Alcohol and Drug Assessment, Education and Treatment

Avenues Philosophy:

Alcoholism and Chemical Dependency are diseases. The excessive use of alcohol and/or drugs reduces the overall quality of human existence and endangers physical health and life expectancy. Therefore it is essential to intervene actively and aggressively against the physical, psychological, social, vocational and spiritual crises exhibited by a chemically dependent client. Unity, trust, hope, understanding and caring are characteristics which must be present to ensure a high level of quality care for the client and progress towards the desired goals and a meaningful recovery.

Avenues to Recovery, Inc.

Is a full service drug and alcohol assessment, education and counseling center. Founded by Lucy Brown in 2003, the focus is on offering confidential, professional assistance to clients in a holistic, caring, safe, friendly and accepting environment. Lucy has many years of experience in the substance abuse field in Johnson County and has been actively working in Olathe in the field of addictions since 1993. She opened Avenues to Recovery, Inc. in 2003 as she saw the need for a new agency which offered the kind of holistic and sensitive programs that it does. In 2009, Mrs. Lucy Brown was selected for and awarded the Kansas Department of Corrections’ Northern Parole Region’s Contractor of the Year award for supporting the mission by exceptional job performance, consistency, dependability, reliability and exemplary service.

Mission Statement

Avenues to Recovery Inc. treatment philosophy, expressed as the Avenues model, recognizes that we all exist as mind, body, spirit, and emotions. The combination of both traditional and innovative therapies engages patients experientially. Only after healing progresses beyond the symptomatic to embrace the whole person does real recovery begin. Our experience and success is in helping patients move beyond underlying problems to true recovery. We have gone out of our way to provide a safe and welcoming environment for our clients and we never use shame or confrontation as a treatment device. It is our absolute belief that our role is to love our clients into recovery or at least until they can love themselves again. Our success as documented by our recent recognition by the Kansas Dept. of Corrections is predicated on the fact that there is no cookie cutter or one size fits all philosophy. We celebrate the individual!

Our treatment philosophy is based on the recognition that addiction is a disease and that abstinence is the best way to manage the condition. We approach treatment in a holistic way, working with mind, body and spirit as components of a healthy life. Alcohol and drug addiction treatment is delivered by a team of professional substance abuse/addiction counselors who understand addictions clinically and anecdotally.

Avenues excels in treating chemical dependency and alcoholism and what we are most concerned about preparing patients for the next level of recovery. Use the links on this page to learn about the programs that can help you or someone you love.

In addition we will do everything in our power to help addicted individuals, their families, colleagues and friends to arrest the disease of addiction, allowing everyone to go forward fulfilling their lives free from the worry and problems that addiction creates. We specialize in interventions for family members with drug and alcohol addictions.
