Philosophy

We believe chemical dependency is a primary illness. We also believe personal acceptance of addiction and taking responsibility for recovery are key in long-term abstinence. It is important for each recovering addict to develop an understanding and insight into his or her addiction and make behavioral changes.  Our philosophy is that these attitudes and behavioral changes can be facilitated through involvement in group therapy, life skills training, individual counseling, psycho-education and family counseling. In addition, it is a priority of this program’s philosophy to engage identified family members in the treatment process. This is accomplished through a family education program and connecting those individuals with community self-help programs such as Al-Anon.
