Help for the Alcoholic
A lot of people who have a drinking problem have a difficult time with being called alcoholic. Part of this has to do with a stigma that is built up in the brain. In their minds, the drinking is not a problem and they can quit whenever they want to. Truthfully, they can’t and won’t quit, not on their own anyway. Most alcoholics require help, sometimes professional help in coming to grips with their drinking problem. Cirque Lodge offers a caring facility for the alcoholic. It is help for the struggling individual with effective treatment, therapy and the caring support needed for long term recovery.
The drinking problem can be just the surface of a much deeper struggle. In alcohol rehab, programs and personal therapies are provided to address these struggles. For those who are dealing with a co-occurring issue like a psychiatric or eating disorder, a dual diagnosis program is integrated into treatment. Personalized therapies can help the alcoholic who is dealing with grief or traumatic experiences. At Cirque Lodge, the program is tailored specifically to the individual. The elements of therapy, treatment and recovery programming are designed specifically to meet that alcoholic’s need.
Alcoholism is a chronic illness and requires attention just like other chronic diseases. This is where a program like Alcoholics Anonymous comes in. After rehab is completed, a continued effort is required to maintain sobriety. Involvement within a supportive recovery program can keep the alcoholic focused on the practices that keep them sober. At Cirque Lodge, clients are provided with a Continuing Care Plan that lays out the options for additional treatment and support for the recovery process. This can include continuing with the AA program and working with a sponsor.
