			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img alt="Calling a Drug Rehab Center" src="http://www.cirquelodge.com/images/phonecall.jpg" class="alignleft" width="223" height="297" />When you are looking for treatment for yourself or a loved one it can be a daunting task. Calling a drug rehab center can be a good way to learn about what is offered by the program. It can greatly benefit you to be a questioning consumer when contacting addiction treatment providers about their services. Treatment programs and providers are prepared to answer your questions regarding alcohol and drug rehab care that they provide. Different services from a treatment provider and also facility can be a great help in determining in what is best. Residential programs can vary and asking questions can help you to better determine where to send your loved one or receive care for yourself. </p>
<p>There are a number of treatments and facilities out there that provide alcohol and drug rehab services. Programs provide different types of treatments depending on the facility and licensure. When calling an alcohol or drug rehab center, it can help to ask basic questions about the treatments that are provided, whether medical services are offered and about personalized care. A number of addiction treatment providers are also dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder treatment facilities. This means care is provided for mental health issues in conjunction with alcohol or drug treatment. This can be a benefit for those struggling with co-occurring disorders or those that could be diagnosed as having such.</p>
<p>It can also help to ask other addiction professionals and services about treatment providers. It can&#8217;t hurt to ask around about treatment facilities from other professionals that they work with. The best of providers will have positive recommendations from other professionals. A quality drug rehab program also has proper licensure, some have health care accreditation. These are things that can help you in searching for proper care for you or that person you care about.</p>
<p>At Cirque Lodge, we look forward to your call. A member of our admissions staff will answer any and all of your questions right over the phone and can even offer an assessment. Even if Cirque is not the place for you or your loved one, we are more than happy to point you in the right direction for recovery. Cirque Lodge is health care accredited by the Joint Commission, which holds us to a higher standard of clinical care and services for our clients. To us it is a bench mark to supplying the very best from an alcohol or drug rehab center. If it is time to get proper help for alcoholism or drug abuse, do your due diligence in finding the best program and care for yourself or loved one. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img alt="Glacial Cirque Overlooking Cirque Lodge" src="http://www.cirquelodge.com/images/Drug-Rehabilitation-Program.jpg" class="alignright" width="180" height="268" />When an individual comes to Cirque to receive alcohol treatment or drug rehab, they are assigned an addiction counselor that helps them throughout their treatment stay. Addiction Counselors are licensed in substance abuse treatment, social work and addiction therapies at Cirque Lodge. Their purpose is to offer the needed one-on-one care and professional help required for recovery from alcoholism or drug addiction. Caring counselors play an essential part to the efforts of treatment and recovery in the Cirque Lodge addiction program.</p>
<p>An addiction counselor at Cirque Lodge serves many functions on behalf of the individual in drug rehab treatment. These efforts are offered to provide a very personalized approach to rehabilitation and to the recovery process from addiction. Each resident is provided with a personalized treatment plan. The measures and efforts of this plan are managed by the addiction counselor to ensure that proper levels of care and progress are made throughout the treatment stay. Counselors also work privately with residents through personal addiction therapy sessions, where the underlying problems and struggles can be discussed when it comes to the behaviors of abusing drugs and alcohol.</p>
<p>The caring counselors of Cirque Lodge also play a part in preparing for the recovery process. After completing an alcohol treatment or drug rehab stay, additional programming, support, therapy and care are essential at staying clean and sober. Residents can work with their addiction counselor on making preparations and decisions on continuing forms of aftercare and sober living options for recovery. </p>
<p>There are many elements that help to make the Cirque Lodge stand out as one of the premier alcohol and drug rehab providers. One of these is definitely the efforts and commitment of a caring staff. Our addiction counselors play a vital and caring role in providing the proper levels of clinical help and therapy for those seeking to recover from addiction.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img alt="Meeting Client Needs at Cirque Lodge" src="http://www.cirquelodge.com/images/percocetaddictionprogram2.jpg" class="alignright" width="275" height="206" />When a drug addiction client comes to Cirque Lodge, the treatment and recovery experience is tailored to meet their needs. With drug addiction you are dealing with different substances of abuse, also different individuals that can require varying levels of care and rehabilitation to address their concerns. The Cirque Lodge drug rehab program consists of a multidisciplinary approach of treatments and rehabilitative experiences that provide care and recovery on many levels. Such an approach helps to meet the needs of the drug addict seeking recovery.</p>
<p>Exclusive comforts and high end facilities help to meet the needs of the struggling drug addict. No expense has been spared in creating an environment of healing. We understand that clients can have different living needs when they come to treatment and we like to think that all of these areas are covered within a private and exclusive treatment experience. For those seeking the highest levels of privacy during a drug rehab stay, accommodations are available at our Lodge facility. The culinary experience at Cirque Lodge also provides meals that meet special dietary needs when requested. </p>
