They can become very protective of their drinking habit. Meanwhile, life around them spins further and further out of control. When trying to help them, you are met with resistance. It’s painful and so draining to you and your family. You need to get them help, but how? The mention of alcohol rehab or drug rehab is met with argument.

Personalized, Effective Alcohol and Drug Rehab

Personalized and Effective Drug Rehab FacilityIn treating the disease of addiction, you are dealing with individuals. Although there are similarities in addictions, there are also very distinct differences. At Cirque Lodge, we focus on providing personalized and effective alcohol and drug rehab, to meet the specific needs of the individual. This is done by preparing a personalized treatment plan to meet these needs. A rigorous assessment process is used to determine the best course of action. The treatment plan is designed based upon this assessment process.

The balance to alcohol and drug rehab offers an effective approach to recovery, hope and healing. A structured treatment day provides personal, group, and family elements for overcoming alcohol and drug addiction. This is also balanced with experiential activities that provide growth and teach imperative recovery skills. Experiential activities uses the outdoor and nature to facilitate healing, as well as provide vital spiritual life changing experiences.

Recovery is a process, not an event. After alcohol and drug rehab is completed, one can still be faced with difficult challenges with addiction. At Cirque Lodge, we continue to be a part of the recovery process. Each client is prepared a continuing care plan. This based upon their requirements and needs for aftercare upon completion of addiction treatment. Alumni relations and aftercare follow up with clients in recovery to ensure they have the help and support they need for long term sobriety.

Drug Rehab Building with Activities

Low Ropes Experiential ExerciseThe Studio facility of Cirque Lodge is home to our indoor ropes course. It is housed inside a 17,000 foot sound stage. Usually, when you think a Ropes course, you think of climbing and scaling obstacles high up in the air. At Cirque Lodge we also use team building and communication exercises in our ropes course. These are known as ‘low ropes’ events. Cirque is known for our experiential program. It enhances and builds on the effectiveness of the treatment from our alcohol and drug rehab program.

The low ropes activities help to build different elements. Many of these are team exercises, where the group must work together to accomplish the feat. These can me instrumental at helping build lines of communication. People in drug rehab can be struggling with things. Activities like this can help them make breakthroughs in communicating their feelings. After each activity, there is a lesson to be learned. The experiential staff has a sit down and discusses the positives of the activity, and what each individual learned about them in the exercise.

Group activities such as these also help to build support. Support is valuable when it comes to alcohol and drug addiction recovery. Support helps to build strength. Individuals who aren’t used to leading a group can find themselves as the vocal leader with one of these experiential activities. Others can realize how much they need the help of others in their lives. With alcohol and drug addiction, the central nervous system can have problems; the frontal lobe is affected. These activities can also help to rebuild the thought process that is damaged over years of alcohol and drug abuse.

Addiction Treatment – 12-steps, Cirque Lodge

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

The Joy of RecoveryAddiction treatment at Cirque Lodge is founded upon the 12-step approach to alcohol and drug addiction. While most individuals are only in alcohol and drug rehab for a short period of time (not long enough to work many of the steps.) The focus of treatment is to establish a solid foundation of the initial steps of the 12-step approach, and to give a solid foundation on the concepts of recovery. Most times when a person leaves drug rehab, additional help is needed. The role of 12-step meetings and support groups play an integral part in recovery at that point.

The initial steps of the 12-step approach deal with finding a connection to a power greater than one’s own. We have created a number of venues where such a connection can be made. Addiction treatment extends beyond the therapy wall and reaches out to nature to provide this connection. Cirque Lodge clients have a number of opportunities to experience the healing of the nature, as well as the power that comes from the spirit of the mountain. A connection to a higher power can make a difference in the success of recovery process and working the 12-steps. It can greatly ease many of the pains and burdens that arise throughout the recovery process.

Dual Diagnosis Drug Treatment at the StudioSometimes, the drug addiction isn’t the only problem. Many individuals also are suffering from other diagnosed mood and psychiatric conditions. Disorders like depression or anxiety can have a heavy hand in developing an addiction. People oftentimes will turn to drugs or to alcohol to self medicate away the problems caused by the disorder. Cirque Lodge is a dual diagnosis drug rehab facility. During a drug treatment stay, therapies are provided to treat the addiction and disorder simultaneously.

The drug treatment program is individualized to provide the best results. For individuals who are struggling with a disorder, the program is designed specifically to help them with both issues. Ample amounts of personal, one-on-one therapy is provided from licensed professionals. A psychiatric evaluation is also part of the admission process. Individuals can be affected by a mood disorder, and not be aware. Evaluations throughout drug treatment are available to diagnose such conditions.

Addiction and psychiatric conditions are very similar. They are problems that don’t go away. They require daily management, and some days are better than others. Treatment for both conditions introduces coping strategies. These are elements that can be utilized in times of struggle. At Cirque Lodge, our drug rehab facility uses a unique balance of activities and programs to introduce a bevy of coping strategies. It used to be that people who suffered from co-occurring conditions required two separate facilities to receive appropriate care. Now with dual diagnosis, drug treatment and psychiatric care is available in one facility.

Using Yoga in Drug Rehab

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

A Yoga Class in Drug RehabThe alcohol and drug rehab program at Cirque Lodge consists of a number of elements. By providing a bevy of treatment options, each client can discover for themselves what they need for healing and recovery. The practice of yoga is not your standard drug rehab therapy, but has shown a very positive result as a form of activity for overcoming addiction. Yoga is so much more than an exercise. It is a practice and a way of lifestyle. The ancient art of yoga is the practice of balancing body mind and spirit. Alcoholism and drug addiction can take a life completely out of balance. Once in rehab, the practice of yoga can help to regain this balance.

Practicing yoga can also work wonders in reducing stress. When people come into a drug rehab program, they are struggling in a number of ways. Coming off of drugs can bring a lot of unwanted stress. This can make it hard to sleep even. Part of yoga is learning deep relaxation and meditation techniques. These are relaxation techniques that can help to lessen the stress caused by withdrawal.

Yoga can also be used as a recovery strategy. After leaving alcohol or drug rehab, involvement in a yoga class can be used as a tool for staying sober. Recovery is a one day at a time thing. Attending a yoga class can be a daily reinforcement towards the goal of long term sobriety.
