Internal Changes with Rehab at the Studio
Cirque Lodge consists of two facilities. The Studio was incorporated a few years ago to accommodate a growing addiction treatment program. In the summer months, the Studio has beautiful flower gardens and an organic vegetable garden for residents. They can spend some down time doing some reading in the gazebo, or can find a quiet place in the rose garden for meditation. As a part of the experiential program, residents can experience the serenity that is found in working in a garden. We strive to make alcohol and drug rehab at the Studio the best experience for residents. Such experiences can lead to internal changes for recovery.
We feel that overcoming alcoholism or drug addiction requires an internal change. All the therapy and 12-step work that goes into individual recovery just won’t work, unless that individual has the desires and wants to make the necessary changes. The experiences at Cirque Lodge are designed to invoke such changes. The residents of the Studio can have experiences that change convictions from those of addiction to those of recovery. Internal changes can happen on an activity involving the Cirque Lodge helicopter, or our elaborate ropes course. They can also happen during the quiet times in meditation in the rose garden, or sifting through the dirt of the vegetable garden.
