We’ve found that residential addiction treatment is most effective separated into three individualized phases:
In Phase I, we focus on:
- Breaking through denial
- Internalizing ownership of the alcoholism/addiction
- Owning the deficits, powerlessness, unmanageability and consequences
We address these issues in a therapeutic treatment setting, as part of the individual’s ongoing, individualized treatment plan.
Individuals participate in daily activities, including education of the disease concept, group and individual therapy, sober living skills, Twelve-Step educational groups and meetings, and physical activities.
During this phase, we work to stabilize clients and engage them in the first phases of the recovery process.
In Phase II, we focus on:
- Accepting the character defects contributing to harm done to self and others
- Embracing the brokenness and correlating sorrow
Once stabilized and engaged in treatment, Phase II focuses on therapeutic assignments and daily activities designed to help individuals regain conscience, improve decision making, judgment, and impulse control.
Individuals continue to participate in Twelve-Step education groups, individual and group therapy, physical activities and sober living skills, with ongoing evaluation and monitoring of progress in treatment.
In Phase III, we focus on building a spiritual foundation for recovery and moldability.
As individuals progress through the phases of treatment and recovery, our treatment team works with patients, individually and in group sessions, to identify repressed emotions and address avoided feelings. This ultimately helps the individual regain the ability to feel.
All aspects of the individualized treatment plan are continuously assessed and monitored to ensure that individuals continue progressing in addressing deficits, needs, and contradictions.
In Phase IV, we focus on:
- Building a recovery network
- Preparing for discharge
- Identifying compulsive behaviors
During this phase, patients work with individual counselors and in group sessions to identify compulsive behaviors and negative thought patterns.
Through daily activities and assignments, the individual is empowered to be responsible for their continued recovery, and we prepare for the individual’s return to home and family life.
