Initial Evaluation
In keeping with the philosophy driving all our programs, we gear the initial evaluation towards establishing the specific needs of each individual seeking support for his/her addition. To ensure that our goals are aligned with yours, the initial call is designed to gather all relevant information about you—including demographic, clinical, and anecdotal information, as well as your individual treatment history. By opening a direct and respectful dialog from the moment of first contact, we begin building a trusting relationship with you—a relationship that will continually strengthen the foundation of your journey to recovery.
Group Therapy
Addiction is a lonely disease — active substance abusers often feel lonely and cut off from others, especially from loved ones who may not share their illness. This loneliness perpetuates the cycle, because the substance abuser will often self-medicate with drugs or alcohol to numb the pain of loneliness, which in turn only serves to isolate them even more.
In a group therapy setting, participants find out that they are not alone. They learn—often to their surprise — that there are others who understand their struggles because they share them. The power of one helping another suffering is without parallel.
The discovery of these common bonds often serves as a basis for ongoing supportive mutual relationships that each person can draw upon for strength and inspiration when they feel overwhelmed or tempted to resume alcohol or drug use.
MD Guided Group Meditation
Being able to switch off our "fight or flight monkey mind" is a powerful skill to learn and use. There are many forces making us feel less than or unsafe or unattractive or unsafe. "Your beauty magazine makes my girlfriend feel ugly".
This is the Dis-Ease that is the foundation of many current illnesses.
We will guide you through the simple powerful technique I have learned from my Guruji; Dhyanyogi.
Dhyanyogi taught me the ancient and powerful Kundalini Maha Yoga when I was 8 years old.
Come.
Meditate.
Experience.
