Cirque Lodge uses the 12-step program in helping individuals address their problems with alcoholism. This programming is typically spiritually based, and we work with residents in alcohol rehab in reconnecting spiritually. This can be misconceived as religious rehab. At Cirque, we don’t focus on any religion foundation. We allow our residents in alcohol and drug rehab to make spiritual connections in whatever manner they need. We then make this the focus for that individual’s recovery process. We even use concepts of Native American spirituality and the power of nature to help those in alcohol rehab to make such connections.

Part of the 12-step concepts is to help individuals suffering with alcoholism in having spiritual experiences. Having such experiences does not happen overnight. It is a process as the individual makes steps towards recovery. In an alcohol rehab setting, we use a number of different activities and therapies to allow the alcoholic to obtain such experiences on their own. We surround residents with nature and the mountain. This setting is conducive to spiritual experiences and connecting to one’s higher power.
