The Problem
The behavioral health industry is grappling with significant challenges that affect access, care quality, and overall effectiveness. These issues have profound financial consequences, costing organizations hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. Key concerns include high staff turnover and burnout, clients leaving against medical advice, and fluctuations in the average length of stay.
Staff
Burnout
67% of mental health professionals experience high levels of burnout.
Staff
Turnover
Turnover rates in behavioral healthcare range from 30–60% annually.
Clients
Leaving AMA
AMA rates average 20% to 50%, particularly in detox settings.
If you employ 100 people
and half of them are experiencing burnout, the cost to you is between $35,000 - $60,000 annually.
If your program has 100 employees, and 27.5% of your employees turnover,
this is costing you approx.
$150,000 per year.
If you admit 100 unique patients per year, and you’re losing an average of 35% of your billable treatment days it is costing you $735,000 per year.
"Our clinicians who were actively trained by TJ just loved it and are so enthusiastic about it that the rest of the clinical team is now clamoring for more training."

"Conscious Recovery has a way of boiling down things down into practical approaches. Honestly, this is better than what I learned in my graduate program."

About Conscious Recovery Institute
Clinicians are often trained to focus primarily on symptoms and behaviors, yet the profound impact of deep attunement, holding space, empathy, and compassion is frequently overlooked.
Co-Founders, Dr. Patrick Lockwood and TJ Woodward share a powerful mission - to revolutionize behavioral healthcare through deeper healing and innovation. Together, they are proud to introduce the Conscious Recovery Institute, a collaborative initiative dedicated to transforming the field.
Conscious Recovery Institute offers a transformative philosophical framework that empowers clinicians to cultivate a sacred space for authentic connection. This approach enables them to truly understand their clients and address the root causes of addiction and mental health challenges-uncovering the underlying trauma, shame, spiritual disconnection, and lack of worthiness that drive maladaptive behaviors.
