Residential drug rehab programs and alcohol treatment centers like Cirque Lodge, also called therapeutic communities, use psychosocial rehabilitation to ensure a safe place for the residents to focus purely on their recovery without having to deal with the demands of every day life. It makes way for the crucial time to step back from ones life, reassess and take the opportunity to heal when first starting on the road to recovery.

Durations of residential drug treatment stays may be anywhere from thirty days to one year with averages of about ninety days. Some facilities are what is known as a "lock down" facility and do not allow the clients to leave. Cirque Lodge is not a lock down residential facility and if the clients choose to leave they can, even if it is against clinical advice.

The Need for Residential Drug Treatment

Most addicts, in the beginning, try to stop using several times on their own. However, these attempts are most often met with failure because the odds of attaining long-term sobriety by oneself are very slim. While it is noted that success rates depend upon each person and his or her willingness and commitment to recovery, residential drug and alcohol rehabs provide a time and a place to learn and gain the tools necessary in maintaining a sober life. Research has proven over and over again that there are long lasting effects of drug and alcohol use on the brain. Because of this, recommended are alcohol abuse rehabs that are residential. They provide long lasting sobriety, especially for those with a history of chronic relapse.

Here at the Cirque Lodge alcohol rehab center, new life skills are taught by our intensive alcohol and drug treatment program. Cognitive rehabilitative therapy takes place through process groups and information rich lectures that held on a daily basis. The Disease Concept lecture explains the disease of drug addiction. Individual counseling with certified clinical therapists are scheduled twice weekly. Behaviors which lead to drug and alcohol use, commonly known as "triggers", are identified and then new coping skills are learned so relapse won't occur.
