A sponsor provides a personal one-on-one support group for the individual in recovery. Sponsors are individuals who have found their own successful recovery. They have dedicated a portion of their lives to helping other achieve the same (The 12th step). Working with a sponsor can help to ease the burdens of social situations and in dealing with the possibility with relapse. They are a positive example of sober living and can be a needed crutch along the way.

Sponsors are also a means to continuing the 12-step program. After an individual leaves rehab, it is up to that person to continue the recovery process. However, involvement with 12-step meetings and a sponsor can provide a foundation for continuing on. A sponsor can help with the difficult steps of recovery and maintaining a connection to a higher power. This is not an easy process. Help along the way can make all the difference in successful long term goals of sobriety. A caring sponsor can be a means to helping the alcoholic/addict achieve this. In time, the recovering individual can in turn sponsor others to this same long term goal.

Getting your loved one into treatment is sometimes easier said than done. Perhaps the use of an intervention service is in order. Members of our admissions staff can help with information on an appropriate interventionist. Cirque Lodge works with many of the nation’s leading intervention services. If detoxification is need, admissions can help with information and admittance to a local detox facility. They are here to make the entire transition into alcohol or drug rehab a painless one. When it is time to get that loved help, a simple phone call can make all the difference in saving them.

Also taken into account are other factors the individual is dealing with. A psychiatric disorder is addressed with dual diagnosis programming. Personalized therapies are also used in addressing trauma or dealing with grief. Personalized care strives to bring awareness to these vulnerabilities and to address them with proper therapies and recovery programs.

Each client is assigned a personal counselor during their treatment stay. Counselors meet with clients during the week in addition to normal programming for one-on-one counseling sessions. They oversee the treatment plan and see to it that each client is receiving appropriate care for their needs.  Addiction and alcoholism is a complex and aggregate issue. A personalized approach to alcohol or drug rehab can help to provide the individual with care they specifically require.

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.

The majority of each day in drug rehab is designated to treating the disease of addiction. At Cirque Lodge, this is done a little differently with the use of experiential activities. Experiential work provides a new way to develop skills needed for recovery. It also helps by providing exercise and improving ones health. Residents can even work with personal trainers during free time to improve overall wellness. Some people come to rehab in pretty bad shape. The balance to Cirque Lodge provides them a recovery for their mind and spirit. The active approach offers recovery for the body.

Anonymity is a part of a 12-step recovery. At Cirque Lodge, great measures are taken to provide each client with a very personal and private recovery experience. For those seeking the highest levels of privacy, accommodations are available to meet these needs. It is an ideal addiction program for those high profile members of society, who wish to keep their treatment as anonymous as possible. Over the years Cirque has treated many high profile individuals with a caring and private recovery program. This emphasis on privacy is a standard for each and every client of our treatment facilities.

Privacy allows the individual to focus on their treatment experience. They don’t have to be bothered too much by the outside world or unwanted influences. Time here in the serenity of the mountains can be an escape. One can come to terms with their alcoholism or drug addiction. They can develop the skills needed to abstain from these things in the future. While undergoing this difficult process in rehab, a comfortable and private facility provides a safe haven for getting well again.

No expense has been spared in making the Lodge the very best in a high end alcohol and drug rehab facility. Amenities, Accommodations and dining reflect that of a world class resort. These things are used to compliment the highly effective and unique balance to treatment found at Cirque Lodge. The focus is to provide the very best in an alcohol or drug treatment experience. Individuals can choose between a private or shared accommodation. All clients benefit from a personalized approach to treatment and one-on-one therapies.

There is something to be said about the mountain location of Cirque Lodge. The majestic mountains are a location for healing and for recovery. The Lodge has large windows throughout the facility, so residents can take in these natural views. Experiential learning activities also provide clients with a first hand experience of nature. A number of venues in the mountains and along the river are used in lessons of recovery. It is a unique approach to treating the disease of addiction. Time in this mountain facility has helped many find a solution for their struggles with drugs or alcohol abuse.

There are many forms of aftercare that can benefit the alcoholic/addict in recovery. The key point being that the individual pursues these things after they leave the safety of the rehabilitation facility. Many individuals move into a secondary facility, like a halfway house or sober living home after treatment. Outpatient programs, therapists and support groups are also available to the recovering individual. Many find needed support through continuing the 12-step program through fellowships like Alcoholics Anonymous.

The aftercare lecture also addresses the family and the recovery programs that are available to them. Family works their own 12-step program as well. These individuals can find support through programs like Al-anon, which is a program geared specifically for family members and loved ones of alcoholics and addicts.  The family can work at recovery together with the help and support of such programs. It can make the home environment more conducive to the recovery process and the goals of a life long sobriety.

Support is introduced through differing group based therapies and 12-step recovery programs. The residents of our facilities function as a community. Counselors and staff are also available for support when needed. The balance of group elements can be workshops all the way to more intensive therapies. Members of the group can focus on supporting the individual in their times of struggle.

A different type of treatment and recovery work is balanced into all of this. The more intensive and traditional forms of rehabilitation are combined with the unique and enjoyable experiential activities offered at Cirque Lodge. Each day, residents have the opportunity to participate in a different activity. These fun and engaging elements are used to teach recovery concepts and skills for self management. Shaping pottery, flying in a helicopter, swinging from a giant pendulum swing, and even working with horses are all used to teach lessons of recovery.

There is a unique balance to Cirque Lodge. It is the balance of the traditional, intensive and experiential that has helped many find a means to long term recovery.

Family Week consists of a lot of things. It is four days filled with workshops, fun experiential activities, specialized groups and therapy sessions. With this programming the family can be better educated on the nature of addiction and how they can help through the recovery process. Personalized sessions are used to help the family tear down the walls that were built up by the addiction and to begin healing. This can be difficult for some, but ultimately can be extremely therapeutic and a foundation for continuing recovery.
