Alcohol and drug rehab at Cirque Lodge is based on the 12-steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. Individuals in drug treatment work on establishing the first few steps of recovery in their lives, while they are receiving treatment for their addictions.

For many, the first step is the most difficult. It requires them to admit they have an addiction and they no longer are in control. Defense mechanisms have been built up to protect the abusing of drugs. One of these is denial. The addict will go to great lengths to blame everything but their drug abuse for their problems. As the individual undergoes the treatment and therapy of drug rehab, they can begin see the realities of their addiction, and learn to accept it.

Cirque Lodge offers a caring and personalized program. When the addict in rehab is struggling to take the first towards recovery, a caring staff member is always available for help, support and therapy. Many of the Cirque Lodge staff are in recovery, and can help them in making that step. With this, the fears, pains and struggles of seeking and using drugs can be replaced with the joys of recovery. The caring staff at Cirque Lodge can help you or your loved one in making that step.

In treating alcoholism or drug addiction you have to treat the individual. While people share the common malady of addiction, the personal side of the problem can have very different elements. People come from different walks of life, and have very different personalities. Also, individuals have very different struggles they are facing in their own lives that are fuels to the addiction fire. Cirque Lodge offers a personalized drug treatment for those struggling with alcoholism or drug addiction. This is alcohol or drug rehab based upon individual need, with the right elements and forms of treatments and therapies.

Personalized drug treatment also focuses on one-on-one care of our clientele. Each resident works through a personalized drug treatment program according to their needs. They are treated by a primary counselor assigned specifically to them. Personal therapy sessions are provided residents to address the underlying issues that have a hand in addiction. These underlying things can be deeply personal. The resident may not feel comfortable sharing these things in group. One-on-one therapies with a licensed counselor are provided for residents. In this setting counsel, therapy and support are provided for the underlying things of addiction.

There isn’t a set way to treat the disease of addiction. At Cirque Lodge, we use a rigorous assessment to determine the needs of the resident. We then tailor alcohol and drug rehab to emphasize these needs with the proper forms of treatment and care. All along, our caring clinical staff is there 24/7 to provide all the right elements of therapy, love, care and support.

People suffering from drug addiction can be faced with a number of problems. One of these problems is with physical health. The behavior of seeking and using drugs can have adverse affects on physical well being. At Cirque Lodge, part of drug treatment is to help rebuild the body back into a healthy state. This is done with balanced nutrition and an active drug rehab program. Physical recovery can have a positive influence on overcoming addiction to drugs and alcohol.

Many drugs of choice can suppress the appetite for food. As a person seeks and uses drugs, the desire to eat is not as important. This can lead to being undernourished and physical problems from lack of a proper diet. A part of the Cirque Lodge drug treatment experience is three nutritious meals a day. Our culinary program provides delicious gourmet type meals for residents, that are also healthy and well balanced. Getting back into the practice of healthy eating can provide the body with the things it needs to rebuild from years of addiction.

Cirque Lodge is an active drug rehab program. Many elements of drug treatment rely on physical activity. Fitness programs are also offered each day for residents.

Sometimes, the drug addiction isn’t the only problem. Many individuals also are suffering from other diagnosed mood and psychiatric conditions. Disorders like depression or anxiety can have a heavy hand in developing an addiction. People oftentimes will turn to drugs or to alcohol to self medicate away the problems caused by the disorder. Cirque Lodge is a dual diagnosis drug rehab facility. During a drug treatment stay, therapies are provided to treat the addiction and disorder simultaneously.

The drug treatment program is individualized to provide the best results. For individuals who are struggling with a disorder, the program is designed specifically to help them with both issues. Ample amounts of personal, one-on-one therapy is provided from licensed professionals. A psychiatric evaluation is also part of the admission process. Individuals can be affected by a mood disorder, and not be aware. Evaluations throughout drug treatment are available to diagnose such conditions.

Addiction and psychiatric conditions are very similar. They are problems that don’t go away. They require daily management, and some days are better than others. Treatment for both conditions introduces coping strategies. These are elements that can be utilized in times of struggle. At Cirque Lodge, our drug rehab facility uses a unique balance of activities and programs to introduce a bevy of coping strategies. It used to be that people who suffered from co-occurring conditions required two separate facilities to receive appropriate care. Now with dual diagnosis, drug treatment and psychiatric care is available in one facility.

The different drugs of abuse can have varying affects on the mind and body. When addiction is developed from these drugs, each individual can be struggling from different problems. At Cirque Lodge, we focus on a specific drug treatment for each client. Treatment for a cocaine addiction, which is a stimulant, can require different attentions than someone who is abusing a depressant. We personalize treatment for each client in our drug rehab program.

A growing concern in society today revolves around the abuse of prescription medications. The use of prescription drugs for medical conditions is at an all time high. Equally, cases of individuals struggling from prescription drug addiction are high as well. Some of the drugs meant to help us have addictive substances to them. Over time, the body and mind can become attached to these substances. The concern is that these drugs are affecting people who are not looking to abuse drugs, just an answer to a health problem.

