Recovery Curriculum
Training Center

Structured substance use disorder recovery curricula, facilitator resources, and professional learning for treatment programs and recovery organizations.

Purpose-built for different levels of care

Effective recovery education requires more than extending or shortening the same group session. Our curriculum development separates the clinical focus, pacing, practice, and application of partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient services, while maintaining a consistent emphasis on individualized treatment goals and practical recovery skills.

Two independent core series. The PHP/HIOP and IOP curricula are organized separately. Related topics can be addressed in both without requiring a combined lesson sequence.

Core curriculum pathways

Each pathway is being organized as its own series, with appropriate teaching sequences and participant materials.

Core series 01

PHP / HIOP Recovery Curriculum

210-minute group sessions designed for the greater time and depth of a partial hospitalization or high-intensity outpatient schedule.

  • Foundations of addiction and change
  • Relapse prevention, emotional regulation, and coping practice
  • Recovery relationships, grief, wellness, and life skills
  • Continuing care planning and transition support

Separate PHP course sequence; topic selection and publication status subject to final review.

Core series 02

IOP Recovery Curriculum

150-minute group sessions focused on applying recovery skills to the demands of daily life, work, family, housing, and community participation.

  • Daily recovery habits and practical goals
  • Triggers, cravings, and relapse-risk decisions
  • Stress management and interpersonal effectiveness
  • Recovery capital, accountability, and sustained progress

Separate IOP course sequence; topic selection and publication status subject to final review.

Supplemental curriculum and specialist tracks

Additional lessons and training packages complement, but do not replace, the appropriate core curriculum.

Character & Integrity

Honesty, assumptions, accountability, and values in recovery, beginning with Truth as Foundation.

Practical Skill Building

Standalone CBT- and DBT-informed sessions, including frustration tolerance and managing everyday irritation.

Experiential Recovery

Structured learning through guided activities, movement, and reflective experiences, with appropriate preparation and safety planning.

Recovery Dragons & ANTs

Facilitator education and expanded cognitive-skill teaching centered on recovery patterns and automatic negative thoughts.

Specialized Electives

Selected subjects such as veteran recovery, digital wellness, cultural responsiveness, and life-stage considerations.

Advanced Professional Training

Specialist subjects such as medication management, trauma processing, and crisis response, offered only within appropriate professional scope.

Some specialist topics require additional clinical credentials, medical consultation, or site-specific safety arrangements. Curriculum materials are not a substitute for professional licensure, supervision, or organizational policy.

Designed for real-world facilitation

Facilitator Guides

Session objectives, instructional material, suggested timing, process questions, and facilitation notes.

Participant Worksheets

Topic-specific practice exercises, personal reflection, and between-session application.

Clinical Documentation Support

Prompts to support individualized documentation, treatment-plan connections, and applicable clinical frameworks.

Materials and course access will be released as each curriculum package completes review. No accreditation, continuing-education credit, or certification is represented unless specifically established for an offering.

Curriculum and facilitator learning

The Recovery Curriculum Training Center is part of Grace and Hope New Life Ministries' broader educational mission. Course listings, enrollment and downloadable resources will connect to the Grace and Hope Learning Center as individual offerings become available.