<p>To determine the needs of the individual from a treatment standpoint, the drug rehab program begins with a professional and thorough assessment. A large battery of tests and assessments are utilized to determine the best course of action for treating the client.  Cirque Lodge is a dual diagnosis treatment center, providing recovery services for both co-occurring addiction and mental health disorders within a treatment stay. Assessments and interviews with treatment professionals help to diagnose and prescribe proper treatments and medications for existing mental health and addiction concerns.  </p>
<p>The assessment is used to create the treatment plan of action for the client. The client is assigned a member of our treatment team to personally over see this plan and to provide addiction treatment therapies for the individual. Our staff meets together many times a day to discuss the clients and ways to provide rehabilitation and treatment for each client. The treatment plan also changes throughout a stay at Cirque Lodge to continually meet client needs. After a few weeks of treatment, individuals can be at different stages of the recovery process and the treatment plan is continually adjusted to provide the best possible care, support and outcomes for the client according to their areas of need.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img alt="Mount Timponogos Overlloks the Cirque Lodge in Utah" src="http://www.cirquelodge.com/images/timpmoon.jpg" class="alignleft" width="241" height="160" />The Cirque Lodge alcohol and drug rehab facilities are nestled in the mountains of Utah. The beautiful and majestic Mount Timpanogos overshadows these treatment facilities for addiction. The Native Americans of this region esteemed this mountain as a sacred place in their culture when this land was first settled. Such a sacred place it can also be for those struggling with alcohol abuse or drug addiction. This quiet and serene mountain environment is used as a place for healing and recovery at the Cirque Lodge. As a part of treatment those in alcohol and drug rehab are immersed in this environment through nature based activities and experiences.</p>
<p>The experiential program at Cirque Lodge creates a number of activities and opportunities in the mountains for clients of the facility. Hiking, biking, fishing, rafting, climbing, bon fires and snow shoeing (when there is snow) are all utilized as a part of the treatment program. These activities are used to teach recovery, self-care, healing and meditation. After a hike, residents can have discussions about recovery or concepts from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. Time can even be given for clients to go and find their own quiet spot for reflection and reconnecting to a higher power.</p>
<p>Stress, trauma and drama are powerful fuels for alcoholism and drug abuse. The Cirque Lodge alcohol and drug rehab facility provides a private place away from these fuels for those who wish to do something about their struggles with drugs or alcohol. The facility is comfortable and offers a caring treatment and staff to assist with the addiction recovery process. The serenity and healing found in these mountains has helped many find a means to long term and lasting sobriety.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img alt="Get Your Loved One Help" src="http://www.cirquelodge.com/images/marijuanaaddictionrehab1.jpg" class="alignright" width="255" height="170" />When you have a loved one who is struggling with alcoholism or with drug abuse, it can be very difficult on you. Sometimes, when you try to help them it actually can be hurting or enabling them to abuse or use even more. When it is time to get them help you may not know where to turn. However, there are people, organizations and organizations that can help you in different ways. Alcohol and drug rehab is a means to treating the disease of addiction. This post suggests four ways to get your loved one help when they may be struggling with chemical dependency.</p>
<p>1. <strong>Talk to a Professional</strong>- It can be important to get proper recommendations from a professional on the matter. This can just start with your personal physician. Community programs also provide drug counselors and measures of help. You can even contact an alcohol or drug rehab provider for help if needed. </p>
<p>2. <strong>Receive an Assessment</strong> &#8211; Many addiction treatment services and providers offer assessments and even referrals to proper programs or facilities. In many cases such assessments are free of charge. A professional assessment can help to determine a course of action for the individual and where they stand on needing treatment, counseling or drug rehab programs.</p>
<p>3. <strong>Plan an Intervention</strong> &#8211; In some cases, the only way to get a loved one help is to provide an intervention for them. Intervention requires planning and can have many factors involved in helping out a loved one. There are a number of intervention professionals that can help you. Community programs can also offer intervention services in some areas. Statistics show that intervention is a very effective means to getting a loved one into an addiction treatment program.</p>
<p>4. <strong>Get Help for Yourself</strong> &#8211; Another effective means for helping your loved one is proper care for yourself. There are community and self-help programs available to the loved ones of alcoholics and addicts. A program like Alanon or CoDA can help you with your relationship with loved ones with addiction. It also provides an important education on the nature of addiction and establishing proper boundaries. Such can be a means to motivating a loved one into a proper treatment if needed.</p>
