Vital Spiritual Experiences in Rehab
A number of different activities and outings play a part in the Cirque Lodge alcohol and drug rehab facility. In addition to the traditional and clinical pieces of addiction treatment, an experiential program is used to help with vital spiritual experiences. The Big Book of AA tells us that such experiences displace the ruling forces of alcoholism or drug addiction with new concepts. The different types of programs and outings provided at Cirque Lodge can offer many different opportunities to have such an internal shift and spiritual awakening.
Years of alcoholism or drug addiction can have the human spirit at pretty low ebb. Nature and the mountains are used as venues at Cirque Lodge for enlightenment and rebuilding one’s spirit. Residents of our facilities can use these activities as a place for meditation and reflection. It provides a chance to do some soul searching in a very serene and healing environment. Residents also use this venue for connecting with a higher power. These experiences can influence an internal and spiritual change.
A vital change doesn’t just come on the mountain it is process. Such experiences can come in group, a personal counseling session, or even in working with one’s family. The purpose is to give residents every opportunity to have an internal shift and find recovery for themselves. All the while, members of the Cirque Lodge staff are there to provide guidance, counsel and support along the way. Recovery is a process and it can take some time to accomplish. These experiences can provide a solid foundation for continuing on and enduring the process.
