The disease of alcoholism isn't something that is cured, or even fixed. The central nervous system is permanently altered by the conditions of addiction. A person must develop skills to maintain abstinence and manage their impulses to drink. Alcohol treatment at Cirque Lodge provides many different programs and activities to instill these skills for the recovery process. Cirque is founded on the 12-step program and these concepts are used in addressing alcoholism and recovery.

12-step Recovery Plan

Alcohol treatment and recovery at Cirque Lodge is patterned around the concepts of the 12-step program. The 12-steps and the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous are the predominant form of recovery elements used in alcohol rehab programs to date. The Cirque program is built around helping residents begin the recovery process by establishing a solid foundation of this approach. The first step can be the hardest for the alcoholic; admitting that there is a problem and that life has become unmanageable. An alcohol treatment help plan is used on a personalized basis to help the resident understand they are alcoholic. This is followed with caring support.

A concept of the 12-step program is that alcoholism is a self developed disease or brain sickness. A part of the Cirque Lodge alcohol treatment care plan is to better educate the alcoholic on the disease of addiction, as well as its resulting behaviors. A number of lectures and workshops are used in educating on the disease of addiction. Activities are then introduced to residents to show them ways to manage their disease and impulses to use. A number of guest lecturers and visiting experts offer their expertise in educating Cirque residents on the nature and condition of alcoholism.

Connecting to a Higher Power

After establishing the first step, the mountain alcohol treatment recovery plan focuses on continuing the steps with rehab. Since an alcohol or drug rehab stay isn't enough time to get through all the steps, residents works to have a solid foundation on the initial 2-3 steps of the recovery process. Steps 2 and 3 are focused on making connections to a higher power, and turning over their will to that higher power. Some may feel that these steps involve some sort of religion. At Cirque, we allow residents to focus on their own concepts of a higher power. Residents are even given the chance to find their higher power in nature or within the spirit of the mountain.

During an alcohol rehab stay, residents are given many opportunities to get out onto the mountain and to connect or reconnect with their higher power. Nature seems to amplify this connection. The peace and serenity that are felt here can have a significant impact. With a mountain experiential therapy activity, like the Cirque Lodge helicopter, residents are given a chance to go off by themselves and meditate. They can work on turning their will over to a power greater than their own. Such a connection is needed in dealing with some of the more difficult aspects to the 12-steps, and in maintaining long term and successful sobriety.

Continuing the Recovery Process

In no time at all, the experience of alcohol rehab comes to an end. Since alcoholism isn't something that can be cured, the alcoholic must continue to work at their sobriety. The initial months can be tough and continuing to work the 12-steps can be a vital form of relapse prevention. With time, sobriety becomes a second nature, however it does take time. Involvement with Alcoholics Anonymous and similar 12-step fellowships can provide the support that is needed for the recovery process.
