Substance use disorders claim the lives of 585,000 each year.
That’s:
- Like the entire city of Manchester being wiped out (annually)
- The equivalent of four Hiroshima atomic bombs
- One hundred-and-ninety-five September 11 attacks.
And these are just the fatalities.
This number doesn’t include the 35 million the World Health Organisation estimates to be currently suffering with a substance use disorder.
Although these figures are disturbing…
The most unsettling thing about them is that they only represent a tiny fraction of the total addicted population.
In recent years, there has been a growing consensus within the scientific community that the same psychological processes underlie behavioural addictions [1], with one Stanford researcher going as far as to say:
Which is leading many to now call for an expanded understanding of addiction…
One that goes beyond substances and integrates behavioural addictions too.
The reality is that addiction comes in many forms, such as:
Overeating → Sex → Internet → Workaholism → Gambling
Social Media ← Gaming ← Shopping ← Exercise ←
As a mental health professional, the problem is now so widespread that you can no longer afford not to be addiction-informed.
Because whatever you’re treating…
You can be certain there’s an addiction (in some form) in the room with you — although it might not always be the presenting issue.
And when it’s not addressed, it has the potential to derail therapy altogether.
This is why on this page we’ve integrated the latest insights from the world’s leading addiction experts at the cutting edge of evidence-based treatment and research.
What follows is an invitation to see how this revolutionary treatment model can help you heal addiction at its core and facilitate deep and lasting recovery for your clients.
40-60% Relapse Rates: The Results of an Outdated Paradigm
There were two primary reasons why we felt we had no choice but to develop this program…
The first:
Take a look at the graph below:
Statistics from the National Institute on Drug Abuse show relapse rates as high as 40-60% for those in treatment [2].
As these figures demonstrate, addiction is notoriously difficult to treat and has one of the worst treatment outcomes in psychotherapy. Research by Kelly et al. (2012) revealed that only 20-30% of individuals with substance use disorders maintained abstinence after one year, while 40-50% of clients treated for depression and anxiety showed significant improvements [3].
The second:
In 2023, we organised The Holistic Recovery Summit in an attempt to understand the mechanisms driving the addiction crisis, why relapse rates are so high, and also what the most effective treatment approaches are.
Over the course of interviewing 40 of the world’s leading researchers and clinical psychologists in evidence-based addiction treatment (people like Dr Janina Fisher, Dr Richard Schwartz, Prof. Steven Hayes, Dr Anna Lembke, and Dr Stephen Porges), we gradually unravelled the core problem at the heart of addiction treatment.
Unfortunately, it’s so deeply embedded—both culturally and systemically—that many treatment providers and clinicians now take its assumptions for granted.
We know it by:
The Disease Model
Gradually, it began to dawn on us the devastation this has caused…
For those struggling, their families, treatment providers, communities, and society at large.
Dr. Andrew Tatarasky—a clinical psychologist on the frontline of treatment and leading pioneer in the Harm Reduction Movement argues:
The central assumption guiding the disease model (and the approaches stemming from it) is that addiction is located within the person’s biology [4]…
Isolated from their developmental history, social, cultural, and existential context.
Here’s Dr Gabor Maté’s perspective on it:
According to this view, addiction is a permanent condition which can only be treated using a combination of abstinence and psychiatric drugs.
In essence, it “packages” the addiction — drawing neat and clear boundaries around it, so that it fits the pre-ordained criteria of the disease model.
Then hands it off to the medical establishment, deeply ingrained in a standardised, “one-size-fits-all” treatment approach.
This does three things:
- It fails to heal the chemical forms of addiction it is designed for, while often disempowering the individuals receiving treatment.
- It invalidates the struggles of those suffering with behavioural addictions.
- It makes treatment inaccessible to a large percentage of the addicted population.
It also ignores the immense complexity, meaning, and healing potential contained within addictive processes.
Because the reality is that addiction goes beyond substance use disorders.
It has origins, manifestations, and levels—that as a field—we’re only beginning to understand.
Which is why what we discovered during The Holistic Recovery Summit was so important.
Specifically, when Dr Janina Fisher and Dr Anna Lembke brought to our attention the divide between trauma and behaviour camps in addiction treatment, a new breakthrough occurred.
Finally Bridging the Gap Between Trauma & Behaviour
There is a sharp divide between two “camps” in the addiction treatment field:
Between those in the trauma camp → who argue that all addictions are rooted in trauma, so healing can only occur by addressing the underlying root causes [5].
And those in the behaviour camp → who counter that the primary focus needs to be on changing addictive behaviours, because these are responsible for the current suffering in our clients’ lives.
In our view, this doesn’t have to be a binary, either/or, dichotomy as many make it out to be.
We believe there is validity in both perspectives.
Which means we need a flexible solution.
A middle way.
One that allows us to both identify (and heal) the root causes, while, at the same time, empowering clinicians to immediately work on changing the addictive behavioural patterns.
