The belief behind the work
“Recovery isn’t just about removing substances from a person’s life. It’s about building a life they no longer want to escape from.”
More than a workbook
People don’t just learn recovery. They experience it.
Recovery Roadmap is a connected, story-driven curriculum for substance use recovery groups. Each Mile Marker combines clear psychoeducation, honest reflection, practical skills, and a memorable Road Experience.
The result is a familiar structure that helps facilitators lead with confidence—and helps participants move from insight to action, one meaningful step at a time.

D’Anthony Willis
Group facilitator · Curriculum developer
Recovery Roadmap began with a practical need: meaningful, ready-to-facilitate material for people rebuilding their lives in recovery. D’Anthony turned real group-room experience into a curriculum centered on dignity, honest reflection, memorable learning, and hope.
