Drug Rehab and a 12-step Recovery
Treatment at Cirque Lodge is founded on the 12-step program. A 12-step recovery lays the groundwork for life after rehab. The drug rehab program at Cirque Lodge is centered on making progress through the initial steps of the 12-step process. Some individuals are only in alcohol and drug rehab for a short period of time. Their goal is to have a solid foundation of these initial steps. One must come to terms with their addiction problem and realize that they are powerless against it.
An integral aspect of the 12-step process to recovery is to establish a connection with a higher power. However the individual conceives their higher power, this aspect is imperative. At Cirque Lodge, the focus is to provide vital spiritual experiences for our drug rehab clients. Such experiences create an internal shift. It changes convictions. It can make enduring the pains of the recovery process a little easier. Whether out on the mountain or in a therapy session, one can find their higher power to help them through the struggles of addiction.
After rehab, the 12-step process is continued through support meetings and programs. After completing the drug rehab program, the individual in recovery is once again tempted by the situations of their addictive lifestyle. The 12-step program can be a means of staying clean and sober. Cirque Lodge clients are prepared a continuing care plan, prior to leaving the drug rehab facility. A part of this continuing care plan is enrollment in a specific 12-step support program. Recovery from alcohol and drug addiction is a process, not an event. Through a solid connection with a higher power, and the support of sponsors and others, this process can be made a little easier.
