“Utilizing the Discovery Card decks provides a rich experience for clients, giving them the words and concepts to focus and share with each other. The materials are highly individualized and most clients really enjoy the tactile nature of sorting and laying out the cards themselves.”
Marty Ferrero, MA, CCS, ICCADC, LADC, CMAT
Sr. Director of Community Relations
“We have been using the kits to help with focusing on addiction specific learning. With our focus being so trauma oriented the addiction issues can sometimes be missed. I found the cards are good ways to open up that conversation and make sure we don’t miss any areas needing focus.”
Scott Davis M.Ed., LPC-S, CSAT
Clinical Director
“Thank you for this great interactive group tool. I purchased a set last year at the CCAPP conference and have used it several times in group. The clients absolutely love it and it has given many hours of great process material in addition to the learning objective.”

“I purchased a Clinician Kit with nine decks at the NCAD conference. I use them daily in Group session as well as individual therapy sessions. They are excellent tools because patients talk automatically, even the guarded ones! “

“The clients loved using the Discovery Cards and I enjoyed teaching them. They were very helpful and the best part is the clients actually do all of the work and are able to truly see where they say they are now where any one else says they are.”

“Really cool concept--love the idea of people "learning without realizing they are learning." Kudos!
Hank Matthews, LPC, CSAC
“We had a great time with the Relapse Phases and Warning Signs activities. Some said they were surprised by what the cards revealed about their warning signs, others felt validated because the cards accurately put their last relapse into words. They enjoyed the hands-on learning experience. Thank you!!”

“The R1 Learning System is a great way to enhance the material and concepts we are teaching Drug Court clients in our early recovery group. The clients have an interactive way of taking a deeper look at the Stages of Change and evaluate the types of consequences their substance use created.”
