| Mission Statement |
Sensible Recovery Systems was founded in 1994 in order to promote and provide sensible, proven, accessible and affordable drug/alcohol information, counseling, treatment and recovery alternatives, in a community-based setting. Anyone requesting assistance is served with compassion, devotion and empathy, and sincere regard. Services are provided as quickly as possible, without undue delay, and every effort is made to accommodate special access needs, such as those barriers caused by scheduling conflicts, lack of childcare and/or transportation, financial constraints, and, disability. Discrimination in any form is not tolerated. Absolutely no one is ever turned away, or, denied services due to an inability to pay . |

| Statement of Purpose |
“ We're trying to capture a certain theme - hard work, simpler times, integrity and honesty. Common sense was still a valuable commodity. It is our stated belief, that any endeavor to help those individuals and families affected by the anguish of alcoholism, drug abuse/addiction and related mental/emotional problems (the dually-diagnosed) should adhere to the following precepts: |
|
| 1. |
Counselors should believe in God and be addiction knowledgeable; |
| 2. |
Any staff member who refers to a client as ‘hopeless' should be sanctioned by peers and strongly encouraged to find a new line of work; |
| 3. |
Every known scientific and technological breakthrough should be made available to clients; |
| 4. |
Length of stay (time in a program) should not be determined by the number of approved insurance days or the client's ability to pay, but, by ethical, sound and professional best practices; and, |
| 5. |
Clear distinctions should be made when defining prevention, intervention and treatment and only those qualified to provide these services to clients and their families, should do so. |
|
Anything else just isn't sensible. ”
-Michael L. Wohl
Founder and Executive Director
