90 in 90 is a tool that was designed to help those with dependencies focus on recovery and stay clean and sober.

Neurobehavioral-Developmental Behavior Address and Care, A Child and Adolescent White Paper

Written by Sigurd H. and Debra L. Zielke, Neurobehavioral-Developmental Behavior (NBD) is a grounded, empirical and theory-informed strategy for building civil, competent and moral children and youth in America. Unlike traditional behavior management strategies and programs that teach adults how to get kids to “behave,” the NBD is an interactive, open-system, theory-in-use strategy created to enable practitioners to incisively read kids’ behavior and then respond in differentiated and formative ways.

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

After years of drinking and casual drug use, Tyrone found his own path to recovery by witnessing the hope Fairbanks had given his own brother.

“I watched my brother change and realized I was addicted to drugs and alcohol also and I wanted to change. He really helped me see that there was hope.” said Tyrone.

Although Tyrone struggled with the concept of sobriety and honesty for several years he has now been sober for three years and has a new outlook on life.

“I changed my attitude and actions and realized that I have to be honest with myself,” said Tyrone. “It begins with me and it ends with me and I have to be responsible for my decisions.
My life today is better than it’s ever been.”

Seth spent 30 days at Fairbanks before moving into La Verna Lodge Family Program, a 12-step, long-term treatment setting for men created to unite residents and their families in recovery.

“I had to get away from my daily habits and also focus on my recovery,” he says. “But I also needed a safe place to manage my anxiety about life, and a place where I could be held accountable to behave in the appropriate way.”

“After coming to Fairbanks, I realized everything kept on happening without me, that I wasn’t the cause for every effect. For somebody who was terminally self-important, that was the biggest lesson I could ever get.”
