Our approach to recovery involves on-going supportive interaction and communication with family members throughout the assessment, intervention, treatment and post-treatment process. This means we meet with families and help them:

We listen to and collaborate with families and advisors throughout the recovery process. See The New Recovery Model, further on in this website for more on why this is important. 

We also provide skilled support for chemically dependent persons who want to quit or are in the after treatment phase of recovery. We are experts at helping addicts in early recovery reconnect in healthy ways with their families.

We adhere to the medically proven view that alcohol, drug dependence and other addictions are a primary disease with physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual components, including changes in brain structure.  Those addicted to alcohol and other drugs suffer from a compulsive craving for, and use of, these substances and cannot quit by themselves.  Treatment is necessary to end this compulsive behavior.

See below: Addiction – Alcohol and other Drug Use and Concurrent Recovery Monitoring for Treatment of Addiction for more information.

We believe everyone should have access to effective intervention strategies and recovery programs.  As such, we are advocates for increased support for successful treatment programs in the criminal justice system, such as DWI/Drug Courts and treatment programs for soon to be released prisoners and probationers.
