Cognitive Treatment
At A Forever Recovery, we have provided a cognitive behavioral therapy treatment environment that allows our clients to seek their own spiritual paths without being forced to adhere to beliefs that are not truly their own. We respect the rights and beliefs of our clients and understand that the spiritual journey can be the most important part of anyone’s program of recovery.
In order to accomplish this, we have designated five “tracks” or paths that are used to compliment the cognitive behavioral therapy treatment that the client receives: Faith Based, Self Help or 12-step, Cognitive, Holistic and Native American Spirituality.
Our cognitive behavioral therapy treatment track is ideal for one of several different clients:
- The client who isn’t receptive to typical 12-step drug rehab programs, nor is comfortable in a Christian Faith based environment. They may or may not be resistant to spiritual teachings, but are seeking their own path to recovery.
- The client who believes that empowerment and overcoming one’s addiction comes from within and doesn’t feel comfortable seeking strength outside of themselves through spirituality. Analytical people who have a tendency to use their mind, willpower, abilities and strengths to over come addiction are an example.
- The client who is seeking to enhance their current recovery base with the benefits of understanding their belief systems, triggers and cognitive processes, has a spirituality or belief in spiritual matters.
We have a series of elements of our cognitive behavioral therapy treatment track that can provide the addict or alcoholic with the enhancement to their drug treatment program here at A Forever Recovery. These elements can include:
- Lectures by recovering addicts, alcoholics and counselors
- Personal Empowerment
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Coupled with the intensive Inventory and Self-Discovery piece of our program, a client can uncover, discover and discard those things in their life which are blocking them off from recovering from their addictions. Removing years of guilt, shame and remorse can reveal the person that they truly are and allow them to continue their life afterwards, clean and sober…an empowered being.
We, at A Forever Recovery, feel that in giving the client the right to choose these spiritual enhancements to their program actually empowers the client and makes their recovery truly their own. Unfortunately many conventional drug rehab centers tell clients that “if they don’t accept their particular brand of recovery they probably won’t stay sober”. Our goal is to help the client discover their own recovery tools that will work for best them, and our Self Help track is an effective enhancement to the recovering person looking for recovery through support groups and recovering communites.
Our Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Treatment Counselors
In order to create such a successful approach to recovery, we have a large variety of counselors from many different modalities of drug rehabilitation available at A Forever Recovery. Some of our counselors have worked in 12-step programs, others Christian faith based drug treatment centers. Others have gotten sober themselves through cognitive programs, while others practice their own brand of spirituality. With a staff of Christians, Buddhists, Spiritual Teachers and even athiests, we feel that we can help those of our clients to find their own way when it comes to cognitive behavioral therapy treatment.
