Teaching and Learning in Drug Rehab
Lectures and workshops are used to better educate the addict on drug abuse, alcoholism and addiction. The individual may be unaware of what their abuse is doing to their central nervous system or their behavior. Part of alcohol and drug rehab at Cirque Lodge is to better educate the alcoholic/addict for the recovery process. They better learn the concepts behind the disease of addiction. Also addressed are different influences and behaviors that are a result of this type of substance abuse. Upon completion of treatment, it is our hope that each individual has a full understanding of the nature of addiction and what is needed for recovery.
Members of the Cirque’s treatment team, visiting professionals and members of the recovery community all provide fun and engaging lectures and workshops for residents and family members. We strive to make these lectures as enjoyable as they are educational. Object lessons and engaging speakers can help the individual in better understanding their condition and what is required for abstinence and recovery.
Similar workshops are used to teach individuals about the recovery process as well. Cirque Lodge is founded on the 12-step program. Much of the emphasis of treatment is placed on individuals finding their path through this modality. At Cirque, we use the mountains and nature to help drive the point home of spiritual recovery and working the steps. A balance to educational, clinical and the 12-steps help to provide individuals with what they need for long term sobriety.
