The Vision
Our vision is to help the suffering chemically dependent person who voluntarily enters treatment to achieve complete sobriety which means not only freedom from drug indulgence but also peace of mind, contentment, peace of soul, adjustment to life, to reality, to God's will and man's presence.
The primary goals
The primary goal is to foster personal growth and development toward self-fulfillment of the individual suffering addict through social leaning in a community of concerned people working together to help themselves and each other
Elements of Recovery
The keys to recovery from chemical dependency are simple in concept yet very sophisticated in application. These four elements require the joint effort of both patient and staff
- Repair of medical and social damage
- Abstinence from alcohol and other mood-altering drugs.
- Restoration of self-esteem
- Involvement with self-help group for alcoholics and drug addicts (AA and NA)
Treatment goals
The addicted person has to learn to function as a sick person and has to be taught step by step, how to function initially as a recovering person and finally as a successfully recovering addict ( well person ). To attain this, the following goals have to be fulfilled
- Accepting chemical dependency as a sickness
- Boosting self-esteem..
- Elimination of resentment
- Assessing job performance
- Examining spiritual background and determining how it can be improved
- A recreational plan
- Maintenance of the programme for continuous sobriety.
- Provision of the basic human needs.
All of our planners believe that everyone, rich or not so rich, deserves great financial advice and planning services
