Inside the resource

Practical pages built for real moments.

Addiction counsellors, peer workers, support workers, students, and facilitators who need practical group structure without relying on employer-owned materials.

Twenty-four original groups

Cravings, coping, motivation, shame, boundaries, grief, anger, identity, transitions, resources, values, recovery myths, communication, and more.

Full facilitation plans

Purpose, materials, opening language, step-by-step activities, timing, questions, and closing.

Adaptations

Options for one participant, low energy, cognitive load, literacy, language, and shorter sessions.

Safety and scope

Choice-based participation, triggering-detail boundaries, follow-up pathways, and escalation reminders.

Participant handouts

A reproducible reflection and action page for every group.

Facilitator tools

Preparation, reflection, scenario-building, opening and closing, and group-series planning pages.

Evidence and transparency

Useful claims, carefully stated.

Authoritative foundations

Methods are connected to relevant SAMHSA, NIDA, WHO, Health Canada, and primary research sources inside the PDF.

Original exercises

The worksheets translate established recovery principles into practical reflection and planning. The full workbook itself has not been tested as a clinical intervention.

Measure personal fit

Readers are prompted to notice what changed, then keep, adapt, combine, replace, or bring a strategy into appropriate care.

No inflated promises

No worksheet can guarantee abstinence, prevent every crisis, or replace medical, psychological, or substance-use treatment.

Use and scope

Clear, optional, and recovery-supportive.

Use at your own pace

Readers can pause, skip questions, or complete pages with a trusted support. No disclosure is required.

Bring it into care

Use completed pages to organize questions or discuss patterns with an appropriate counsellor, peer worker, prescriber, or treatment team.

Know when to escalate

The resource repeatedly directs urgent medical, overdose, suicide, and immediate safety concerns to professional, crisis, or emergency help.

No outcome promises

The workbook supports reflection and planning. It does not diagnose, treat, replace care, or guarantee abstinence or safety.

Licence and delivery

What your purchase permits.

Single-facilitator professional-use licence. One purchaser may print participant handouts for groups or clients they personally facilitate. Organization-wide sharing requires another licence.

Questions

Before purchasing.

Is this therapy or medical advice?

No. It is general education and structured reflection. It is not a diagnosis, treatment plan, medical direction, emergency service, or replacement for professional care.

Can I print it?

Yes. The PDF is designed for US Letter paper and can also be completed digitally using a PDF annotation app.

Can I share the file?

No. The licence follows the purchaser. The facilitator toolkit includes limited permission to print participant handouts for the purchaser's own direct groups or clients.

What happens if I am in crisis?

Do not wait for a worksheet. Call 911 for immediate danger or a medical emergency. In Canada, call or text 988 for suicide crisis support.
