Addiction and Parenthood

A father looks at his new child.

For any individual, addiction is a trying challenge in life; one that has the potential to shake a person to their core. This is not only true of the individual who is addiction, however, but also the families of addicts who love and care for them. Of all of these familial relationships, though, the most complicated and difficult might be the one that addicts have with their children. Parenthood is an incredible responsibility that gives many people a higher purpose in their lives. However, addiction can complicate this paternal bond, as addiction is a disease that has the potential to rewire the very brain processes responsible for our behavior. Here’s some more information about the corrupt connection between addiction and parenthood...

The Modern Meth Situation

A teenager buys pills of Vyvanse.

While methamphetamines have been the subject of hip and prestigious television shows like Breaking Bad, there has been a real and growing meth problem that has continued to escalate around the country, despite people being more educated than ever about the dangers of meth. This modern meth situation is a two pronged attack on our way of life: one from the black markets and illegal producers who continue to flood rural areas with crystal meth, and one from the legal pharmaceutical companies who are filling our schools with dangerous drugs like Adderall. Either way, there is a complicated meth problem in modern America, and one that must be addressed. Here is a lowdown on the modern meth situation...

Shame and Addiction

A depressed young man eyes a bottle of whiskey

There is a strong tendency in society to shame behavior that we deem inappropriate, or bad for communities. Indeed, the idea of shame is a big piece of the penal system and why it is the way it is. However, the aspect of shame seems to be very prevalent in the world of addiction, as though the use of shame will help enable addicts to see their mistakes and grow beyond them. Is this a reasonable response, though? And is shame a tool that should continue to be used when dealing with people who struggle with addiction? Here is some information on shame and addiction...

Helping a Loved One Prevent Relapse

A young man in a hoodie looks at a needle on a black table, tortured by his addiction.

Watching a loved one struggle with addiction can be an absolutely trying experience. Seeing someone that you care so much about feel their lives slip beyond what they can control on their own is an experience that few people can understand until they've seen it happen. However, these times in life are not the times to wallow in despair. Instead, realize that this is the time in life where this person that you love needs you now more than ever. In order to end the epidemic of addiction, we must all do our part in helping the people we care about in the recovery process, and that means doing whatever we can to prevent a relapse. Here is some information on how to do just that...

Addiction and Risk Taking Behavior

A man in a hoodie stands in a gray area covered in rain.

There are many complicated nuances that go into the study of human behavior, and particularly what drives people to head down a path of addiction that is difficult to reverse. However, researchers are working a lot harder to discover some of the traits that might be driving the rises in addiction that we are seeing in our culture. Perhaps, along with the socioeconomic factors that are behind it, there is a psychological foundation that has caused this to be so. One such way that researchers have begun to look into, as far as addiction goes, is whether or not personalities that are perceived as risk-takers are more susceptible to getting wrapped up in addiction than people who are not. Here is how this phenomenon has had an effect...

Healthy Ways to Raise Your Dopamine Level

The chemical formula for dopamine written on a chalk board.

One important thing to remember about the dangers of drug use is that they make you feel really, really good. Sometimes people forget about this fact, and it makes it harder to empathize and understand exactly what it is that an addict is going through. The reason, though, that drugs are able to make people feel so euphoric, and thus develop stronger and stronger addictions is because it causes the brain to artificially create more dopamine. This is especially true of incredibly horrific substances like heroin or methamphetamines, which cause the most ‘good feelings’ out of any street drugs. This makes it important for recovering addicts to understand how a healthy lifestyle can increase dopamine levels, without all of the struggle and horror of substance abuse. Here are some healthy ways to raise your dopamine level...

The Challenges of Sex Addiction

A man in a white t shirt sits in front of his laptop in shame.

There are many different types of addiction that persist in the human experience. However, one type of addiction that rarely gets talked about enough is sex addiction. Unlike substance abuse, sex addiction isn’t necessarily about being addicted to a type of behavior. Instead, there are usually a large amount of underlying factors, such as anxiety, depression, self doubt, and extreme stress. Sex is simply the way that a sex addict chooses to try to wash away these problems that should be dealt with head on. From there, the addiction continues to persist. Here are some of the major challenges of sex addiction, today...

Benefits of Treatment vs. Criminalization

A black and white picture of a dimly lit jail cell from outside of the bars.

