Non-12 Step Addiction Recovery: Why The Disease Model Fails & Empowerment Works
Is the 12-Step Disease Model holding you back? In this candid discussion, Elevate Addiction Services breaks down the philosophical and practical differences between traditional AA/NA programs and the modern Empowerment/Choice Model of recovery.

The Elevate Experience
Welcome to the Elevate Experience! From addict to running her own rehab for over 20 years, CEO of Elevate Addiction Services, Angie Manson’s journey through recovery is an inspiring tale of overcoming adversity and finding redemption. She first experimented with drugs and alcohol at age 11 and by age 15 had dropped out of high school and was using hard drugs on a daily basis. After being arrested 7 times as a juvenile, and having an unsuccessful attempt at rehab, she continued to spiral further into addiction. As an adult, facing a 10 year prison sentence, she was forced back into rehab at the age of 20. Through the compassion of her judge and recovery mentors, Angie found her true passion and purpose for helping others like herself overcome their struggles with addiction and live an empowered life.
