Draft:Above and Beyond Family Recovery Center

Above and Beyond Family Recovery Center (ANB) (est 2015 in Chicago, Illinois) is a non-profit mental health treatment center known for inventing and implementing the now global techniques of "Validating the Therapeutic Bond" and "Vestibule" processing, or the practice of "healthy therapeutic embrace." This method uses evidence-based therapy which is vetted, parsed and introduced for the express purpose of substituting behavioral alternatives for compulsions to misuse substances. These therapies result in a graduation rate of 36%, substantially more than those of competing therapies available (clinical results).

The non-profit is also known for creating the therapy known as MINDFULNESS RELAPSE PREVENTION, which is a cognitive-behavioral approach to relapse by preventing high-risk situations, cultivating constant awareness of individual triggers, and habitual reactions. By using discomfort, the group helps patients develop compassionate and nonjudgmental approach towards themselves and their experiences.

Key Processes
The group employs evidence-based groups which are all tied to addiction through research which has been thoroughly vetted, parsed and introduced for the express purpose of substituting behavioral alternatives for compulsions to drink or misuse substances. The treatment programs are constructed to meet each patient where they’re at by a professional counselor with an advanced degree in mental health. These groups can include acupuncture, loneliness, Art therapy, behavioral modifications, and job training for post-discharge success.
