The Moore Institute

The Moore Institute is a doctor's practice in Birmingham, Alabama, devoted to helping individuals and families affected by addiction. Its clinical work centers on alternative addiction recovery services, relationship therapy and individual counseling, and it holds a rating of 5.00 from 11 reviews. The practice was co-founded by husband and wife team Steve and Pam Moore, who began with an individual practice in 1996; that practice has since grown into the Moore Institute, which has provided treatment and therapy to thousands of individuals and families. Steve and Pam are both licensed clinical social workers and both hold the private independent practitioner designation. Steve received a Master of Social Work with honors from the University of Alabama and has trained extensively in addiction and relationship therapies; Pam received her Master of Social Work from the same university, and works with individuals, couples and families, with interests in addiction disorders, co-dependency, trauma and mood disorders.

The Intensive, begun in 2017, grew out of years of research through The Addiction Research Foundation and led to the development of two clinical methods, the Star Matrix and the Multi Modal Recovery Process. Both the evening and morning Intensive are led by licensed professionals. Treatment usually runs 6 to 12 weeks, evaluated with the client week by week, and the program is voluntary, with guidelines rather than rules and a single rule against violence or intimidation. The practice states that it does not enforce a definition of the problem, instead providing scientific information, and its philosophy holds that healing begins with gentleness and compassion toward the hurting parts of ourselves. Sessions are feeling- and experientially oriented, and the stated goal is to get in touch with one's true self and reclaim aliveness.

The Moore Institute sits on Autumn Lane in Birmingham, about a quarter of a mile from a travel clinic, about half a mile from Cahaba Heights Elementary School and the United States Post Office, and roughly half a mile from Cahaba River Road. The John M. Harbert III Freeway runs about three-quarters of a mile away.

Steve Moore is a public speaker sought out around the country for his expertise on addiction and relationship issues, and the practice's reputation among the people it has served is reflected in its rating.
