Reward Path Recovery is a new approach to staying clean designed to supplement other more established means such as the 12-Step programs. It blends modern biological and psychological science with the tried and true of traditional recovery culture, setting both within a framework that better harnesses a person’s natural motivation.
We believe that everyone has the potential to live a healthy, happy, substance-free life. Reward Path is here to help you heal your mind, body, heart, soul, friendships, families, community and relationship with yourself.
(Founder and Program Psychiatrist/Administrator) After 24 years of personal recovery experience, as well as 24 years of professional experience as an addiction-oriented psychiatrist, Michael Vivian has made it his life’s ambition to build a more humane and effective addiction treatment center. Compared to his academic and professional achievements, Michael found his own recovery to be a far greater challenge and accomplishment. He had to dig deep over many years, and use a wide variety of mental health and recovery resources, to finally find freedom from the merciless obsession of his addiction. Though once discouraged by his struggles, he now draws upon them as invaluable sources of motivation and inspiration that leave him uniquely qualified to serve others.

As a trauma informed therapist, Gigi teaches her clients to recognize and trust their somatic cues (body-based feelings), and to set healthy boundaries based upon those feelings. This allows individuals to avoid repeating self-destructive choices. Also, one of the biggest challenges recovering individuals face is learning to tolerate uncomfortable feelings without falling back into maladaptive behaviors. Her work also focuses on helping clients develop healthy new ways to self-soothe.
