There are moments in this journey that remind me why I started Arcana Recovery in the first place. Celebrating our new partnership with Self Recovery, founded by Dr. Daniel Hochman, was one of those moments.
My first real "aha moment" in recovery happened years ago, during my inpatient stay at the VA in Lebanon, PA. My therapist asked me to journal about why I felt like the world was against me. That night, as I wrote through the heartaches and heaviness I'd been carrying, something shifted. In the middle of journaling, I asked myself a new question: "What would I feel if the world wasn't against me?"
The next week, when I read what I wrote to my therapist, her eyes filled with tears. She was wowed and told me she didn't expect me to reframe my own thoughts so naturally. That moment was my introduction to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and it changed how I understood my mind and my life.
When I found Self Recovery, I saw the same kind of clarity I experienced that night at the VA, this time, backed by Dr. Hochman's medical training as a physician, and research from thousands of studies that provide a holistic approach to addiction care that works. It was clear, science-based, and transformational. I knew I had to make this program available to our community. It felt like the missing piece I wish I'd had access to from the beginning.
Closing the Gap Between Tracking and Understanding
The common gap I would see was when someone would track their recovery patterns in Arcana Recovery for weeks. Noticing they relapsed every time work stress peaked, or that their cravings intensified after certain social situations. They could see the pattern, but they didn’t always understand why it was happening or how to change it at a deeper level.
That's where Self Recovery, the online addiction recovery program, comes in.
Arcana Recovery was built to help people balance demanding responsibilities, track their recovery, understand their patterns, and build a lifestyle that supports their well-being. We give you the daily structure and insights.
Self Recovery teaches the psychology and neuroscience behind addiction in a way that actually clicks. The program includes 6 modules that include bite-sized video lessons, interactive exercises, and practical tools. It helps you understand the root causes, the brain patterns, and the behavioral cycles that keep you stuck.
Together, we close the gap between seeing your patterns and actually transforming them.
What This Partnership Means for You
You'll understand why you do what you do. Self Recovery helps you explore the root causes and brain patterns beneath your behaviors and understand the science of how addiction works in your mind.
You'll have tools that work together. Track your daily progress in Arcana while learning best practices to overcome your addiction in Self Recovery. When you notice a pattern in your tracking, you'll have the knowledge to understand it and the tools to change it.
You'll access evidence-based support that meets you where you are. Both platforms were designed for people who don't always see themselves reflected in traditional recovery spaces, or who simply want an alternative that fits their lifestyle.
What You Can Expect From This Collaboration
Two Platforms, One Powerful Approach
While the platforms work independently (for now!), they're designed to complement each other perfectly. Self Recovery gives you the education and scientific understanding of why you do what you do. Arcana Recovery is where you build your recovery plan, track your daily progress, and see your patterns in real time. Learn the science in Self Recovery, then apply it and track it in Arcana.
A Shared Mission
Both Arcana Recovery and Self Recovery believe therapy, support, and education should be accessible to everyone. We're committed to making recovery resources straightforward, empowering, and available when you need them.
If This Resonates With You
If you're ready for a clearer mind, better habits, less chaos, and scientific insight into your patterns. If you want tools that help you stay consistent and a recovery plan that finally makes sense, then this partnership was created with you in mind.
