"Genius! Recovery Superstar is teaching powerful mind-body medicine in a clear and easy-to-learn way to people who really need it: folks recovering from addiction. The program is packed with excellent information and resources that are difficult for people in recovery who want optimal healing to find for themselves. Why hasn’t this been done before?"Â
- Dr. Juli Fraga, psychotherapist with a speciality in mindfulness
IS THIS YOU?
If you’re one of these three types of people this Recovery Superstar is for you
Ready To Taper?Â
- You are taking buprenorphine (Suboxone) and want to be able to taper off it eventually.
- “I want to be done with this — but I’m scared to let go of what’s helped me survive.”
- You still carry shame, guilt, and emotional pain — but rarely (if ever) say it out loud.
The Functional
"Silent Struggler"
- You use alcohol, opiates, cannabis, or other substances often to deal with stress, depression, anxiety or insomnia.
- You are functional but can’t stop using. What you’ve tried hasn’t worked. You’re looking for something to help you break the cycle.Â
- “I am sick of seeing my business, life and family suffer because of my addiction."
The Frustrated Family Member
- You or a family member is struggling with frequent use of substances and you want to get off the rollercoaster.
- Maybe you are a parent who is burned out and you want to learn tools to help the person struggling.
- You’ve tried or seen them go through detox, rehab and 12-step programs but the fear of relapse looms. You want to make the struggle easier for yourself and for them.
You want change—but you also want to protect your stability
You may want to feel more independent from medication.
But you may also be grateful for the stability buprenorphine has provided and afraid of what might happen if things change.
You may want a clear plan.
But you may worry about withdrawal, cravings, disrupted sleep, anxiety, pain, relapse, or losing the progress you have worked hard to build.
You may want to feel more like yourself.
But you may not want to be pressured into stopping a medication to prove that you are in recovery.
These concerns are valid.
Recovery Superstar gives you educational information, reflection tools, recovery-support practices, and community support to help you prepare for a more informed conversation with your care team.
It does not prescribe a taper, determine whether you are ready, or replace your clinician.
And it does not assume that tapering is the right outcome for everyone.

3 Myths About Addiction
Let’s start with the most common myths about substance use/abuse.
Myth #1:
“There’s nothing I can do to help my brain recover”
Why this isn't True
- Your brain doesn’t stop developing at a certain age.
- Your brain can make new brain cells and neural connections throughout your life.
- Your brain has the ability to change and adapt which is termed as neuroplasticity and is influenced by diet, exercise and mental stimulation
Myth #2:
“I’ll tell my family about my addiction once I am clean”
Why this isn't the right approach
- Your family finding out could be the best thing that happens for your recovery and your life.
- Most people find that their family already knows and they are accepting.
- Conflict within the social network, especially conflict in the family, increases the probability of relapse.
Myth #3:
“I have to hit rock bottom before I can recover”
Why this isn't True
- Waiting until things get worse increases the risks to your health, relationships, and future.
- Recovery is possible at any stage — you don’t need to wait for a crisis to take action.
- Research shows that early intervention leads to better long-term outcomes.
"Regardless of whether you are actively using substances or not, cultivating self compassion improves emotional regulation and reduces shame and self-blame. It will lead to less lying and less hiding and less reactivity. You will inevitably feel better and use less substances and become more resilient to relapse."
- Alex Zaphiris, MD, MS
A science-based program that will give you the best chance of recovery
Renew
In this program, we are changing the internal conversation. We are rewiring our mind for long term recovery and more self-acceptance and self-compassion.
Restore
The 2nd pillar is to Awaken Your Body. In this program you will learn the tools to nourish your mind and body through movement and nourishment which cultivates vitality.
Â
Reclaim
When you have a shift in this deep part of you, the rest of your recovery gets much easier.Â
Restoring your soul is healing deeply held beliefs that aren’t serving you anymore. In this program, you will learn how to dissolve your internal struggles so that you can move forward in a much clearer and easier way, knowing you deserve to be here. You deserve to be happy and healthy and you are worthy of love.
Â
The other important element on this journey is community. Being with others who love and accept us is healing. It chips away at the protective wall around us and builds a little bit more kindness and compassion for ourselves.
I'm ready to recover
"Facing down the addict within myself has been a losing battle thus far. Years of allowing an irrational, pleasure-driven beast to grow out of control has put me in a seemingly inescapable pit of despair. So, if I’m going to win the war within myself, it’s tools like this that will help."
- Rico, A Recovery Superstar Graduate

Hi, I’m Dr. Alex Zaphiris (Zuh-FEAR-is), MD MS. I help people struggling with addiction and complex chronic diseases — and their loved ones — who feel stuck and frustrated with their lack of progress in recovery.Â
From working with patients over the last 20 years I have seen what works and what doesn’t work. I bring together the missing pieces to offer an integrated, science-based whole-person approach that not only supports healing but helps prevent relapse, so individuals and families can finally experience true freedom from addiction and lasting transformation.
