Recovery, Inc. is a self-help mental health program based on the ground breaking work of our founder a neuropsychiatrist, the late Abraham A. Low, M.D. We are non-profit, non-sectarian and completely member managed. Recovery Inc., has been active since 1937 and we have groups meeting every week around the world.
What can Recovery, Inc. do for me?
Recovery, Inc. offers its members a free
method to regain and maintain their mental health. By studying Dr. Low's
practical method of Mental Health Through Will Training,
Recovery Inc. members learn techniques for handling trivial, everyday
situations.
Our members include people diagnosed with mood disorders including depression, dysthymia and bipolar (manic-depressive) disorders; psychotic disorders including schizophrenia; anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders; and personality disorders. Our members also include people who have not been diagnosed, but who are having difficulty dealing with the problems of everyday life.
Our program is designed to work in conjunction with professional mental health services. Many people in our group also belong to 12-step programs such as A.A.; Recovery, Inc. is not affiliated with any religion or belief system, and Recovery, Inc. is operated entirely by non-professionals.