<p>Alcoholism and drug addiction are highly volatile problems. People struggling with alcohol or drugs are realistically in a fight for their lives. At Cirque Lodge, we encourage you to get your loved one the help that they need to overcome this struggle. We are a private and exclusive alcohol and drug rehab facility nestled in the mountains of Utah. You can help your loved one today by calling us at 1-877-997-3422.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img alt="CIrque Lodge after a Snowfall" src="http://www.cirquelodge.com/images/winterlodge.jpg" class="alignleft" width="280" height="188" />Struggles with drugs and alcohol can create many complications in the life of the alcoholic/addict and those that they love. Time in an alcohol or drug rehab facility can provide a safe haven away from the struggles of the world and the influences of drinking or using drugs. The problems in the world and the home can be triggers to substance abuse. It can be advantageous to get away from the situation and get help and support for these issues. </p>
<p>Residential alcohol and drug rehab facilities have changed over the years. The hospital feel of a treatment center has been replaced by comfortable and therapeutic environment in many facilities. Some treatment centers emphasize high levels of living in the facility to accommodate what an individual needs for recovery. A private and comfortable place can provide a proper surrounding for coming to grips with the issues of substance abuse and developing the skills needed to walk away from them. </p>
<p>Cirque Lodge strives to provide such a safe haven for those in need of alcohol or drug rehab treatment. For the struggling individual, the Cirque provides a caring and comfortable environment and staff willing to go the extra mile. For the family of the alcoholic/addict, Cirque provides a program to educate them and provide care on their level of need. For the alumni, the safe haven is available through guesting, aftercare meetings and continual alumni programs to promote continues efforts of recovery. Healing and recovery are found here in the serenity of the mountains; a safe haven away from the problems of the world and addiction.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img alt="Man in Need of Dual Diagnosis Care" src="http://www.cirquelodge.com/images/oxycontinaddictionprogram2.jpg" class="alignright" width="284" height="206" />Many individuals that struggle with alcoholism or drug addiction also struggle with a form of emotional or mental health issue. These people are referred to as having a dual diagnosis. This can develop in different ways. An individual diagnosed as having a disorder can at times turn to drugs or to alcohol as a way to temporarily relieve the struggles. Similarly, long term drug or alcohol abuse can result in changes to the central nervous system; the result can be a diagnosed disorder. Alcohol and drug rehab treatments have changed in recent years to integrate treatments for addiction and mental health or mood disorders.</p>
<p>Recent reports have shown that dual diagnosis individuals are more common than previously thought. The Journal of the American Medical Association reported that an estimate of 37% of alcoholics and 53% of drug abusers also struggle with at least one mental health disorder. Nearly 30% of those diagnosed as have a disorder abuse either drugs or alcohol. It used to be that treatments required separate attentions, but alcohol and drug rehab programs have been developed in recent years that address both problems with proper care in one environment.</p>
<p>Cirque Lodge offers dual diagnostic care for those faced with alcoholism and with drug addiction. This health care accredited drug rehab facility focuses on the individual with proper treatments to arrest the disease of addiction. Proper clinical care is also in place to address the problems of mental health disorders such as depression or anxiety disorders. The addiction program consists of proper treatments and recovery measures. For the mental health issue there is clinical diagnosis, individual and group therapies and appropriate medication when required. The effort is to supply a means to recovery from both aspect of the dual diagnosis issue.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.cirquelodge.com/DrugRehabBlog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/valiumaddictionplan2.jpg" alt="Coping and Recovery Skills" title="" width="175" height="272" class="alignright size-full wp-image-93" />An important aspect in drug rehab programs is the introduction and use of coping skills.  Overcoming addiction is a painstaking, involved process.  It is a constant battle the first few months of sobriety. Coping skills can be a powerful ally in the arsenal of those battling their addictions. At Cirque Lode, a number of coping strategies are developed to help in the critical times after rehabilitation. This is done through treatment and also through the unique activities of the Cirque Lodge experiential program.</p>
<p>After treatment is completed, the alcoholic/addict must continue to work at their recovery. The strategies developed in alcohol or drug rehab can provide a resource against relapse. Cirque Lodge also provides graduating residents with an aftercare plan to assist with continuing help through the recovery process. As a 12-step facility, part of this plan is to transition into the recovery community, continuing the steps and working with a sponsor. Alumni can also return to the Cirque and Guest free of charge to help them refocus on recovery.</p>

<p>The Culinary experience also plays a part in physical recovery over addiction. Years of alcoholism and drug abuse can damage the body. Some drugs suppress appetites and alcoholics and addicts can be in serious need of proper nutrition. The dining experience during drug rehab helps to greatly supply this within a delicious way. The nutrition effort combined with the active addiction treatment approach of Cirque Lodge can be influential in the body recovering from the struggles of addiction. </p>
<p>Much like the individualized alcohol treatment or drug rehab program offered at Cirque, the culinary experience can also be tailored to meet specific needs. Residents can have special dietary needs that require meals prepared for them personally. Our culinary staff is more than happy to accommodate clients with such needs. The culinary experience does help to enhance the overall time here at the Cirque. Through the years the food has always been a point of positive review from clients who are graduating from the program. As a treatment center for addiction, the delicious dining experience is just a part of supplying the very best for clients and their families during a drug rehab stay.</p>
