Drug addiction treatment requires a unique dynamic. Each individual can be struggling and dealing with the issue in a completely different way. You are also dealing with different personalities, opinions and behaviors within what is a very diverse disease. The Cirque Lodge approach is to provide drug addiction treatment through a balanced program. This consists of a wide dynamic of clinical, traditional and experiential pieces. The focus is firstly to arrest the disease of addiction, and secondly provide the needed support for an early recovery.

This balanced program begins with the needs of the individual. At Cirque Lodge, a rigorous assessment and professional clinical approach is used in determining these needs. A treatment plan is created to address them with a proper course and balance of therapy and rehabilitation programming.  These elements are carried out in a personal, group, as well as family environment. The plan is continually tailored to help the individual with addiction treatment and recovery. Some individuals can make great progress initially in drug rehab, others can struggle. The individualized approach provides tracking and care to help with progress and addressing underlying concerns or struggles.

The balance of experiential programming is a very effective piece to drug addiction treatment at Cirque Lodge. The treatment day has elements of traditional and clinical rehabilitation programming. Combined into this is a different experiential activity each day. Some days are spent out on the mountain. Other days can be had working with horses, participating in art programs, or with the challenge of our ropes course. These activities bring with them an education on the behaviors of addiction and skills for the recovery process.  They also help in easing some of the struggles by providing fun and therapeutic activities for body, mind and spirit.

Recovery from alcoholism or drug addiction is a process. After drug rehab is completed, an individual must continue to work at their sobriety. This can be a struggle and relapse is always a reality. Cirque Lodge offers a guesting privilege to those who have completed alcohol or drug rehab with us. This privilege allows the alumni to return and refocus within the safety of our addiction treatment facility.

The Guesting Privilege is a free of charge opportunity for the graduates of the Cirque Lodge drug rehab facility. It is a privilege that allows them to return to the facility for up to 96 hours of additional care. This is a life time opportunity, so whether the individual is newly out of rehab, or has been sober for some time, they can return and refocus their efforts on recovery. This privilege is only available to those alumni who have remained sober and is based upon room availability and the discretion of our clinical staff. 

The Guesting Privilege can be utilized in different ways as well. It is not just for those who are struggling with their sobriety (though it is the main purpose for the privilege). In the past we have had alumni use this privilege to celebrate a milestone in their recovery. Others use it as a way to stay in touch with the facility and a way to rekindle their flame. At the Cirque, we are continually looking for ways to help our clients and alumni achieve and maintain the joys of sober living.
