The alcohol and drug rehab program at Cirque Lodge consists of an effective balance of leading intensive therapies, a family element and an experiential program. This balance can be influential in arresting the disease of addiction, developing the coping mechanisms need to combat addictive impulses, and providing the necessary means of support for an early recovery. This exclusive drug treatment program is best described as an 'experience'. Addiction treatment is very much 'hands-on' in developing the skills needed for a lasting recovery. It is intensive and therapeutic, but can also be a great deal of fun; as residents develop the skills needed to overcome addiction in their lives.

Personalized Drug Treatment Program

The inpatient drug treatment program at Cirque Lodge is personalized for each resident. Alcoholics and drug addicts, while sharing the common malady of addiction, can be struggling with a varying number of problems. Addiction treatment is tailored to help resident with the areas they are struggling with. Different treatment and support elements are used for the housewife struggling with prescription drug addiction, than the college student with a problem with heroin addiction. A rigorous assessment and thorough evaluation is used to determine the best course of action for the individual needs of the resident.

A part of treatment at Cirque Lodge is devoted to one-on-one time with a primary counselor. Each individual admitted into the Cirque Lodge program is assigned their own counselor for their time in drug rehab. Counselors are available for personal therapy in one-on-one settings. People struggling with a drug addiction can also be struggling with other problems in their lives. The therapy setting is a safe environment for receiving counsel, help and support for the underlying things that have an influence in using addictive drugs.

Cirque Lodge is a dual diagnosis facility. A private drug treatment program is tailored to help individuals who also have psychiatric disorders coexisting with their drug addiction.

Preparation for the Recovery Process

Overcoming a drug addiction is a long term effort. Part of alcohol and drug rehab is to prepare the individual for their life in recovery. When the drug addict leaves the residential drug treatment program, they once again are faced with the influences and triggers that can lead them to use. Part of drug rehab is devoted to developing skills to combat these influences during the recovery process. At Cirque Lodge, we do this in many ways. Lectures and workshops are used to better educate the addict on the nature and behavior of addiction. Cognitive therapies are used to teach the addicts ways to combat this behavior. Fun and enjoyable experiential activities are also used to teach lessons and skills for the recovery process.

Another avenue to prepare for the recovery process is in building a network of support for the individual. Alcohol and drug addiction can be very isolating. In isolation is where the impulses to use begin to thrive. A part of the addiction treatment process at Cirque Lodge is to begin to build the proper lines of support for the recovery process. Residents are introduced to the 12-step program, and elements of support meetings and working with a temporary addiction sponsor is introduced. After rehab is completed, such a support network is an influential element in preventing a relapse from occurring. The addict must have the understanding that they are never alone in dealing with their problem.

Experiential Therapy Programs

The area where our residential drug treatment programs are different from other leading drug rehabs is our use of experiential therapy. This unique therapy program focuses on learning and healing through activity. Hands-on activities can be very profound in teaching invaluable lessons for the recovery process. No matter the time of year, a number of indoor and outdoor activities are used to teach recovery lessons and inspire vital spiritual experiences. There are other facilities that use experiential programming. The Cirque Lodge difference is in the frequency and the amount of these activities that we use here.

A number of experiential activities are used to challenge the behavior and the mindsets that are developed through the habits of addiction. The common feeling that is had in addiction is that of fear. A number of challenges are implemented to overcome these fears by accomplishing feats. Problem solving and team building exercises are also used in developing the coping skills needed for the recovery process. The activities are not just challenging. They are fun, and can be a means for building support in rehab.

The experiential program is also effective for individuals struggling with a spiritual recovery. Alcoholics and drug addicts can be at very low ebb spiritually. We use the mountain and the healing of nature to help individuals with a spiritual recovery. Spiritual experiences can be influential in creating an internal change. This change is needed to truly overcome an addiction. A number of nature based activities are used to inspire and create such spiritual experiences for our residents. This can be a venue for making imperative connections to one's higher power, and an effective element to our drug treatment program.
