomes. Two to three months of daily practice, research indicates, is an approximate timeframe for ingraining new habits and/or extinguish old ones. Get more details during your Two-week Motivational Interviewing Session.

Phase II: Six Month Intermediate Remission > Cognitive Training. As addiction disorders subside, distracted thinking processes do too. The mind has freedom to explore new ways of looking at things, important things that challenge achieving sustained remission. Learn more during your Twelve-week Early Remission Session.

Phase III: Sustained Remission > This is where we insert some sort of accountability that keeps us out of the weeds. 

Active addictions may sometimes require a residential protocol with medical supervision and/or medication assisted treatment. This is especially true with Severe Alcohol Use Disorder. That is someting you'll have to decide for yourself. Let us help you make an informed decision. We've had many cases that were able to attain sustainable remission by simply attending self-help groups regularly. Concerns of this regard can be addressed during a consultation session or at one of our Evening Sessions and keep in mind, it is difficult to assist until we've established a decent profile of your circumstance and goals.
