Our Recovery Program

Our alcohol and drug recovery program at Place of Healing is designed to be holistic, addressing the multifaceted nature of addiction while being firmly rooted in the time-tested 12-step model. Below are the key features that set our program apart:

12-Step Model

Central to our approach is the integration of the 12-step model, a widely recognized and effective framework for achieving long-term sobriety. Residents will complete the 12 steps as part of our program, which involves a structured series of actions designed to help individuals take responsibility for their addiction, seek forgiveness, and make amends. The 12 steps encourage self-reflection, promote personal accountability, and foster spiritual growth. By working through the steps, participants gain a deeper understanding of their addiction, develop coping strategies, and build a supportive network of peers. This model has been successful because it provides a clear, actionable path to recovery and emphasizes the importance of community and mutual support.

Individual Counseling

We recognize that each person’s journey to recovery is unique. Our program offers one-on-one counseling sessions with experienced addiction specialists. These sessions provide a safe space for individuals to explore the root causes of their addiction, develop coping strategies, and set personalized recovery goals. The individualized attention ensures that each participant receives the tailored support they need to succeed.

Group Therapy

Group therapy sessions are an integral part of our recovery program. These sessions offer participants the opportunity to connect with others who are facing similar challenges, share their stories, and gain insights from different perspectives. Facilitated by licensed therapists, group therapy helps individuals build a supportive network, enhance their communication skills, and learn from the collective wisdom of the group.

Life Skills Workshops

Recovery is not just about overcoming addiction; it’s also about building a fulfilling and productive life. Our life skills workshops cover a range of practical topics, including job readiness, financial management, healthy relationships, and stress management. These workshops equip participants with the essential skills they need to navigate life’s challenges and thrive in their personal and professional lives.

Complementary Therapies

In addition to traditional therapeutic approaches, our program incorporates complementary therapies to support holistic healing. Mindfulness practices, such as meditation and yoga, help individuals cultivate inner peace and resilience. Physical exercise is encouraged to promote overall well-being and boost mental health. Creative expression activities, such as art and music therapy, provide alternative outlets for self-expression and emotional processing.

First Nations Ceremonies

We honor and integrate the rich traditions of First Nations healing practices into our program, recognizing their profound impact on spiritual and communal well-being. Participants have the opportunity to engage in Healing Circles, which provide a sacred space for sharing stories, seeking guidance, and fostering mutual support. Additionally, we offer Sweat Lodge ceremonies, which facilitate deep physical and spiritual cleansing, helping individuals connect with their inner selves and the broader community. These ceremonies not only promote healing but also respect and celebrate cultural heritage, enhancing the overall recovery experience.

Holistic Healing Practices

We believe in treating the whole person, not just the addiction. Our holistic approach includes addressing physical health through nutrition and fitness programs, emotional health through therapy and support groups, and spiritual health through mindfulness and self-reflection practices. We offer yoga and guided meditation to help individuals achieve balance and inner peace, fostering resilience and promoting overall well-being. By nurturing all aspects of an individual’s well-being, we create a comprehensive support system that enhances recovery and promotes sustained sobriety.

Supportive Environment

At Place of Healing, we strive to create a nurturing and supportive environment where individuals feel safe and valued. Our staff is dedicated to providing compassionate care and building strong, trusting relationships with participants. This supportive atmosphere encourages individuals to fully engage in their recovery journey and develop the resilience and tools needed for sustained sobriety and overall well-being.

By blending the structured guidance of the 12 steps with these complementary therapies and supportive features, our program creates a nurturing environment where individuals can develop the resilience and tools needed for sustained sobriety and overall well-being.
