Our Story

About Us

We guide individuals and families from active addiction into lasting, transformational recovery.

Who We Are

A Different Approach to Recovery

Addiction is a deadly disease. Back To Life Recovery offers customized recovery services based on the individual’s and the individual’s family’s life situation.

Our recovery model was developed in Israel, led by Israeli doctors, therapists and psychologists who approach addiction not only medically and clinically, but also holistically and spiritually. We treat mind, body, and spirit.

We work with the person’s underlying issues — traumas, destructive behaviors, pain, and fears — the root of their addiction.

We have built a program and model that offers a very high level of success, where participants stay clean and sober for years to come and live happy and joyful lives free of drugs and alcohol.

We offer the resources and services needed to take an individual in active addiction and bring them into recovery and then back to a stable and fulfilling life.

Our Founders

They Lived It. Then They Built It.

Marina Paz

Co-Founder

Our founders, Marina Paz, a parent whose child had an addiction problem, and Boris Chernyy, an individual in recovery whose connection to this work is deeply personal, witnessed firsthand the devastation addiction causes — not just to individuals, but to entire families.

They also witnessed the profound transformation that is possible when someone receives the right care at the right time.

"They did not just create this model — they lived it."

The People Behind the Work

Our Team

To guide individuals and families from active addiction into lasting, transformational recovery by addressing the root causes of substance use through a comprehensive, evidence-based, and holistic approach that treats mind, body, and spirit.

We are committed to combining clinically proven treatment methods with trauma-informed care, spiritual integration, and structured family support — ensuring that healing extends beyond the individual and strengthens the entire family system.

Through strategic intervention, highly vetted treatment placement, seamless logistical coordination, and long-term aftercare, we provide a clear and supported path from crisis to stability, and from instability to sustained recovery

We envision a world where recovery is not temporary stabilization, but deep and enduring transformation.

A world where addiction is understood and treated as both a clinical disease and a human experience rooted in trauma, emotional pain, and disconnection — requiring integrated medical, psychological, spiritual, and family-centered care.

We strive to set a new standard in addiction recovery — one where individuals achieve years of sustained sobriety, families heal alongside them, and lives once defined by chaos are rebuilt with dignity, structure, purpose, and hope.

What We Stand For

Core Values

Root-Cause Healing

We treat more than substance use. We address trauma, destructive behavioral patterns, abandonment wounds, co-occurring mental health conditions, emotional pain, fear, and shame — because sustainable recovery requires healing at the source.

Evidence-Based Excellence

We prioritize clinically proven, evidence-based treatment modalities and partner only with highly vetted centers that demonstrate measurable long-term outcomes.

Holistic Integration

Recovery is not only clinical — it is human. We integrate medical care with emotional, spiritual, and lifestyle healing to treat the whole person.

Family-Centered Recovery

Addiction impacts the entire family system. We believe healing is strongest when families receive education, structured support, boundaries, and community alongside the individual.

Personalization

Every recovery plan is customized based on the individual's life circumstances, family dynamics, and socioeconomic reality — maximizing the likelihood of lasting success.

Structured Accountability

We combine compassion with clear structure, boundaries, and accountability — creating stability where chaos once existed.

Continuity of Care

Recovery does not end at discharge. From intervention through long-term aftercare, we remain actively involved to ensure seamless transitions and sustained momentum.

Integrity & Advocacy

We operate with transparency, discretion, and unwavering advocacy — guiding families step by step and managing every detail so they can focus on healing.

Long-Term Transformation

Our goal is not short-term abstinence. Our goal is years of sobriety, restored identity, strengthened families, and lives that no longer require escape.
