The Brook Hospital – KMI offers a highly structured chemical dependency residential program for men using a model of recovery called Recovery Dynamics. Recovery Dynamics is a chemical dependency treatment program developed by Joe McQuany in 1997 to be used at Serenity House Treatment Center in Little Rock, Arkansas. The purpose of this program was to design a program that could enable counselors in alcohol and addiction treatment centers, to have a broader and deeper understanding of the AA plan of recovery and to be able to present the program to clients clearly and effectively. Recovery Dynamics is a method for the counselor to use to present the program that is described in the textbook of Alcoholics Anonymous.
