Restorative justice is a framework that acknowledges the complex intersection of psychological, psychiatric, and substance abuse issues with legal, moral, and ethical considerations. It seeks to address the broader context of harmful actions, focusing on accountability, understanding, and repair. This approach recognizes that addiction and mental health challenges often play a significant role in decision-making and behavior, requiring a compassionate yet honest process of healing and growth.
At Recover Integrity, we integrate restorative justice principles into treatment by advocating for clients in legal situations while supporting their journey toward remorse, transformation, and accountability. We collaborate with clinicians, families, and legal teams to help clients understand the impact of their actions, work toward repairing harm, and restore trust within their relationships and communities. By fostering this process of restoration, we aim to create the best possible outcomes for all parties involved, emphasizing healing, accountability, and personal growth.
