Mission Statement
Our plan is robust yet simple. Our goal is to save lives. Prana Recovery Centers’ priority is working with addicts & alcoholics on relapse prevention strategies based on our six pillars of wellness. We offer a revolutionary Relapse Prevention Program and related programs for family members and loved ones.
About This Cause
Prana Recovery Centers (PRC) is the direct result of numerous members of the recovery community observing for decades the chronic relapse of alcoholics and addicts and witnessing their rapidly declining quality of life, disruption of family and social connections, deteriorating mental and physical health, including a loss of hope for a better tomorrow. Simultaneously, advances in neuroscience and positive psychology have clearly delineated major new developments for living clean and sober and happily. PRC, founded by Kelly McCausland and Tim McCabe, is for Kathy L., Andrew D., Matt B., and so many others who have died too soon as a result of addiction. Traditional pay-for service and public-subsidized rehabilitation services work hard to meet the demanding needs of people afflicted with addiction. Yet alcohol dependence and drug addiction, including chronic relapse, remain an enormous problem for over 23 million Americans (National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). The National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that relapse rates for drug addiction is 40 to 60 percent (See Chart below) and is similar to other chronic illnesses. The main difference is that other chronic illnesses do not usually affect all aspects of the afflicted person’s life including employment, housing, crime, social and emotional wellbeing, and ability to seek appropriate treatment. Relapse is a devastating problem. We have spoken with scores of people that demonstrate upon leaving the treatment center they are resolute to never drink or drug again. There is a confidence in their voices and a determination in their eyes. Yet, far too often they succumb to the drink or the drug within a short period of time. Here is where this situation becomes extremely dangerous and very life threatening. The addict and/or alcoholic upon leaving treatment has a clean physical body. He or she picks up again after a period of clean time and the body cannot take it. Death stands at the door knocking. Relapse is lethal in other respects too. The mental torture and emotional hopelessness of being right back to where they just spent weeks or months learning how to avoid is excruciating. The shame is crippling and the remorse suffocates any sliver of hope for living clean and sober. Eventually, isolation seeps in. The lone wolf is paramount and the disease takes a vicious and relentless grip. Prana Recovery Centers is devoted to providing a revolutionary relapse prevention program that integrates contemporary science with traditional wisdom. We are here to help those who have suffered this relapse cycle. Prana Recovery Centers approaches the problem of alcohol and drug dependency with a fresh perspective, backed by scientific research, combined with ancient wisdom, and focused on relapse prevention. Our major services are framed within the context of the three R’s – rewiring, resiliency, and recovery: Rewiring: Neuroscience research has consistently shown that the use of Mindfulness can rewire one’s brain for wellness. Our goal is to have the PRC learning labs (eventually) provide EEG brain scanning and state of the art signal processing so each participant will have immediate real-time neuro-feedback tracking the progress of rewiring for positive wellbeing. More on Rewiring Resiliency: The ability to bounce back from the inevitable low spots of living is achievable through specific habits of mind, body & spirit. At PRC, Prana Recovery Centers participants practice activities and exercises that create sustainable skills for staying clean and sober through the ups & downs of life. Recovery: The 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous have been aiding in relapse prevention since the early 1930’s. We use the specific, clear-cut instructions of the first one hundred and three (103) pages of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. The text book outlines the practical applicant and spiritual approach so there is a tremendous defense against ever finding it necessary to pick up a drink or a drug again. The Six Pillars of Wellness form the foundation of the PRC Relapse Prevention Program and are structured to provide participants of our programs with concrete skills that broaden and build optimistic possibilities for living drug free. Each participant, at the end of his or her treatment, will have learned and developed habits of mind and practice in: Mindfulness Science of Happiness 12 steps AA Yoga Exercise Nutrition These six pillars are learned, experienced, and lived at the discretion of the participant. PRC is looking for fit and match. We recognize that one or more pillars may resonate with some over others. Being a part of the greater good, being of maximum meaningful service to others, and having immense social capital – meaningful connection with others – are woven through the six pillars of wellness and ultimately are the testament of the PRC way of life.
