Pura Vida Recovery Services

ission Statement

The mission of Pura Vida Recovery Services is to assist our clients who suffer from alcoholism or addiction by helping them find long-term sobriety, hope, freedom, and a joy for living. Philosophy Statement

At Pura Vida Recovery Services, we believe that commitment to a program of abstinence based recovery is the most effective path towards a life free from drugs and alcohol. We recognize alcoholism and addiction as an illness that requires complete abstinence in conjunction with structured and controlled treatment. We believe that individuals suffering from substance use disorders can find lasting sobriety by combining abstinence with education, 12-step or alternative philosophies with fellowship, accountability with discipline, and eventually freedom from drugs and alcohol with a joy for living. We help our clients achieve these things by providing:

• A structured, accountable, and controlled environment

• Random and frequent drug and alcohol testing as a measure of accountability

• Continuous therapeutic visits with a drug and alcohol counselor to develop a treatment plan that is specific, goal oriented, and time-limited

• Group counseling and therapy sessions which provide education, encouragement, and hope, taking advantage of the benefits of a social approach to understanding.

• An environment where every client’s emotional needs are addressed in a timely manner.

• Counseling and role modeling of life-skills necessary to achieve long-term sobriety.

• Education about interpersonal relationships, engage in conflict resolution, and exercise personal discipline.

• Exposure to community resources for vocational training, continuing education, 12-step based programs, and alternative programs of recovery. We recognize that every individual has varying outlooks, desires, and philosophies on life. We remain open minded to all beliefs and tailor our treatment plans to meet the individual’s needs for the most successful outcome. Pura Vida is a phrase that originated in Costa Rica that embodies the joy of living. A joyous outlook on life, and gratitude for a new life in sobriety, is our freedom from the grip of addiction.
