Teachability

Bryan Hullihen  has worked with addicts and alcoholics in early recovery for several years now and has been a part of Paramount Recovery Services from the beginning. Bryan has witnessed lots of people come and go on their journey of recovery, however, the one thing he claims to be an axion regarding a person's adjustment to the recovery process is that the more teachable a person is the easier their transition is. Bryan Hullihen  himself will tell you that teachability can be learned which was, in fact, his experience. Many attempts at recovery left Bryan disillusioned to his own power concerning his ability to control his drinking or refrain from it entirely. It wasn't until Bryan learned that his thinking and his refusal to be led by others was contributing to his downfall did he begin to implement teachability in his own life. At Paramount RecoveryServices  Bryan Hullihen's story is one that guides our techniques when working with those i...

Beginning with the End in Mind

My name is Bryan Hullihen and I have had the pleasure of working with Paramount Recovery Services LLC since 2014. There are many aspects of this program that I enjoy, however, one aspect that I find salient and believe to be particularly beneficial to the clients is the concept of beginning with the end in mind. When individuals enter into the Paramount Recovery Services program the primary address is that of dealing with the substance abuse issue. Decisions that are made at the staff, and client, level are made with recovery being the dictate of choice concerning plans and goals. The individual’s recovery is of paramount importance which is tantamount to client safety. With Paramount Recovery Services being an aftercare program where clients go to work or school, develop a sober support group, participate in activities, go to the gym, and learn to live their lives in a healthy manner it is important to allow the individual to design their life while in PRS to mirror what it will ...

Helping Others

Paramount Recovery Services has been open since 2014 and has helped over two hundred people put their lives back together in that time. My name is Bryan Hullihen and I am one of the founders of Paramount Recovery Services and I too am an alcoholic. When I first began my own personal recovery, I announced myself as an alcoholic begrudgingly and perfunctorily. At that time, I didn’t know that all of my past experiences would assist me in the future in helping others recover from their own suffering. When Paramount Recovery Services’ most recent census was delivered to me and I was shown how we have helped over two hundred people onto the road of sober independence I truly understood how my past was an asset in helping others. I have made my share of mistakes in life (more than my share actually) but through change and helping others my past mistakes no longer define me as a man. The things that define me today are the ways in which I can be of maximum service to others. Paramount Reco...

Therapeutic Alliance

My name is Bryan Hullihen and I do consultation work for Paramount Recovery Services . Over the years I have had the pleasure of working with several treatment centers at varying levels of care which has provided me with exposure to many different methodologies concerning client care. One of things that I have learned over the years is the importance of the “therapeutic alliance” concerning an individual’s likelihood of completing treatment. Furthermore, those who complete the program’s requirements while taking direction through, and after, the treatment process have a much better chance of achieving long-term sobriety. Paramount Recovery Services is an aftercare program that serves as a bridge from treatment to living a life of sober independence. For the majority of the clients that come to our program they are coming to us after graduating their primary care setting. The client’s graduation proves the ability for the referring agency to have established a solid therapeutic allia...

Welcome to the Paramount Recovery Services Blog

Paramount Recovery Services LLC was founded in 2014 in Prescott, AZ by Bryan Hullihen , Kevin Brown , Heather Russell, and Debra Kimbro .

Paramount Recovery Services offers aftercare services for individuals in early recovery and provides a perfect milieu for practical applications of the skills learned in treatment.

These areas are comprised of mental, physical, spiritual, emotional, and relational aspects of the individual which we believe must be addressed in order for lasting change to take place. It is for this reason that Paramount Recovery Services does not accept any middle of the r...
