Effective Addiction Treatment Program

An effective addiction treatment program is a balance of many elements of rehabilitation. Individuals can be struggling in distinct ways, and can require a different avenue of care, or recovery program. At Cirque Lodge, alcohol and drug rehab is tailored to meet the needs of the individual. In addition, a number of different educational, rehabilitative and experiential elements are used in arresting the disease of addiction. Time at Cirque Lodge can be far more then just time in rehab. For those looking for answers for their addiction, their time spent here in the mountains can be a life changing experience.

Effective addiction treatment has got to be a number of things. Firstly, it has to do an effective job from a clinical standpoint. Rehabilitation efforts have got to put the disease of drinking or drug addiction into remission. These efforts have got to help the individual on a personal level, as well as address any underlying concerns or struggles. Addiction treatment must also be inviting and attractive. If the individual envisions themselves in the recovery process, chances are they are more likely to be a part of it all.

At Cirque Lodge, our inpatient addiction treatment program is very much a balance of intensive rehabilitation efforts, and fun and engaging activities. The intensive provides individuals with the clinical care and help needed in coming to terms with the addiction problem. Dual diagnosis is also used in helping diagnose and addressing additional psychiatric conditions or problems. All of this is balanced with experiential activities, nature and a 12-step recovery. These elements show the alcoholic/addict ways to have fun in the recovery process. It also helps with rebuilding the human spirit that can be destroyed through alcohol and drug abuse. These experiences can supply a solid foundation for the future.

Meeting the Needs of the Individual

It should go without saying that alcoholics and drug addicts need help. However, how they need help can be completely different. An effective addiction treatment program strives to meet the needs of the individual, and address their struggles on a personal and private level. Care and support are given to the individual in meeting their needs. At Cirque Lodge, clients are treated by a primary counselor who is assigned to them for their stay. Counselors are licensed professionals with a lot of experience. They are committed to providing the very best care and counseling services for clients.

Each resident also follows their own treatment plan during their stay. All elements are charted and used within this treatment plan. The addiction treatment rehab program is tailored to meet the needs of the individual. The alcohol and drug rehab program provides the help, support and services for clients. A rigorous assessment of the individual is used in addressing needs and in preparing a treatment plan. Personal one-on-one time is also provided clients in a therapy/counseling setting. Residents can come to grips with the underlying elements in their lives that are fueling their addiction behaviors.

Experiential Work and Recovery

A unique part to the residential addiction treatment program at Cirque Lodge is our use of experiential therapy. The use of recovery activities have shown to be an effective measure to the recovery process. Alcohol rehab and drug rehab facilities around the world are beginning to adopt concepts of experiential programming. This is hands on activities that teach concepts for the recovery process. At Cirque, we use many different indoor and outdoor activities as a part of the more traditional forms of alcohol or drug rehab.
Some elements of experiential therapy are used to challenge the mind and behavior of addiction. Our indoor ropes course is used for many different things. Some of these activities are intended to challenge these behaviors. Another unique element to our experiential program involves working with horses. This therapeutic activity can teach profound lessons on recovery. The client must learn how to establish boundaries and how to ask for help with things that are beyond their control. Some individuals can have a hard time learning or understanding with regular therapies. The hands on approach to experiential work can teach them in ways they never thought possible.

Experiential activities are also used in the recovery process. Spiritually, the alcohol/addict can be very low. For many, a reconnection spiritually is needed to overcome their addictive struggles. The experiential program at Cirque Lodge uses the mountains and nature to help individuals in establishing a spiritual reconnection. For each individual this connection is different. It doesn't necessarily have to be a religious thing. The experiential program helps individuals in connecting to a higher power through the serenity and majesty of the mountain.
