Therapeutic program is the most important thing, but in the same time, the most difficult one, where every participant can show the will to overcome the ’’death path’’. The program is divided in five phases.

 

The first phase is hospitality: the staff welcomes all the persons with drug problems. They make sure that the program meets their needs. They make them some questions and ask them to undergo some diagnostic tests or screenings to best determine how the program can most optimally tailor its treatment plan to them and their particular needs and stage of addiction and then detoxification them. They are interested in knowing the severity of their addiction, their personal drug use history, family history of addiction. As soon as this phase passes, they start the real work with them. The most important thing to the staff is for them to be conscious about the therapy which we call ’’therapy of truth’’.

 

They continue with therapy of creativity; they stimulate their boys and girls to be as much creative as possible with themselves and with what this center offers to them. The creative therapies can be very helpful in the process of recovery from addiction. They offer the opportunity to get in touch with the inner self and with the higher power and can provide a form of expression for feelings that cannot be easily identified or put into words. Through helping the person with an addiction connect with his/her more authentic self, the expressive therapies can help raise self-esteem and provide an opportunity to create new experiences beyond habitual and painful emotional patterns.

 

The creative arts foster a renewed ability to relax without drugs. The third phase is therapy with parents. They do not want their youngsters to leave their parents or to get distant from them. Family and friends can play critical roles in motivating individuals with drug problems to enter and stay in treatment. Family therapy can also be important, especially for adolescents. Involvement of a family member or significant other in an individual's treatment program can strengthen and extend treatment benefits. Therefore, once a month they have the possibility to meet them, to eat with them, to stay and talk to them.

 

The fourth phase, are individual and group meetings. In individual therapy, a person works with a mental health professional in private sessions to acquire self-knowledge, insight into addiction and a stronger sense of inner strength. A typical therapy session lasts from 50 minutes to an hour. Frequency of therapy depends on the person’s needs. Group therapy gives recovering addicts the opportunity to learn new coping techniques, practice their communication skills and gain hope and strength from their peers. In group therapy they can meet men and women like themselves who are facing the same struggles with substance abuse. Many profound friendships are formed in group therapy where addicts learn how to develop trusting relationships with others.

 

The last phase, which is the main purpose of their mission, is re-entering the society. We support addicts put their newfound skills to practical. It is one of the most important actions any recovering addict can take to increase their odds of successful sobriety. Recovery from drug addiction doesn’t end once rehabilitees leave the doors of the rehabilitation center. Completing a rehabilitation treatment program is just the beginning of a long journey to maintaining sobriety.

 

Drug rehabilitation teaches the skills needed to remain sober, but the real test comes once rehabilitees leave the program and enter the real world.
