Self-Determined Recovery provides comprehensive residential and outpatient services for individuals in recovery. Its establishment was inspired by our founder Jamal Lee’s own experience with addiction, as well as the tragic murder of his brother Imani in 2009 when the Army veteran became a victim of police violence while he was in the middle of suffering a behavioral health crisis. Jamal’s vision for the organization is one that encourages a strength-based approach to recovery. Joined by his co-founder Jamal Connor, this dynamic duo embarked upon the mission of restoring lives by believing that every person suffering from addiction still has the ability to redefine themselves for themselves.
From our deeply experienced staff to our structured therapeutic environment, our residential and outpatient services are set apart from the more traditional viewpoint to achieving successful recovery. We provide our clients with a more innovative approach that includes everything from daily affirmations to drumming circles, yoga, meditation, and self-expression writing workshops. We compliment that approach with the simultaneous incorporation of a clinically proven curriculum to help individuals learn how to effectively shift their thoughts and habits for their best chance at accomplishing long-term behavioral improvement and sobriety.
Self-Determined Recovery strongly believes that our team of professional therapists, clinicians, and counselors are best positioned deliver the kind of help that individuals need to be successful in their recovery journey, and best positioned to help build their determination in the process.
