Our Reason for Being
Next Level Recovery is a 501c3 nonprofit organization positioned to innovate how people with addictive diseases and mental health challenges are supported. We help people to achieve greater resilience, self-efficacy and well-being. We do this through spiritual intelligence education, our virtual support platform, and our training programs.
We are uniquely positioned to do this because Next Level Recovery:
-
Has developed an evidenced-based model of spiritual intelligence focused on breaking the cycle of addictive diseases and addressing underlying factors related to mental health challenges
-
Provides spiritual, not religious, education that can complement or supplement 12-step recovery and that may appeal to those who are looking for non-clinical mental health solutions
​​
-
Operates a member-only virtual platform that hosts education courses, recovery-based media content, and spiritual home groups.
​​
-
Operates "Recover on Purpose," programs that empower participants to construct personal meaning and purpose in all physical and mental experiences, including the capacity to create and master a purposeful life.
Our Model of Spiritual Intelligence
There is compelling evidence that increased spiritual intelligence has a positive impact on important outcomes for people with addictive disease and mental health challenges.
