Recovery from drug addiction is a process and not an event. Individuals struggling with drug addiction have got to put forth a tremendous amount of effort to resist and overcome the impulses to use drugs. They are never alone in their endeavors. The right alcohol or drug rehabilitation program can begin the process to recovery. Following rehab, help and support is available for those difficult times of need. At Cirque Lodge, we strive to arm each resident with the right tools in their arsenal for a lasting sobriety. The recovery process is not a perfect one. For some, it can take more than one stay in drug rehab. Our dedicated staff is committed to helping every individual to find what is needed to overcome the difficulties of drug abuse and addiction.

Treating Addiction in Drug Rehab

The most important element in a drug rehabilitation setting is treating the individual for their addiction. Before they can overcome it, they must first learn to understand the addiction. Therapy and programs are used to help the individual come to terms with what addiction is, and how it impacts their lives and the lives of those around them. At Cirque, there it is a drug rehabilitation program with a balanced therapy. The program is also personalized to provide particular attentions to each individual. People can be struggling with more things than using drugs. Psychiatric and emotional issues always come into play with addiction.

The personalized addiction treatment approach provides therapies for the specific needs of the resident. As a dual diagnosis facility, we can treat underlying conditions such as psychiatric disorder and eating disorders with treatment and therapy. Ample one-on-one therapy, with a licensed and caring counselor, is provided for each resident according to their needs. Group therapies are also provided to help individuals find support. We also offer a family program to build support in the home. These are tools for a lasting sobriety found with drug rehab and rehabilitation elements.

Strategies for Recovery

Recovery from drug addiction can take time. The influences that are imprinted in the brain to use drugs don't go away. People must learn how to live each day with a focus on staying clean and sober. Part of the Cirque Lodge addiction treatment program is to give the individual strategies for coping and tools to help the through the difficult times. The use of experiential therapy provides practice at some of these coping strategies. It instructs individuals in a number of things, including ways to focus spiritually. Cirque Lodge is a 12-step facility and part of drug rehab is to establish connections to a higher power. The experiential program uses the power of nature to establish such connections.

Probably the biggest strategy and tool an individual has for the recovery process is the 12-step program. It provides a guideline for what is needed to achieve lasting sobriety. The 12-step process begins in drug rehabilitation at Cirque and then is continued through the efforts of 12-step groups in the outside world. Alcohol and drug addiction wants to isolate and be in charge. Support from others can be influential. That is what 12-step meetings bring is needed support. Most groups will assign a sponsor to help during the initial months of the recovery process. People must realize they are never alone. There are always fellow alcoholics and addicts that can lift them up when they are down.

Continuing Drug Rehab for a Lasting Drug Rehab

After someone leaves a drug rehab program, they must still continue to work at their sobriety. Prior to leaving our facility, each resident is prepared a continuing care plan. This consists of elements that continue the efforts of drug rehab on an outpatient basis. Our aftercare staff works with each resident to help them prepare this plan to meet their needs. Center to this plan is enrollment in a 12-step program. Our aftercare staff will work with each resident to find the best continuing care elements that are within the resident's community.

Cirque also has a number of elements to help our alumni along the way. We have a guesting privilege where clients can return for a few days and recharge their batteries. Alumni can also return to our drug rehabilitation center and participate in one of our family programs, lectures and workshops. Every year our alumni return for our annual reunion, full of speaker meetings, activities, and delicious food. We strive to stay in touch with our alumni and make sure they are continuing their efforts on sobriety.

Recovery is up to the individual. At Cirque Lodge, we strive to prepare each resident to go forward in an effort that helps them achieve a lasting sobriety. However, relapse happens, and people must refocus their efforts. The drug rehab program at Cirque Lodge is here to help those who can not help themselves, with a caring staff and a life changing experience.
