Drug and Alcohol Treatment Philosophy
For millennia various forms of drugs and alcohol have flourished in different societies around the world. And for the nations that had laws against the use of either drugs or alcohol, there have been judicial sentences for the offenders. Some societies have been extreme, killing the drug or alcohol abuser for the crime while others have locked them away indefinitely. There have been many different philosophies as to how to deal with drugs and alcohol.
Even today in American society, we have general laws regarding the use of certain drugs, their cultivation, distribution and use. Though throughout history and regardless what the negative consequences were to be, the drug addict/ alcoholic has always found ways to obtain what they wanted.
It wasn't until the advent of the 12 step program in the late 1930's that drug addicts or alcoholics had options other than jail, insanity or death. Innumerable philosophies and facilities have been born out of the 12 step program, but none has been so overwhelmingly successful than those that integrate the principles of 12 step program into their own.
Here at Manor house, we take these fundamental principles and help the individual apply them to everyday challenges. Over the course of our 28 day program, an individual can learn to rely on the tools taught in every session. We cover a wide variety of topics in our daily sessions. Ranging from the physiological effects alcohol and drugs have on the human body to the coping skills needed to live a sober life on a daily basis.
The care and consideration that has gone into our program is the result of over forty years of intensive work with alcoholics and drug addicts. Our program consists of specifically designed sessions to aid in the rehabilitation of a person suffering from the disease of alcoholism or drug addiction. With a relatively small client/instructor ratio, group sessions are extremely productive and provide the individual with a comfortable and positive environment.
One of the key elements of our program is all of our instructors know first hand what it takes to get and stay sober. Living through the addiction themselves, all of our instructors are in recovery and have been sober for a number of years. One drawback of other rehabilitation centers is the inability to fully understand the drug addict or alcoholic. Anyone can read about the life of an alcoholic or drug addict but if they have never lived it themselves, they will never truly know the feelings, emotions, fears, and thoughts of an alcoholic or drug addict.
Nothing is more fulfilling to someone who is trying to get sober than to know the person they are talking to has been through exactly what they're going through. Our instructors explain what to expect in recovery, how to deal with certain situations or individuals and how to overcome temptations and remain sober. Every one of our instructors is a pillar of support.
Here at the Manor house, we don't just talk the talk, we walk the walk. Our staff and instructors care about every individual that walks in our doors. We know first hand that alcoholism and drug addiction is a life and death issue. We realize that recovery is as important for our clients as it is for us. We don't just believe in our program, we live it. And you can too.
