12-Step Meetings
Because the solution to the disease of addiction includes becoming
fully functional in a 12-Step Recovery program, AA, CA and NA meetings
are included in treatment to begin and maintain the recovery process.
Education
The educational curriculum provides information on relapse prevention
and the bio/psycho/socio/spiritual components of addiction. It
includes education on addiction as a disease; craving management
skills; self-esteem enhancement; feelings management; effective
communication; 12-Step education and spirituality. The goal is to
teach the skills and provide the tools necessary for lifelong
recovery.
Group Therapy
Therapy groups are solution oriented and focused on identifying and
implementing sobriety-based coping skills to address personal issues.
Groups provide the opportunity to identify and process patterns of
emotions, relationship issues and significant life events. Emphasis is
placed on developing a greater understanding of the relationship
between these factors and efforts to maintain sobriety. Groups are
facilitated by certified Masters Level Therapists familiar with
12-Step Recovery.
Family Program
The disease of addiction harms those who have it, hurts their loved
ones and damages the relationships between them. With appropriate,
supportive guidance, healing can occur. Relationships can grow to be
healthy and satisfying. Loved ones are strongly encouraged to
participate in the week-end family program as well as the three day
family workshop.
This consists of education on addiction and 12-Step Recovery along
with process groups to address communication skills, relationship
expectations and other significant issues pertinent to individual
situations. An Alanon meeting is provided to familiarize loved ones
with the 12 -Step recovery process and to afford them the opportunity
to benefit from their own recovery program. The Family Program is
facilitated by Certified Masters Level Therapists.
Relapse Prevention
The RELAPSE TRACK is
a treatment track designed for patients who have been unable to
maintain recovery despite previous treatment. The
Relapse Track
offers a different approach to self-discovery. Patients take a deeper
look at underlying causes of their relapse. Therapy also is focused
on helping the patient to develop skills in dealing with emotional
problems, family-of-origin issues, anger, shame, and low self-esteem.
Treatment Modalities
Referrals
Appropriate referrals for evaluation
include adults age 25
and above who have experienced previous treatment and/or 12-Step based
recovery followed by relapse.
Case Management
Each resident is assigned a case manager to assist the individual in
developing a treatment plan specific to their individual needs. The
case manager monitors the residents’ progress in treatment and uses
these observations along with input from the resident to develop an
appropriate discharge plan. This plan will be designed to maximize the
opportunity for lifelong recovery.
