Above and Beyond is a behavioral, outpatient, harm-reduction addiction recovery center which offers the highest level of treatment available anywhere to those without assets or ability to pay. We have coupled our own direct evidence with the overwhelming body of peer-reviewed, published evidence that proves addiction is 70% psychological and, based on our interpretation and effective use of this material, provide relevant behavioral pathways to purpose and meaning, self-acceptance, and goal setting. The uncovering of meaning and purpose displaces existential vacuum and suicidal ideation, which are now rare in our populations. Our staff members have earned Masters Level degrees in Mental Health and our Clinical Protocol, unique in the industry, merges their massive knowledge with REBT, positive psychology, logotherapy, music and art therapies, trauma and transgenerational trauma therapies, street yoga, acupuncture and 20 or so other proprietary curriculums that we offer free of charge to those who need it the most.
