SEVA Recovery is recognised as North America's leading provider of peer support recovery for physicians, medical professionals, first responders, and law enforcement. That distinction was earned quietly, one person at a time, and the same standard of support is now open to anyone ready to make lasting, lifelong change.
Recovery asks for the same care and patience the seasons ask of a forest.
Two languages describe the same mind. We teach them together.
i.
Lasting change does not come from any single model or program. We integrate evidence-based behavioural science with the philosophy of non-theistic Buddhism to help people understand the causes of suffering, and develop the skills required to change, permanently.
Methodologies serve the philosophy, not the other way around.
ii.
Cognitive-behavioural science and Buddhist philosophy describe the same mind in different vocabularies. One arrived at through the laboratory, the other through twenty-five centuries of first-person inquiry. Each becomes clearer in the company of the other.
Presented as practical psychological tools, never as religious teaching.
iii.
Every practitioner brings both professional training and lived experience of the very patterns our clients are moving through. That combination creates a rapport and honesty not available in conventional clinical settings.
Round-the-clock support you will not find elsewhere.
“The paradox is that hedonism, the pursuit of pleasure for its own sake, leads to anhedonia, which is the inability to enjoy pleasure of any kind.”
Three individual programs, one continuous practice.
A structured arc for those ready to understand the mind behind the substance or behaviour, and to change, permanently.

On finances
Cost is decided case by case, and we will not allow finances to become a barrier to support.
On fit
If our support is not right for you, we will tell you plainly and point you toward what is.
On practitioners
Every practitioner carries lived experience of the patterns our clients are moving through, alongside their professional training.
On what we are not
SEVA Recovery is not a 12-step program. We embody the concepts and principles of Recovery Dharma as a supplementary group practice we encourage clients to explore.