We have noticed this increase of prescription drug cases at Cirque Lodge. Individuals are seeing the need for drug treatment for prescription pills. At Cirque Lodge, we provide them with a caring environment and a personal drug rehab program. This program is intended to provide the most personal care. Whether it is a problem with illicit drugs like cocaine or heroin, or a prescription drug problem, our focus is a specific drug treatment to meet the needs of the individual.

The drug rehab program at Cirque Lodge is an effective balance of therapies. A part of this balance is our experiential program. When the Lodge was originally developed, the idea was to use the mountain and nature as a part of the healing process. A few years later, the Studio became a second addiction treatment facility. This huge building provided additional indoor and outdoor venues for experiential activities. Now, experiential activities are a daily part of alcohol and drug treatment. These activities help to assist in the therapy portion of treatment, and enhance the healing and recovery process.

Experiential activities range in the type and purpose. They can be a simple nature hike, where clients can go off alone for a bit and think about things. They can be profound, like the therapeutic connection found with a horse in an equine activity. Some are meant to help with the 12-step program, by establishing a connection with a higher power. Others are meant to teach things like recovery skills, coping strategies, or invaluable lessons on the nature of alcohol and drug addiction.

These venues and activities help to make alcohol and drug treatment more fun, more enticing. Alcoholics and drug addicts can be looking for anyway to get out of the darkness. These activities can help them find something that they can enjoy. If it is something they can envision themselves doing after leaving the addiction treatment facility, it is something that can help them continue on the path to lasting sobriety. Experiential therapy activities can be a release for residents who are dealing with issues and addiction problems as well. After a particularly difficult therapy session, it can be therapeutic to get away from the facility and relax for a bit in the quiet of nature.

There is a growing problem when it comes to drug abuse these days. However, people are not going to their drug dealers to obtain these drugs, they are turning to their medicine cabinets. Prescription drugs that contain opiates and synthetic opioids are becoming the growing abuse problem. These prescription drugs are derivatives of morphine and are used mainly in pain management. They have brand names like Vicodin, Percocet, Percodan, and OxyContin. They contain the ingredient hydrocodone or oxycodone. These drugs are miracles when taken appropriately. They are dangerous when abused. Abusing prescription drugs ultimately can result in addiction. Cases of abuse are on an alarming rise. Similarly, the rise in overdose deaths from prescription drugs is also steadily growing across the United States.

Cirque Lodge treats individuals who suffer from the disease of addiction. For those in need of drug rehab for prescription pills, Cirque Lodge provides a caring environment and a unique addiction treatment program.

For some individuals, drug addiction is just part of the problem. Many people who suffer from addiction also suffer from other co-occurring disorders. Psychiatric conditions can have a heavy hand in addiction. A disorder like depression can make the central nervous system more likely to develop an addiction to the feelings caused by drugs and alcohol. It’s like the disorder primes the brain for the influences of addictive substances. Alcohol and drug rehab has changed in recent years to address this. Addiction treatment and treatment for a disorder can now be found in one dual diagnosis facility.

Cirque Lodge offers dual diagnosis as a part of its alcohol and drug treatment program. Therapy is personalized to address both aspects of a co-occurring disorder. As a healthcare accredited facility, Cirque Lodge has a medical staff that can prescribe appropriate medications to treat specific mood disorders. Through treating the disorder the central nervous system can have an easier time in overcoming addiction, and vice versa.

Another advantage to dual diagnosis drug treatment comes from undiagnosed conditions. The individual can be struggling with a psychiatric condition and not be aware. The use of drugs and alcohol has suppressed this condition. Once in drug rehab, without addictive substances in the system, the person can experience feelings caused by the disorder. Diagnosis and treatment of the disorder can be just what is needed to overcome the problem with drugs and alcohol.

Some of the prescription we take can be harmful to us. They are harmful in the ways of addiction. Many of the prescription drugs used for pain management have opiate effects. More and more individuals are discovering that they are addicted to painkillers. Over time, the pain goes away, but the need to use the drugs remains. Prescription drug addiction is a growing problem. Cirque Lodge offers help for prescription addiction with a personalized drug rehab program.

In recent years, Cirque Lodge has seen an increase in individuals struggling with painkiller addiction. We treat these individuals with a specific program to meet their needs. All cases of addiction are not the same. You are dealing with individuals who come from different walks of life, and require different levels of treatment. A number of people who become addicted to painkillers are not the normal mold of a drug addict. They are people who became addicted through a health malady, and aren’t individuals who are regularly seeking and using illicit drugs. By personalizing treatment, we can get to the core of the addiction problem.

The caring addiction treatment facility at Cirque Lodge is ideal for overcoming painkiller addiction. Both Lodge and Studio facilities emphasize high levels of comfort and luxury. A homelike environment is helpful in the recovery process. A drug rehab stay at Cirque Lodge can be the answer to painkillers. Hope and healing is available in the serenity of the mountains.
