The final day of Family Week at Cirque Lodge begins with a workshop on aftercare.  Time spent in alcohol or drug rehab is just the beginning of a life of sober living. Initially, this can be a difficult process to start. The aftercare workshop helps the residents and their family to better understand continuing treatments and support for the recovery process.

There are many forms of aftercare that can benefit the alcoholic/addict in recovery. The key point being that the individual pursues these things after they leave the safety of the rehabilitation facility. Many individuals move into a secondary facility, like a halfway house or sober living home after treatment. Outpatient programs, therapists and support groups are also available to the recovering individual. Many find needed support through continuing the 12-step program through fellowships like Alcoholics Anonymous.

The aftercare lecture also addresses the family and the recovery programs that are available to them. Family works their own 12-step program as well. These individuals can find support through programs like Al-anon, which is a program geared specifically for family members and loved ones of alcoholics and addicts.  The family can work at recovery together with the help and support of such programs. It can make the home environment more conducive to the recovery process and the goals of a life long sobriety.

At Cirque Lodge, an effective balance goes into addiction treatment and drug rehab. It begins with the needs of the individual. Each client is rigorously assessed prior to treatment. This is used to create an individualized treatment plan for them. In personalizing the treatment plan, each individual is provided with one-on-one therapy sessions with a licensed counselor and family sessions during our Family Program. This is platform for dealing with some of the personal and traumatic problems that addiction can have a hand in.

Support is introduced through differing group based therapies and 12-step recovery programs. The residents of our facilities function as a community. Counselors and staff are also available for support when needed. The balance of group elements can be workshops all the way to more intensive therapies. Members of the group can focus on supporting the individual in their times of struggle.

A different type of treatment and recovery work is balanced into all of this. The more intensive and traditional forms of rehabilitation are combined with the unique and enjoyable experiential activities offered at Cirque Lodge. Each day, residents have the opportunity to participate in a different activity. These fun and engaging elements are used to teach recovery concepts and skills for self management. Shaping pottery, flying in a helicopter, swinging from a giant pendulum swing, and even working with horses are all used to teach lessons of recovery.

There is a unique balance to Cirque Lodge. It is the balance of the traditional, intensive and experiential that has helped many find a means to long term recovery.

Family members play an integral role in their loved ones recovery process. However, the family member may not be aware of how they can do this. Good intentions can also be an enabling behavior. Alcohol and drug rehab at Cirque is for more than the individual. It is also for their loved ones. When an alcoholic/addict enters rehab at the Cirque, their family is also invited to attend our specialized program for families.  It is a fairly frequent program that occurs every three weeks of the treatment cycle.

Family Week consists of a lot of things. It is four days filled with workshops, fun experiential activities, specialized groups and therapy sessions. With this programming the family can be better educated on the nature of addiction and how they can help through the recovery process. Personalized sessions are used to help the family tear down the walls that were built up by the addiction and to begin healing. This can be difficult for some, but ultimately can be extremely therapeutic and a foundation for continuing recovery.

Sometimes getting a loved one into a treatment program for alcohol or drug addiction is easier said than done. Alcoholics and addicts can go to extreme lengths to protect their using. The thought of rehab is met with a lot of resistance.  Planning an intervention can be an effective measure in addressing their loved ones issues and addiction problems. Cirque Lodge works with a number of leading intervention services.  It is recommended to use a professional interventionist in helping a loved one.

A professional intervention provides most of all experience. Most professionals have intervened on countless individuals with substance abuse problems. They have witnessed the many different reactions that can happen when an intervention is performed. Intervention also brings planning and is carried out with motivation and love. Individuals can share their feelings and fears when it comes to substance abuse and entering rehab.  Hopefully, the alcoholic/addict agrees to treatment after an intervention is performed. The use of an intervention service can greatly increase the chance of this happening.

