Structured self-knowledge tools designed for people in recovery — and for the relationships that recovery changes. Workbooks your residents can complete between groups, during downtime, or as part of their treatment plan. Every title produces a document they can sign and carry forward.
Recovery is more than sobriety. It is the process of naming what was lost, what changed, and what the person in recovery is building now. These tools give your residents structured space to do that naming work — on their own time, at their own pace, in formats that meet them where they are. There is a cost side too: a resident who disengages and leaves early can cost a program thousands in unfilled bed days and unbilled services, before counting the human cost of an incomplete recovery.
Each card shows what the title contains, which resident or client to give it to, and when in the recovery process to assign it. Every title produces a document they can sign and act on.

Alex Turner, 38 — Denver
Three years sober. His wife Megan was his drinking partner. Recovery changed the terms of their marriage, and neither of them consented to the new terms.
"She's glad I'm sober. She also misses the person I was. I don't know how to be both."
Their couples counselor assigns For Couples in Recovery Together. Alex and Megan each complete their sections separately. They name seven assumptions about their relationship that were never spoken — including who initiates plans on a Friday night now that drinking is not the plan. They produce a signed Recovery Partnership Agreement: a shared document that says, "This is who we are now, and this is what we are building." The next session, they bring the agreement and start from something real.
For your program: The workbook gave this couple a structure for the conversation they had been circling for two years — and gave their counselor a signed document that makes progress visible to both partners.
Keisha Williams, 32 — Atlanta
Divorced. Raising Jamal alone. Doing the internal work before she dates again — but can not name what broke the first time.
"I know I shut down. I just don't know when it starts."
Her counselor assigns The Family of Origin Deep Dive. Over six weeks, Keisha names the three trust patterns she inherited from her parents' marriage — the ones she carried into her own without ever seeing them. She produces a signed Trust Map: twelve statements about what trust looks like, what breaks it, and what she needs before she can offer it again.
For your program: The workbook gave Keisha language she did not have in session — and gave her counselor a document to build the next phase of treatment around.
If your organization supports people in recovery, these tools can extend the work that happens in meetings, in houses, and in courtrooms. Structured self-knowledge workbooks that do not replace your program — they give the people in your care language for what is changing.
Workbooks members can use between meetings. Structured reflection that complements step work without replacing it. Facilitators can recommend titles; members choose their own pace.
Keep copies in the house library. Residents work through titles during downtime. House managers can assign workbooks as part of the residency structure. Print editions residents can mark up and keep.
Structured self-reflection tools that can be assigned as part of a diversion plan. Judges and case managers can assign specific titles. Completion produces a signed document the court can review.
7:30 AM — Morning group ends. Three residents head to the common room. One picks up a copy of The Recovery Identity Workbook from the shelf. She has been working through chapter two for three days. The questions are not easy. They are clear.
10:00 AM — Individual counseling. The counselor reviews what a resident completed in For Couples in Recovery Together — the chapter on trust after relapse. The resident chose to share three of his seven responses. The counselor does not need to excavate. The language is already there.
1:30 PM — Family visit day. A resident gives her mother a copy of After Estrangement: Family. Not because she has the answers. Because the workbook has questions they both need, and she can not ask them out loud yet.
3:00 PM — A resident in his last week scans the QR code on the bulletin board. He opens Civic Reckoning: Addicts on his phone. He has been thinking about what he owes his neighborhood. Not amends to individuals — he knows that list. What he owes the place he lived when he was using.
6:00 PM — Evening reflection hour. Four residents in the living room, each with a different workbook. No one is talking. Everyone is writing. The work that happens between groups — this is where it lives.
Five residents. Every one of them working on something they can name. That is a Wednesday at a program that uses Purpose Built Press.
