Free · Confidential · No pressure · Evidence-based · Serving NJ & Eastern PA
Recovery without a plan is exhausting.
You leave treatment — or you're trying to sustain recovery on your own — and the structure disappears. The coping skills fade. The days get wide open. Most relapses don't come from a lack of willpower; they come from a lack of a plan.
And if you love someone in recovery, you carry your own weight: you want to help, but you're not sure what actually works — and what quietly makes things worse.
A wellness plan changes that. It gives recovery a structure you can follow — and a direction that's genuinely yours.
What's inside the toolkit
Eight evidence-based tools, working together as one personal plan you can carry on your phone.
8 Dimensions of Wellness
See where you stand across emotional, physical, social, financial, occupational, spiritual, intellectual, and environmental health — and know exactly where to focus next.
Coping Skills in Action
A personal coping menu — grounding, behavioral activation, and relapse-prevention skills you can reach for before a craving becomes a crisis.
Purpose & Goal Mapping
Define your Why, set your goals, and map the daily practices that get you there — so recovery becomes about building something worth staying for, not just avoiding the next relapse.
A Crisis Plan, Written in Advance
Your warning signs, your coping strategies, and who to call — decided while you're clear-headed. Includes the SAMHSA National Helpline (1-800-662-4357), answered 24/7.
Daily Structure & Check-Ins
Turn the plan into a daily rhythm with simple check-ins — so recovery becomes something you do, not just something you think about.
Recovery Capital
Build four kinds of capital — Personal, Social & Family, Community, and Cultural — so your foundation gets stronger the longer you stay, not more fragile.
Milestones & Streaks
Set your recovery date and watch the days add up — 24 hours, 30 days, one year. Add the personal milestones that matter to you, and celebrate every one. Every day sober is worth celebrating.
A Curated Resource Library
Searchable, trusted resources across six areas — support groups, crisis help, family support, mental health, wellness, and financial & vocational — so you don't have to find everything on your own.
Bolster your plan with a Certified Recovery Coach.
The toolkit gives you the tools. A coach gives you the breakthrough. When you're ready to go deeper, the app includes optional 1-on-1 recovery coaching with a Certified Recovery Coach — lived experience, proven methods, fully in your corner. Choose the level of support that meets you where you are.
