Active Addiction Treatment Program

An active addiction treatment program is a helpful piece to Cirque Lodge. We provide all the effective forms of treatment, therapy and care for the disease of addiction. We also provide activities and elements to help individuals recover physically from their addiction struggles. Cirque Lodge is a nationally recognized and health care accredited drug rehab facility in Sundance Utah. Time here in the mountains can provide an effective recovery experience. For more information, help or support call 1-877-99-REHAB today.

One thing we ask individuals who wish to come to the Lodge for treatment is that they be physically capable to take part in all elements of program. Mountain activities play a part in the recovery process here. We understand that residents can struggle with this due to their addictions. Varying levels of physical elements are provided. As the beginner improves in these activities, and also the recovery process, more challenging exercises are presented. A new resident can start with walks along the river. This can improve into a climbing or more challenging activity used in our addiction treatment experience later on.

Nutrition in Addiction Treatment

Part of having an active addiction treatment program is by providing the right elements of nutrition. Cirque offers a delicious culinary experience to our residents. The underlying element of these gourmet meals is well balanced nutrition. Years of abusing alcohol or seeking drugs can suppress the need to properly eat. This can leave the alcoholic/addict in a physical disrepair. In an alcohol rehab or drug rehab setting, nutrients can help in rebuilding the physical strengths and structures of the individual.

A part of our culinary program is to be sensitive to individual's dietary needs. Individuals can have very specific dietary needs. Our culinary staff can prepare proper alternative meals to meet these needs, with notification. Three well rounded meals are provided residents each day. In addition, healthy snacks and drinks are also available in the kitchen throughout the day. These elements can help to supply the body with needed nutrients and the building blocks for physical recovery.

Exercise at Cirque Lodge

Elements of exercise are also provided within the Cirque Lodge inpatient addiction treatment program. This can help in rebuilding the body physically from the damages of addiction. The Lodge facility has its own private exercise facilities. Residents at the Studio work out at a close by Gold's Gym. Time each day is available in the morning and afternoon to get in some exercise. This is not required of clients, but those who wish to are given the opportunity. Exercise is also a solid recovery activity that can positively help in the long run.

For residents in a lengthier treatment stay, a wellness program is available. Residents in extended care can take part an exercise program that tracks and helps them with progress. Personal trainers work with clients through varying parts of a circuit training workout. Studies are being done on the positives of exercise for those in recovery. Regular exercise can replace the reward feelings that feeding the addiction once brought. Only this reward is a much healthier alternative.

Experiential Work in Addiction Treatment

A unique part of our active addiction treatment program is our experiential therapies. We use things like hikes, mountain biking, river rafting, snow shoeing and climbing in a ropes course as a part of our alcohol and drug rehab program. These things can require some physical effort. Many of these activities take place in the beautiful backdrop of the local mountains. It can be a needed release from the more therapeutic elements of a caring addiction treatment program, and also provide needed exercise to residents.

Experiential activities also teach lessons for the recovery process. Exercises and team building activities always come with a lesson at the end. Many experiential elements challenge the addictive mindset, or provide spiritual enlightenment for the soul. Residents can go on a mountain hike and reach a location. Once there, they can find a quiet spot for meditation, and even our experiential staff member will share concepts and lessons of recovery.

Helping with Recovery

The balance of intensive therapies and an effective addiction treatment program provides an effective recovery experience. The clinical portion is utilized in treating the mind and helping the soul. The active elements are effective in addressing the alcoholic/addict's physical needs. All in all, the individual looks and feels far much better when successfully complete the treatment program. Continuing the recovery process and continuing physical activities are a strong foundation for a lasting and meaningful sobriety.
