Keys To Recovery

Keys To Recovery© (“KTR”) was created to directly address the needs of recovering opiate addicts. It is through the implementation of the concept of “Harm Reduction” that Keys To Recovery© differentiates itself from other traditional anonymous groups. Keys To Recovery© is comprised of local chapters that are independent of one another and have full autonomy. Each chapter’s members have sole discretion in the implementation of their meetings. However, it is stressed that no chapter have a chain of command or hierarchy, nor that any one member be considered superior to another.

Aegis University was established to support academic institutions, and their students in the Medical and Behavioral Health fields, by providing greater access to relevant literature, research studies, and “state- of- the- art” instructional materials. Furthermore, Aegis University aims to promote excellence and proficiency among members of the Substance Abuse Treatment Community.
