Overcoming the disease of alcoholism is a struggle.  For some wishing to overcome those problems, the struggle is lessened with a caring facility and alcohol treatment program. At Cirque Lodge, this is taken to a whole new level with fine facilities, caring staff and life changing experiences. A thorough treatment program is utilized to arrest the disease. This includes personal therapies that take deeper looks into the alcohol abuse problem, as well as other underlying factors.

Each resident of the Cirque Lodge facilities is surrounded by a supportive and caring staff.  Residents work personally with staff throughout the alcohol treatment stay. Through the staff, a resident can find caring support for all the problems and struggles that arise from taking on a sober lifestyle. There are times when this can be a real struggle. Caring staff members are always available to help with these struggles, provide support, and meet individual’s needs.

Life changing experiences can come when the alcoholic really involves themselves in the recovery program. Not all of alcohol treatment at Cirque Lodge takes place in the confines of a therapy room or support group. The recovering alcoholic has a chance to get out into nature and discover the healing of the mountain. An experiential activity helps to make the rehab process more fun and provides needed lessons in recovery strategies. The fears and pains of alcohol abuse are replaced with positive developments and joys of sober living.

When individuals are admitted into the Cirque Lodge program, they are assigned a primary counselor for their stay. Counselors work personally with our residents and help them with proper treatments and therapies. At Cirque, alcohol treatment and drug rehab is provided by licensed professionals. Primary counselors are licensed in the field of addiction treatment and in performing caring therapies. They provide residents one-on-one help on a personal and confidential level.

The process of alcohol treatment can be very difficult at times. It means giving up something that has an emotional and psychological attachment to individual. A caring counselor can help in providing support and direction for the recovery process. Treatment and therapy also is needed in addressing some of the underlying problems that can have a hand in addiction. Counselors are experienced in dealing with trauma, grief and co-occurring psychiatric conditions.

Alcohol treatment is tailored to meet individual needs, and to help residents very specifically. A caring counselor is involved throughout the individual’s stay at Cirque Lodge. They strive to exceed every expectation with therapy, support and care. They are even involved in creating a plan for life after alcohol rehab. Cirque Lodge offers an effective and unique recovery program. It is the dedication and care of our staff that this so.

Cirque offers dual diagnosis to the alcoholic. A majority of individuals that we treat can also be diagnosed as having a form of co-occurring disorder, like depression, bi polar, anxiety or eating disorders. Alcohol treatment is tailored to address the conditions of addiction, as well as therapy and care for the disorder. Each individual in alcohol and drug rehab works personally through their own specific program. Our psychiatric professional meets regularly with all residents to help them with their dual diagnosis needs.

Dual diagnosis is an effective approach to individuals who are unaware they even have such a condition. Once in alcohol treatment, they experience emotions and feelings they have never experienced; mainly because these were masked by the constant drinking. An advantage of dual diagnosis is that we can properly diagnose and treat the individual for their condition. All the while they are receiving proper therapy, care and support for their alcoholism problem. Both conditions require coping strategies for the initial months of recovery. Cirque’s balanced program provides many avenues for developing skills for this process.

For individuals who are suffering with a drinking problem and alcoholism, perhaps getting away from the situation is an effective step. Cirque Lodge invites those who are struggling with the bottle to come away to the mountains. The peace and serenity of the mountains can be a needed change from the chaos and stress of normal life. This chaos and stress can be a trigger to the drinking problem. Cirque Lodge is a private and exclusive alcohol treatment and drug rehab facility. We are committed to helping the alcoholic with the highest levels of care.

Caring staff members are available around the clock to meet residents’ needs. We feel our staff is one of the main reasons Cirque Lodge is a leading alcohol treatment facility. It is made up of a unique combination of clinical professionals, caring counselors, and individuals in successful recovery. It is a staff that is committed to helping the individual, as well as their family, with the highest levels of treatment, care and support. No matter the time of day, there is always a listening ear and professional counsel available.

A different approach we have to alcohol rehab is with the use of experiential therapies. We strive to provide the alcoholic with the experiences needed from long term and successful recovery. These experiences can invoke an internal change that replaces the influencing forces of seeking and abusing alcohol. Experiential programming also provides a hands on approach to addiction therapies. Residents aren’t just told how to find recovery; they experience it. We encourage the alcoholic who is struggling to make that call and discover the joy of a life free from alcoholism.

This morning began another family program here at Cirque Lodge. Residents in our alcohol treatment or drug rehab program are encouraged to invite their family members to attend. Alcoholism and alcohol abuse are far more than a personal problem. Family members can also be affected by the actions and erratic behaviors caused drinking. Family members can also be looking for help and support in dealing with their loved one’s addiction. Family Week is a place where that is found.

The opening day of Family Week programming usually consist of two elements. First is an introductions meeting. This is a place where family members sit in a session with each other (minus their loved ones who are in treatment), and discuss why they are attending Family Week. Cirque Lodge counselors run this introductions workshop. Covered in this workshop are lessons on codependency and enabling. Many family members are unaware of how their own behavior is contributing to a codependent relationship or enabling their loved one to drink.

In the afternoon, the family program provides a lecture on the disease concept of addiction. Family members can have misconceptions on their loved ones alcohol problem. This lecture helps to educate them on the nature of addiction and how the alcoholic reacts due to the significant changes to the chemical structure to the central nervous system. A local medical professional in the field of neurosciences provides this lecture that is filled information on this concept. It is a full day to begin family program to be sure. These elements can help to clear up some of the misconceptions that loved ones can have regarding alcoholism or drug addiction.

