This sounds simple and logical, doesn't it? Sadly, many recovery programs focus on treating the symptoms of chemical dependency, while virtually ignoring the person who exhibits those symptoms. We don't treat our clients that way, and we don't think it's right or fair to do so.
Just as a doctor would assess you comprehensively to determine what your symptoms mean, we believe in a comprehensive approach to addiction treatment. There's a reason people abuse drugs or alcohol-an underlying cause. Without identifying and dealing with this cause (or causes), the addict's potential for long-term recovery is slim, at best.
Turning Point uses the 12 Step model as the basis of its treatment approach, but complements this core with other modalities that address the client's mental, physical, emotional and spiritual condition, with the goal of bringing the underlying (causal) issues to light. Once identified, these issues are then dealt with through counseling, peer group support, developing positive coping strategies, enhancing self-awareness and medication management (when necessary). |
