At Brass Tacks Recovery our responsibility is to help the family navigate the treatment industry. Our intention is to alleviate the emotional stress that comes from dealing with the recovery process. Our goal is to support the family and client through every stage, from pre-intervention, through treatment, and on to aftercare. We help the client plan, acclimate and integrate into a recovery based lifestyle. We can also begin to support the family at any time, providing referral placement or any of the full range of services and options available.

Brass Tacks Recovery addresses the core infrastructure of the family model. We believe that we can bring about a dynamic shift in the values and belief systems of our clients. In doing so we can guide them on the path to a lifestyle that supports recovery and personal growth. We work side by side with the family and the client to address needs that may not otherwise be realized. We educate and engage the family and the client at this level to help them create stronger boundaries which allows vulnerability to develop the tools to withstand the real life triggers that lead to relapse.

OUR MISSION

Brass Tacks Recoveryis a group of skilled and dedicated professionals who focus their lives on helping others address, heal, and recover from alcoholism, addiction and mental health issues. (please make sure the grammar between the words above are commas and periods exactly this way, for they are showing as periods only in the attachment below). Our primary goal is to help clients and their families experience the empowerment of a healthy and recovery-integrated life. (no hyphen in empowerment. Please do not break up the word, you can move it to the next line if needed. Please however, leave the hyphen between the words recovery-integrated for proper connection).
