Advancing Knowledge Matters

Since the birth of psychology, research has always been the source of developing good ideas (i.e., knowledge) for helping people heal, grow, and change towards a lifestyle of wellness. Our goal at PCI is to participate in the research world in a variety of ways. We are fully committed to advancing knowledge to help people get the best treatment possible.

Below is our “agenda” for contributing to the knowledge base. Notice that we operate at every level of society, because addiction and mental illness affect every person at every level of society.

3. Advocacy

  • Regular participation at local and state level via organizations like ATAC,
  • Tackling addiction at both the personal and societal level.
  • Daily posting on social media to provide tips for followers as well as advocate for research-based solutions to mental health and addiction issues.
  • Collaboration with local treatment centers, sober living facilities, and clinicians to improve the standard of care.

We have a number of ideas for research projects, presentations, and community level interventions. We are open to partnering with community groups, such as local government and law enforcement. And we are building partnerships with other treatment facilities.

Many facilities in the treatment industry have an “adversarial” approach to sharing ideas and knowledge. We don’t, and there is one simple reason why: it only hurts the community and the patients. This is the “old way” of doing business, and we want to be part of the solution, not the problem.

Contact us if you want to become part of the “solution” to the systemic problem of addiction and mental illness.
