Different Concepts Teach Spiritual Recovery
Part of the Cirque Lodge is spiritual recovery. In our alcohol and drug rehab, spiritual recovery is left up to the individual and many concepts are used in teaching this. Spiritual recovery is not always intended to be a ‘religious’ experience. As said before, we use a number of concepts. Within the Cirque Lodge facility is a Native American teepee and we use concepts of Native American culture in teaching individuals about spirituality. This is coupled with the highly effective elements of 12-step recovery.
One of these unique elements is a drum circle. Cirque Lodge has a number of different Native American style drums they use in this activity. A visiting professional takes residents on a journey through the legends of Native American tribes. Stories are shared and experiences are gained as residents learn things they never knew possible. These things can help them with healing. They also have a lot of fun banging on drums.
The Native Americans of this region called this land Timpanogos (the same name as the mountain that looms over Cirque Lodges alcohol and drug rehab facilities). It was considered a holy place of healing. For those who are suffering from alcoholism or drug addiction this can also be a place of healing. Time in the Cirque Lodge can provide a spiritually rejuvenating recovery experience.
