What makes the Integrated Recovery approach unique, relative to other holistic and integrative approaches to recovery, is that it implements the revolutionary ideas of the Integral model, developed by the American philosopher Ken Wilber. The word "integral" means comprehensive, inclusive, and non-marginalizing. The Integral model, or Integral Theory, attempts exactly that: to include as many perspectives and methodologies as possible within a coherent view of any topic. The Integral model is capable of helping to design a "recovery worldview" that allows a truly holistic approach to recovery and its practices.
This book is dedicated to showing you how to design, plan, and execute your own personalized Integrated Recovery Program - which can be defined as mindfully practicing your physical, psychological, intellectual, existential, social, and environmental dimensions as part of an Integrated Recovery Lifestyle, that is geared towards continued personal growth in relation to self, others, and our being-in-the-world. We are all unique; therefore our recovery paths will also be unique. One size recovery does not fit all. This book will help you find a recovery program that is best suited to your unique needs.
Chapters one and two explore the core influences and philosophies that inspire the Integrated Recovery approach, providing brief overviews of Integral Theory, mindfulness, positive psychology, existentialism, and 12-step philosophy. In the remaining chapters, which cover the practical application of the Integrated Recovery approach, I introduce the various practices, in each of the six recovery dimensions (physical, psychological, intellectual, existential, social, and environmental), that form part of an Integrated Recovery Lifestyle, and explain how all of these practices work together synergistically. The chapters on the recovery dimensions end with suggestions and written exercises that will assist you in designing your recovery practices for that recovery dimension. Chapter nine will assist you in putting together your own personalized Integrated Recovery Program.