The social view of addiction has certainly been dramatically transformed over the past decade, and it really has been for the better. Today, in our public forums and legislation, the big topic of conversation has been whether we should approach addiction with the mindset of treatment or criminalization. Certain people have an outdated notion that criminalization will reduce the amount of drug abuse that exists in the United States. However, the effect that criminalization policies of the 80s and 90s had has done little to curb rising addiction rates. Here are several reasons why taking a path of treatment, instead, will be a far more profitable and humanistic route than criminalization...

Addictive Habits Society Tolerates

An assortment of colorful credit cards sits on a black surface.

While most types of addiction we hear about have to do with substance abuse, there is actually an entire world full of all sorts of addictive habits that are deemed (mostly) acceptable by society. Some of these addictive traits are pretty harmless, while others can actually affect your life closer to the way that substance abuse might do, although probably not quite that much. The tolerance of much of these addictive habits will probably have to do with the people around the person who exhibits these habits, but they still remain with far less stigma. Here are some of these tolerable addictive habits...

What Our Clients are Saying

As a wife, watching someone you love struggle with alcoholism , it can be heart breaking. There were days filled with fear, uncertainty, and sadness.Today, because of Renaissance Recovery and most importantly my husbands hard work , I can honestly say my husband is a new man.My husband completed the 90-day Intensive Outpatient Program and continued with nine months of aftercare. The man standing beside me today is not the same man who walked through those doors. He is present, compassionate, accountable, and full of hope. Our marriage has been restored, our family has been healed, and we are building a future together .There simply aren't enough words to thank Steve and the entire staff. They saw something in my husband that he couldn't see in himself. They loved him, challenged him, encouraged him, and never gave up on him. Their support extended beyond recovery—it gave our family a second chance.I am forever grateful that my husband chose Renaissance Recovery and that God placed these incredible people in our lives at exactly the right time.Steve and staff always made themselves available for not just my husband but also for myself.If your family is feeling hopeless, please know that healing is possible.

Steve is an incredible addiction counselor. He is straightforward, genuine, and truly cares about each and every family he works with — and it shows. From his thoughtful and timely outreach, to the daily positive quotes he shares, to the family group forums he hosts for loved ones of those living with addiction, every interaction is intentional and supportive.The forums have been especially meaningful. They helped us understand what to expect, how not to internalize behaviors related to addiction, and how to better navigate the challenges that come with it. His guidance brings clarity during an incredibly confusing and emotional time.Steve is truly a blessing to anyone who has the opportunity to meet and work with him. I am deeply grateful for everything he has done for us.

Renaissance Recovery is one of those places that that you will never forget. To call it special, or helpful would be the understatement of the decade. The director of RCC is named Steve, but it really should be Life Saver. I do not say this lightly. Not only did Steve help save my actual life, but my family life as well. I have heard countless testimonies of him doing so for hundreds if not thousands of others. Steve is one of those guys that is absurdly passionate and loves what he does. He also treats you with the utmost respect and is brutally honest. As a matter of fact, the entire staff at RCC handles themselves in this manner. At RCC I was able to not only work on myself, but I was able to work towards finding the root cause of my issues and dealing with them head on. I would HIGHLY recommend RCC to anyone that is struggling and needs help. If you are willing to put in the work, RCC is the best place around.

If you want a place that sincerely is there for you, and is there to help better your life and you're willing to do whatever it takes to keep your sobriety, this is the right place for you. The staff is amazing. Their focus is their clients and how they can help. You also create lifelong relationships with other people that know exactly how you feel and you know how they feel. I truly don't know where I would be if I hadn't gone to Renaissance Recovery Center. They have helped me stay sober and have helped me create a healthy lifestyle and create a social network to keep my sobriety. An environment that's all about helping and never about how much money they can make. I have the utmost respect and appreciation for them. If you need help or a family member or a friend needs help reach out to them because they truly care!!!!!

Steve was the exact guide we needed. In a situation where you have no idea what to do, he was able to understand sympathetically and offer guidance—and hope! As a family member getting my loved one into treatment was the hardest and Steve always knew when to call me and offer support (and I also felt this helped hold me accountable to my responsibility to my loved one). My loved one completed his program and the change in our life is night and day. A light in the dark! There couldn’t be a holier work. I only have gratitude.

