Beginning the 12-steps in Rehab
At Cirque Lodge, residents begin the recovery process with a personalized alcohol and drug rehab program. As a 12-step facility, our residents receive treatment that has a foundation on that philosophy. People are in addiction treatment for just a short time. This isn’t time long enough for really working through the 12-step process. At Cirque Lodge, we focus on a solid foundation of the initial work of the 12-steps. We use a caring drug rehab program and the healing of nature to assist with this.
The beginning steps focus on making connections to one’s higher power. At Cirque Lodge, we offer a number of venues and programs to help our clients make such connections. A balance of outdoor activities utilizes nature as a tool for establishing such a connection. As a part of these activities residents are allowed some alone time where they can focus and meditate. On the mountain, surrounded by the wonders of the earth, one can find the connection to a power greater than their own.
The 12-steps are spiritually based. People suffering from alcohol and drug addiction usually are spiritually at a low point. Using nature and similar activities can help to provide spiritual experiences that have a profound impact on the recovery of that individual. After drug rehab is completed, the safety and control of the facility is removed, and people once again must face impulses of addiction on their own. The connection to a higher power can be the means to a stronger resolve for long term sobriety.