After interviewing 40 experts for the Holistic Recovery Summit and considering each of their perspectives…
We recognised we needed to go deeper and beyond the narrow biological lens of the disease model in treatment.
Because addiction is a multi-dimensional problem, it requires a multi-dimensional solution — one that sees individuals in their broadest possible context.
And by viewing it through a psychological → biological → social → existential lens, we realised we could create a new model that could heal addiction at multiple levels.
Here’s what it looks like through this new paradigm.
The Four Dimensions of Addiction Treatment
Notice how the disease model narrowly focuses on biology—and ignores the other three perspectives?
This is limiting because it means we are only addressing one quarter of the full sphere of human existence.
However, when you leverage all four, it empowers you to see the full picture and take a holistic (and humane) approach to treatment.
Furthermore, these elements exist in an interrelated loop.
Meaning that issues in one area “spill over” into and negatively affect other areas too.
For example, developmental trauma (quadrant 1), may lead to problems trusting others which could lead to social isolation (quadrant 3). When missing social bonds, clients may seek to get social needs met in maladaptive ways by “bonding” with substances or behaviours (quadrant 2).
As the addiction gradually takes up more “real estate” in your client’s mind, it becomes their central source of meaning, disconnecting them from their internal world, their body, and other life-giving sources (quadrant 4).
Taking this into consideration, we knew we needed a treatment model which:
— Is grounded in the latest research in neuroscience and developmental psychology.
— Allows us to deal with the full spectrum of addiction cases, ranging from alcohol, to drugs, to food, and technology.
— Enables us to treat root causes and addictive processes simultaneously — and doesn’t see this as an “either/or” dichotomy
— Does not require abstinence and can begin at whatever stage the client is currently at.
Which led us to…
The Flexible Recovery Process (FRP)
Working closely with seven of the world’s leading pioneers, we’ve used these insights to develop a new model based on the latest breakthroughs in addiction treatment and research:
Not only does it help you to identify the root causes of addictive behaviours…
It also enables you to create a holistic treatment plan that accounts for all four of the above dimensions and targets the areas of greatest need.
And you can begin immediately.
Because FRP is grounded in harm reduction principles, there are no barriers to treatment.
Which means you can start working with clients at whatever stage of the addiction spectrum they currently find themselves on.
After condensing 37 recovery summit interviews down into seven of the most impactful, we invited seven leading pioneers to create a training path with us.
Over time, this has developed into a multidimensional framework for re-humanising and healing addiction at its core, involving:
— Theoretical lectures, outlining the core concepts of each approach and how they can be applied to treat addiction.
— In-session “demo” videos, showing how the theoretical content can be used in real life situations with clients.
— Application guidelines, offering simple, step-by-step instructions for applying the theory covered in your clinical practice.
— CPD Certification & Assessment, to test your knowledge and demonstrate your commitment to your ongoing professional development.
For the first time, The Weekend University is opening up a revolutionary live cohort training path to bring a limited number of mental health professionals to the cutting-edge of evidence-based addiction treatment.
Introducing…
The Holistic Recovery Course
We’re on a mission to bring together the world’s leading pioneers to tackle the biggest problems currently facing mental health professionals.
However, we’re also on a mission to empower you with everything you need to offer the best possible service to your clients.
Both today and in the future.
So if you invest in one addiction learning resource in your lifetime…
We believe this is the most valuable, adaptable, and accessible training program on the market today and that it will continue to benefit you (and your clients) for years—if not decades—to come.
The Holistic Recovery Course comes with seven modules to give you an overview, assessment, and treatment toolkit for understanding and treating addiction, including:
- 1 → Neurobiology & The Learning Model with Prof. Marc Lewis → (£67 Value)
- 2 → Harm Reduction Psychotherapy: the Foundation of All Addiction Treatment - Dr Andrew Tatarsky, PhD → (£67 Value)
- 3 → Schema Therapy as an Assessment & Treatment Tool with Liz Lacy, LCSW → (£67 Value)

So there are…
Two Paths to Humanising Addiction From Here
If all we have is a hammer, and everything looks like a nail… then we’re limited in our capacity to treat the full spectrum of addictive processes across their many manifestations and levels.
The more we learn about it, and its manifestation in the body and mind… the more we realise that a holistic, multidimensional approach is required.
One that accounts for the whole person; mind, body, spirit, and social context.
Moreover, treatment needs to be tailored to each individual’s unique situation, at that particular moment in time, with their needs, in ways that progress them forward.
That’s why we believe that it’s vital for anyone working with addiction to be armed with a wide range of tools and methods.
It’s also why we’ve gone to great lengths to bring together seven world leading experts (from a wide range of disciplines) within the Holistic Recovery Course.
So that those who take this training will be at the forefront of their field, and equipped with the latest science-based strategies for healing and transforming addiction.
