There are all sorts of places that you can learn business strategies from as a company owner. One place that you may not have considered before might be from recovery programs. Because addiction and recovery are such powerful events, the strategies involved in going into and out of these programs can be concrete, direct, and ultimately successful.
Looking at strategies regarding establishing rapport over a continuum, taking on habits, finding power in social groups, and customizing services can all be beneficial if moved correctly into your business projects. Specific recovery programs have different types of detail that they go into, so it’s up to you how far you want to begin to individual programs rather than general concepts.
The Continuum
Learning about the continuum of care will give you some great ideas about business strategies right from the outset. In recovery programs, there are steps in there are milestones to go through, and no piece of a person’s path to recovery is left to the unknown. Rehab facilities have parts of the program that are associated with literally every part of an addict’s recovery, and concerning strategy, that something that your business can do as well, though probably more with a focus on a client rather than a victim.
Taking On Habits
No one knows the power of a habit more than an addict. So from a business standpoint, you can talk to someone who’s been through addiction and recovery and ask what sort of techniques they used to replace their habits. Once you understand more about habituation and habit replacement, you can get into the psychology of people that are utilizing the service that your business provides.
Find Power In Social Groups
There is tremendous power in groups when it comes to addiction recovery. The more social support you have, the better chances you have of succeeding in the first place, and in maintaining that success in the long term. Social groups play an important role when it comes to business trends as well, so once again, if you can find the parallels between the energy that people circulate through themselves in recovery programs and the energy that consumers have, you’ll find that there are intrinsic strategies present.
Customizing Services
Finally, one good strategy to pick up as a business person that is very prevalent in recovery programs is the idea of customization. Every person going through addiction and recovery is different, and the staff at rehab facilities is well aware of that. The doctors and assistants will talk with each patient to figure out the best path for that person to use. Similarly, if you personalize the experience that one of your clients has, they will be more than willing to come back as a repeat customer over the long term.
