Brain Awareness Recovery Initiative (BARI) is a collaborative project created to produce and distribute educational materials designed to help the person in early addiction recovery identify areas of need for intervention and track progress achieved in brain function restoration. An important goal may be to build a solid foundation in all facets of recovery. BARI is a tool, one of many resources a person challenged by addiction needs to sustain long-term term recovery."Brain-Healing First Aid: How to Recover my Brain's Abilities during Addition Treatment" and our three poster series, as our first productions in the BARI can offer identification of problem areas, new insight, helpful suggestions, and specific brain exercises for healing to help you put more "tools in your toolbox" to assist in creating a sustainable recovery plan. Not every area and/or suggestion will fit everyone. We have used numerous resources to come up with common brain function deficits experienced by a majority of people negatively affected by substance abuse and addiction.

The Brain Club is similar to a physical fitness or sports gym for the brain, in that we learn how to exercise and strengthen our brain "muscles" instead of our physical muscles. Using challenging exercises at easier-to-more-difficult levels over 16 sessions allows the brain strength and empowerment to gradually increase, at a healthy rate. Brain Club includes various types of engaging puzzles and games which target the main functions of our brain such as: attention, memory, and problem-solving. Utilizing "Brain Club" as a supplement to "treatment as usual" for folks with substance use disorders (SUD) has proven to be effective in improving brain functions as well as increasing the potential for positive treatment outcomes.