Most intervention services also provide far more than just performing the intervention. According to individual needs, they can recommend an appropriate facility. Many provide monitoring for the family while their loved one is in alcohol or drug rehab. They also can provide therapy and aftercare services for individuals after they leave rehab. If someone in your life is struggling with alcoholism or drug addiction, intervention can provide a foundation for treatment and beginning the recovery process.

Sometimes getting away from the situation is what is needed to overcome the struggles of alcoholism or drug addiction.

Residents of the facility function as a community. They can work together as they undertake different elements of the recovery process, as well as different challenges of experiential learning. As a community, residents can also help to support one another as they take the steps towards successful sobriety. Members of staff are also available around the clock to provide support, therapy and care.

People have a lot of different ideas when it comes to treatment in an alcohol or drug rehab. Working with horses usually isn’t one of them. At the Cirque Lodge, this is very much a reality. As a part of our unique experiential program, residents have the chance to learn profound lessons on recovery. Some experiential work involves horses and what we like to call “equine therapy”. Time spent with the horses can be a very eye opening endeavor. It can teach the recovering alcoholic/addict behavioral things that can be used as tools for sobriety.

Equine therapy can be quite the process as well. Some individuals have never even seen a horse, let alone have ever interacted with one. Horses are also naturally creatures of flight and acutely aware. The bigger, stronger and faster animal is not always will to obey commands. The process of gaining the trust of the horses can be a difficult one at first. Our horse trainers are there every step of the way to work with residents and help them in establishing trust with the horse. When a connection is made, this can develop into a powerful bond. The individual learns a different way to present themselves, communicate and ask for help.

Equine therapy is just a small part to our powerful experiential piece to drug rehab. Horses, the mountain, a ropes course and even art/pottery are used to teach recovery lessons. When this is balanced into the more traditional forms of alcohol and drug rehab, you have unique and effective program. It is an experience that can be a foundation for long term recovery.

Just shortly before leaving alcohol or drug rehab at Cirque Lodge, a client begins to make preparations for the recovery process. The aftercare department works with the client in preparing a Continuing Care Plan.  This is the plan of action for recovery. It involves additional programs, therapy and sober elements to help during the initial months after rehab. There are many forms of programs and recovery efforts available. Aftercare helps clients to find programs that are close to home that can help them with relapse prevention.

Many clients choose to stay local and remain close to the Cirque Lodge facility. The Studio hosts a number of outside 12-step meetings and even an aftercare meeting each week. Cirque Lodge associates with a number of local sober living houses and recovery programs. Aftercare works with each client in making the right decisions in continuing recovery efforts close to Cirque Lodge.

Central to all of this is continuing the work of the 12-step program. Alcohol and drug rehab begins the process of recovery. It is the efforts of the individual in working the 12-steps that helps them find a lasting sobriety. The Continuing Care Plan also stresses an active involvement in a 12-step fellowship. Aftercare works with each client in finding the 12-step groups within their communities prior to leaving rehab. The initial months of recovery can be the most critical. Following the Continuing Care Plan can be an influential piece to relapse prevention.

All individuals are different.  We all have different hope and fears, as well as different struggles in life.

Cirque Lodge uses a personalized approach to its recovery program. This is a program that is geared to meet individual’s needs and address their struggles in a caring and therapeutic manner.

There are many things that can be fuels to substance abuse. Psychiatric disorders, social disorders, trauma, and grief can all be at the heart of chemical dependency. Personalizing an alcohol or drug rehab program can help the individual in addressing these problems in their lives. It can show them ways to cope and deal with these conditions without the use of addictive substances. At Cirque Lodge, we use one-on-one therapies for addressing the more personal elements of addiction struggles. Group therapies are then used to supply support for the recovery process.

Each individual can also require different levels of care.  Some may instantly take to the drug rehab program and others may be a struggle. Some can require a lot of personalized clinical care and one-on-one time for addressing their struggles, while another may find what they need from attending 12-step meetings.  At Cirque Lodge, the program is tailored constantly to address individual’s needs as they begin the recovery process. It is a program that seeks to meet individual’s needs through thorough assessment and bevy of treatment modalities.
