The focus at Cirque Lodge is the personalized treatment of the alcoholic/addict.  While individuals suffer from the common malady of addiction, their vulnerabilities can be very different. A rigorous assessment is used to determine the needs of the individual. Professional tests and diagnosis is used in determining these needs. This is then used to lay out a treatment plan for that individual.  These needs can vary depending on emotional, psychological and behavioral factors.

Also taken into account are other factors the individual is dealing with. A psychiatric disorder is addressed with dual diagnosis programming. Personalized therapies are also used in addressing trauma or dealing with grief. Personalized care strives to bring awareness to these vulnerabilities and to address them with proper therapies and recovery programs.

Each client is assigned a personal counselor during their treatment stay. Counselors meet with clients during the week in addition to normal programming for one-on-one counseling sessions. They oversee the treatment plan and see to it that each client is receiving appropriate care for their needs.  Addiction and alcoholism is a complex and aggregate issue. A personalized approach to alcohol or drug rehab can help to provide the individual with care they specifically require.

Lectures and workshops are used to better educate the addict on drug abuse, alcoholism and addiction. The individual may be unaware of what their abuse is doing to their central nervous system or their behavior.

Also addressed are different influences and behaviors that are a result of this type of substance abuse.  Upon completion of treatment, it is our hope that each individual has a full understanding of the nature of addiction and what is needed for recovery.

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.