Renaissance Recovery was a godsend to our family in a time of crisis. Their compassion, dedication, and deep knowledge of addiction and recovery was evident in every aspect of the program that was a salvation to my family member. Their intensive group program and individual counseling elicited honesty and dealt with past trauma, to give my family member the tools and insight and solid footing on their path to recovery.The openess and compassion of the family group meetings and invitation to participate in counseling sessions as desired kept me involved, hopeful, and supported as I healed in my recovery. Their dedication to after care and commitment to be there for clients and family to support any future recovery needs is a great comfort as we move forward in our lives.The Renaissance strong legacy of hope and recovery is evident in their program graduation ceremonies and alumni AA meetings, and open door to family members of past clients.We are filled with gratitude to be in this circle of hope and recovery created by Steve, Lindsey and the Renaissance team.

As the spouse of someone who has been in long-term recovery for 11 years, thanks to Renaissance Recovery Center, I can't recommend this program enough. While my partner was battling addiction, I felt lost and unsure how to best support them.That's when I discovered Renaissance Recovery Center's friends and family program. For 18 months, I learned invaluable tools and gained a deeper understanding of co-dependency and how to navigate the complexities of addiction recovery. It wasn't just about supporting my partner; it was also a journey of self-discovery. Steve, the program leader, is an absolute gift. His expertise and genuine compassion create a safe space for growth. He masterfully guides families through the recovery process, not just focusing on the addict but on the entire support system.This program transformed my life. I learned how to set healthy boundaries, prioritize my own well-being, and ultimately, become a happier person. Today, I am eternally grateful for the positive impact Renaissance Recovery Center has had on both our lives.If you're seeking a spiritual and holistic approach to addiction recovery for yourself or a loved one, look no further than Renaissance Recovery Center. It's a life-changing experience.

The work being done at RRC is life changing. I was NOT a fan at first. Went there kicking and screaming. After a little bit Steve and his staff's teachings really started to reach my heart and those dark places in my mind. While I cannot say I was a star student, now, several years removed, I am still recounting some of the teachings and tools I learned there at RRC. I am sober and my relationships, job and life are better than ever. Steve you were and remain a blessing to me and my family.

This place helped save my family member. That family member has tried close to a dozen other places for over a decade with minimal success. The staff here helped create a community they could connect with and a structure to do the actual work of recovery. It allowed them to dive into the recovery process in safe but effective way, not judging, and leaving NO room for excuses.Update on my family member, a little over one year after entering the program they are now over one year sober, thriving in their career, in a stable relationship, and have grown in multiple ways. The road to recovery is life long, but they are on a solid path forward. My family will forever be in the debt to the good people at Renaissance Recovery Center.

The program at Renaissance is amazing. Steve Brown and his staff care for and support not only the recovering addict but the family as well. The family group that is offered to family members throughout the program makes such a difference. We don't have the family and life we have today without the help of Renaissance. I can't recommend this program enough.

Renaissance is everything and more when it came to my recovery. Steve, Dan, Nils, Chad & Lindsay are the real deal. They care about you, they care about your well being, they care about you untangling and un-rooting what causes us to use.I was a highly functioning alcoholic for the better part of 20+ years and through their guidance I was able to dig deep, self reflect through their teachings to understand that I didn’t have to hold onto my personal shame, turmoil, anger, anxiety and every negative adjective that describes what we go through as addicts and was able to work through and release that pain so I didn’t keep running back to the bottle. They saved my life and I mean that literally. I had the pleasure of making some great friendships and create a brotherhood with some of the men I was in recovery in as well and we are active in our community still and it all stemmed from Renaissance.Thank you Steve for everything. Phenomenal leader who leads with love (but not weak) and truly cares about you and helping you lift every burden that we’ve carried for all those years. I’m forever grateful.

Renaissance Recovery saved my life. I was at a point in life where alcohol to my body was as essential as air, and I couldn't stop. I was powerless over alcohol. My body was failing and my relationships with family, friends, and coworkers was crumbling. Out of desperation for help, I found Renaissance Recovery with an online search and decided to just make a call. I felt like it was my last call for help at that point. I was immediately greeted with love and compassion with an urgency to help me. Throughout my recovery at Renaissance Recovery I learned how to change my life. At 43 years old, my life now is completely different to how I lived before. I've learned how to be open and honest, how to build and maintain meaningful relationships, to find gratitude and joy in every moment of life, and how to fill my life with happiness. A lifelong weight was released from my shoulders when I finally got to the point in the recovery process of accepting that I was powerless over alcohol and understanding and doing what was needed to live a happy life while maintain sobriety. The program at Renaissance Recovery works! You just need to be willing to do the work they outline for you and be willing to participate. It's a miracle what they've put together here. It not only saved my life, but the lives of my children, not having to grow up with an alcoholic father. I am 641 days sober today and this is the happiest I've ever been in 43 years. My health is good now and my home is full of love and stability. I literally owe my life to Renaissance Recovery, that is how impactful they have been to my life. If you are struggling with a drug or alcohol addiction, this program is THE solution to help you get your life back. The people at Renaissance Recovery are my family now, I have developed life-long friendships from there, that is how connected you become through the program. Thank you Renaissance Recovery!!!

