For these people and the treatment professionals who work with them, a new concept is emerging — one that has been shown to provide a valuable link from being in treatment to living in recovery. “The concept of a person in established recovery helping one in early recovery is clearly not a new concept and is a tenet of the 12-step philosophy,” states Nanette Zumwalt, Director of Private Staffing, Hired Power Inc. According to Zumwalt, a personal recovery assistant program serves as a professional extension of treatment — a link in the chain of the continuum of care.