Residents suffering from an addiction to alcohol are treated to the very best in alcohol and drug rehab at Cirque Lodge. Once alcohol treatment is completed, however, they are again faced with many of the problems and triggers that have led to the drinking problem. Prior to leaving Cirque Lodge, each resident works with our aftercare staff in preparing a plan for the recovery process. Successful recovery takes a lot of effort and a personal commitment. The aftercare plan provides measures of additional help, therapy and support. These can be needed tools for the recovery process.

There are many of measures of help and support available to those who have recently completed an alcohol treatment program. For some, it is most advantageous to enroll in a sober living environment for a time. There are also counseling services and independent addiction therapists available to help individuals in recovery. Locally, Cirque Lodge offers an aftercare group for those who remain close to the facility. Those in recovery must understand they are never alone in their addiction. There is always help and support available.

Central to the Continuing Care Plan and a successful recovery is actively continuing the steps of the 12-step process. There are 12-step fellowships and Anonymous based recovery groups in virtually every community. They help those freshly in recovery with a surround of fellowship and support, and also provide them a sponsor to work with. Continued involvement and work at the 12-step process has helped millions find solutions for a lasting recovery. As said earlier, it is a process, it takes effort and isn’t always easy. However, active involvement in these types of recovery programs can be an influential piece in dealing with the drinking problem and long term sobriety.

Treatment for alcohol addiction usually begins with a period of detox. The body needs time to recover from the initial shock of no longer drinking. Medical detoxification is a part of alcohol treatment. Cirque Lodge does not offer detox services. We focus specifically on the treatments and therapies of alcohol and drug rehab. We are partnered with a local medical detoxification facility that focuses specifically on that service.

Detox is a two fold process. First is to grant the individual time away from drinking. This gives the body a chance to partially cleanse itself of alcohol and its harmful toxins in the body. The second purpose is to treat the individual medically for withdrawal. The shock of no longer drinking can have a very negative impact on the alcoholic. Withdrawal from alcohol can be quite severe, even life threatening. A medical detox facility can make a difference in life and death from alcohol withdrawal. They use treatments and medications to stabilize the body when withdrawal occurs. It is the first step to alcohol treatment.

The length of stay in detox depends on how long it takes for the body to stabilize. Individuals suffering from alcoholism usually require a longer time within the detox facility. When detox is a completed, a private vehicle from Cirque Lodge will transport the individual to our alcohol and drug rehab facility. Immediate enrollment in an alcohol treatment program is the best measure when detox for alcohol is completed.

For people who are struggling with alcoholism, a quiet time away in treatment can be the answer. With current situations and economic problems, people are struggling, losing jobs, and turning to drinking as a solution. The Cirque Lodge is a private drug rehab and alcohol rehab facility in the mountains of Sundance Utah. Our private mountain environment is an ideal venue for alcohol treatment and overcoming the problems of alcohol.

Alcohol treatment at Cirque Lodge is personalized to provide specific care for each individual. It is based on the 12-step program, and intensive therapies are used to help with the underlying issues of alcoholism. A unique balance of experiential activities utilize nature as a healing element. This is an alcohol rehab program that can help people come to terms with alcoholism, and change their life in ways to help them with long term sobriety.

When it is time to leave our alcohol rehab facility, the residents of Cirque Lodge are not left alone. We work with our residents to develop them a continuing care plan for the recovery process. The impulses to drink can take awhile to overcome. Even after alcohol rehab is successfully completed, relapse is still a very real possibility. The continuing care plan helps individuals to stay focused on the recovery process, and remember the alcohol treatment experience had in the mountains.

For individuals suffering from alcoholism, Cirque Lodge provides a caring alcohol treatment program. This program is personalized for each resident to provide them what they need from treatment.

Cirque Lodge offers a caring environment, with comfortable accommodations, a delicious culinary experience, and luxury style amenities. It is a healing environment for overcoming chemical dependency to alcohol.

Woven into our alcohol treatment program is experiential activity. We use activities like hiking, a ropes course, horses, and private helicopter flights to enhance the recovery process. Many experiential activities help to build coping strategies against the impulses to drink alcohol. As a 12-step facility, these activities help to provide spiritual experiences and a connection to ones higher power.

Upon completion of drug rehab or alcohol rehab, the resident is provided with a continuing care plan for recovery. This extends the efforts of the alcohol treatment program to other outpatient efforts, as well as 12-step support groups and meetings. Overcoming alcoholism can require help and support along the way. The Cirque Lodge is dedicated to helping you or your loved one with support and treatment needed for long term sobriety.

It can be a struggle when you have a loved with a drinking problem. An alcohol addiction is more than just damaging the individual. It affects all that they influence; family, friends, and employment. As a loved one, you want to help them, but may not know how. The problem can escalate when it is discussed. There is a stigma with alcohol addiction. People with drinking problems rarely feel like their drinking is a problem. Meanwhile, all that is around them seems to spin out of control. There is a way out of struggle. It begins with alcohol treatment from a drug rehab program.

At Cirque Lodge, we focus on providing a personalized program. This means specific treatment from the alcohol problem. This is an alcohol and drug rehab program that is balanced with personal, group and family treatments. The unique difference to alcohol treatment at the Cirque Lodge is our use of experiential activities. These are nature based activities that are used to enhance treatment, as well as the recovery process.

Cirque Lodge is founded on the 12-step program. Throughout alcohol treatment, clients have the opportunity to be involved in an AA program, work with sponsors, and attend support meetings. The experiential program also provides a venue for working 12-step recovery. This process can change your loved one for the better. It educates them on the dangers of alcohol addiction, and provides them answers to the problem.