Going to Reinassance Recovery was the best decision I made for my recovery. From the first call I made to Steve to my aftercare graduation, Reinassance Recovery has been a foundation to my life today. I met a group of women in the IOP program who have become my best friends today. The accountability and support I found in there, was really what changed and saved my life. The therapists are great and we're always available when I needed anything, whether it be a letter for court or just someone to talk to. Reinassance Recovery will always be home away from home for me. Forever grateful for this program and their staff.

I did not think that I was worth anything more and I had no hope. The second time I encountered Renaissance Recovery, I stayed and completed the program!

I will attempt to describe in words what Renaissance has meant for me in my life. People that truly care about you as a person and about your recovery. The ability to connect and uncover the real pain that may have led you astray in life. If you’re struggling with substance abuse, I would recommend a place that can start you on the path to true freedom and inner peace, that place is Renaissance! The level of care provided is life changing. If you’re in a tough place, looking for a way to dig yourself out, look for a place with the people who not only have the expertise in the field but who you can call family

Just over six months ago, I realize that my life was a complete mess. Being chemical dependent and carrying so much shame and guilt. It caused so many issues in my life. I tried doing it on my own so many different times I couldn’t even count. It greatly affected my family life, my marriage, my work life and was damaging myself and loved ones around me. I searched a couple other IOP‘s and actually attended one out in Mesa, I’ll keep them disclosed, but I can’t share my experience there. It seemed as if I was just another number there.My mother had done some research though on Renaissance and told me to reach out to them so I set up an appointment and came in and met with Stephanie. From immediately walking in the front door through intake process I felt that I had found the right place already. She was so kind and comfortable to talk to and was confident that I could get the help that I needed there. She was so right. I started group the next week and boy was I in for. A wonderful experience! Steve and Dan ran groups in such a different way than I’ve ever experienced, and truly showed their passion and care For their clients here! I was able to also get therapy through Lindsey there who was amazing and helping me deal with all my buried shame and guilt so that I could be free of the chains that kept me tied to my chemical dependency. They also offered on weekends. Back to basics a 12 step program which I took and was able to get through the steps in five weeks to find freedom. Dan and Steve are trust worthy people that I am so grateful to have found and I can’t leave out Mills who help me stay accountable with drug screenings. I can truly say that these people are my forever family. I know their recovery and how to walk people through difficult times in their life to find freedom from their hurts habits and hang ups in life. Much love, Graham.

This place saved my life. I completed a 3 month outpatient program at Renaissance after a 6 year meth addiction. This was my first rehab experience. Steve, Dan and the other amazing staff created an environment that allowed me to be honest and expose my truth (for the first time in my life) allowing us to get to the root of my trauma and then carefully have been helping me rebuild a new life of sobriety. The program doesn’t end after your outpatient program is complete, they continue to provide support through meetings and events. My gratitude runs deep and I love these people.

These folks seriously do the lords work. I've been to a few treatment places, and none made me actually convinced that the staff cared about me the way Rennisance did. They helped me stay safe, they are there any time you need to call, the facility is open and designed to just use as a hang out spot outside of sessions. Pool table and everything! I learned most of my strongest recovery tools here. I've got 11 months and some change of sobriety now, and I owe so much of that to Rennisance.

He is incredibly generous with his time and truly is in this work to heal and help those struggling with addiction. Is a heaven sent that we found him and the resources offered at renascence ranch AZ.

I would highly recommend this program to anyone needing help with substance use challenges. Renaissance is caring, compassionate, and committed to providing the highest level of treatment. The team is experienced and uniquely skilled. They will always put the needs of each person first. If I need to make a referral in the Phoenix area, Renaissance is at the top of my list.
