The Balance of Science and Spirit
New Wave Recovery is unique because we blend two distinct worlds: state-of-the-art clinical treatment options and holistic healing practices. Therefore, our editorial content reflects both types of treatment.
When reading our content, you should expect to find information backed by the latest research in addiction medicine, neurology, and psychology (such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy). However, we also embrace and discuss the spiritual and energetic aspects of recovery (such as Reiki, Sound Bowl Therapy, and Mindfulness).
We are committed to distinguishing between these two pillars while showing how they work in harmony. We pledge to:
- Clearly present clinical facts (such as detox protocols or medication management) with medical accuracy.
- Present holistic modalities as complementary practices that support the mind, body, and spirit, rather than as replacements for necessary medical care.
Stigma-Free, Person-First Language
Words have power. At New Wave Recovery, we reject the stigma that has surrounded addiction. We believe that you are not defined by your addiction; you are a whole person deserving of respect and dignity.
In our writing, the editorial team adheres strictly to guidelines incorporating sensitive and Person-First Language, because we believe that shame impedes recovery. Our content is designed to dismantle shame so that you feel safe enough to reach out for help.
Independence and Integrity
The information that appears on the New Wave Recovery Center website has been created to help those on their healing journey and to support the families of individuals with substance use disorders.
We are an independent treatment center, not owned by a pharmaceutical conglomerate, and we do not accept payments to promote specific medications or third-party products within our educational content. We operate with full transparency; if we recommend a specific treatment, it is because we have seen it work for our patients, not because we are paid to promote it.
Accessibility and Clarity
Trying to navigate addiction recovery is stressful enough on its own without having to navigate complex medical jargon.
That is why our priority is to make all of our content accessible. We do our best to explain complex neurological and psychological concepts in plain, easy-to-understand language so that you come away with more understanding about why you feel the way you do and how treatment can actually help.
Medical Disclaimer
While we take great pride in our content, please remember that information found here is not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment by a professional.
If you are in a medical emergency, call 911 immediately.

Thank you for trusting the New Wave Recovery Center. Whether you are ready to start treatment today or are just looking for more information on substance abuse treatment, we are honored to be a part of your journey toward a healthier life.
