Recovery RoadmapFinding yourself. Building your future.An experiential recovery curriculum
Recovery is more than leaving something behind.
It is the work of rediscovering who you are, understanding your story, healing through connection, and building a future worth protecting.
Evidence-informedReflection-basedPractical
Pilot curriculumDesigned for groups and individual counseling
The belief behind the work
“Recovery isn’t just about removing substances from a person’s life. It’s about building a life they no longer want to escape from.”
More than a workbook
People don’t just learn recovery. They experience it.
Recovery Roadmap is a connected, story-driven recovery education system for groups and individual counseling. Each Mile Marker combines clear psychoeducation, honest reflection, practical skills, and a memorable Road Experience.
The result is a familiar structure that helps counselors and facilitators lead with confidence—and helps participants move from insight to action, one meaningful step at a time.

D’Anthony Willis
Recovery facilitator · Curriculum developer
Recovery Roadmap began with a practical need: meaningful, ready-to-use material for people rebuilding their lives in recovery. D’Anthony turned real counseling and group-room experience into a curriculum centered on dignity, honest reflection, memorable learning, and hope.
“Every page must earn its place—and every lesson should leave someone with more hope and one practical next step.”
