Disease Addiction Concept
At the Cirque Lodge, the addiction concept we adhere to is the traditional concept that addiction is the development of a mental disease or brain sickness. This is brought about by the abuse of alcohol and drugs, its interaction with the chemical structure of the central nervous system, and the behavioral changes that occur. Residents in our alcohol rehab and drug rehab program are educated on the nature and the behaviors of addiction, and how they affect everything around them.
The disease of addiction also does not go away. People who have developed an alcohol or drug addiction will be faced with this malady for the rest of their lives. Many instances have been had with individuals who have sober for a number of years relapsing once they were introduced to drugs and drinks again. The synapses in the brain that trigger the impulses of addiction are ever present. Residents of the Cirque Lodge addiction treatment facility are instructed on developing daily management, as well as the involvement of the 12-support programs for the recovery process.
12-step Drug Rehab Program
Most addiction treatment facilities that use this addiction concept are also founded upon the 12-step approach to recovery. At Cirque Lodge, we are founded on the 12-step program and use the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous as the guideline for treatment. As a 12-step drug rehab program, a recovery process is used within addiction treatment. The impulses of alcoholism and drug addiction do not go away. They do however lessen over time. Working the 12-steps helps individuals establish connections to things that can help them throughout this recovery process.
Recovery takes some time and individuals can struggle from time to time. The recovery process and the 12-step program provide individuals support for these times of struggle. A part of the drug rehab program at Cirque Lodge is developing a continuing plan for the recovery process. Our residents have programs in place to help them through the initial weeks and months of recovery. 12-step groups will use an addiction sponsor as a personal help through these initial months. Over time, the success of recovery can help the individual to become a sponsor for someone else beginning their own recovery process.
Lectures and Workshops in Drug Rehab
At Cirque Lodge, those within our
drug rehab facilities are educated on the nature of addiction. We provide lectures and workshops on the disease of addiction, as well as other concepts. Addiction is very much a behavioral dysfunction that is caused by a mental sickness. The result is erratic behavior and actions. Residents of our addiction treatment facility have a better understanding of their problems through the education of such lectures and workshops.

We use a number of visiting treatment professionals and addiction experts to provide unique and enjoyable lectures for our clients.
During our Family Week, lectures are provided to help family members better understand the disease concept of addiction. Family members can have a number of misconceptions about their loved ones behavior and actions. The disease concept lecture during Family Week provides insight into what is really going on in their loved one's head. There is also a lecture and workshop provided for the family on their imperative role through the recovery process. It can help the family see the importance and need for involvement in attending 12-step meetings, and how they can better provide support in the home.
Personalized Addiction Treatment
At Cirque Lodge, our
drug rehab facilities provide healing and are based upon the individual. While the disease of addiction can have a similar make up. The reason the addiction was developed can be very different. Each resident is personally treated with their own treatment plan and one-on-one therapy. Individuals can come to terms with their problems and make long term goals for successful sobriety. A number of treatment options make up the Cirque Lodge drug rehab program. However, addiction treatment is still based upon the progress and needs of the individual.
