One on One Approach

You use drugs or alcohol for a reason.  It may be to relax or reward yourself.  It may be to reduce stress or anxiety.  Or you may be self-medicating to address physical or emotional pain.  Whatever the reason, you need to recognize the “triggers” that drive your addiction and develop strategies and skills that allow you to manage these feelings without drugs or alcohol.

We believe – and both experience and research confirms – that a personal approach with individual counseling is the best method of treatment.  St. Joseph Institute does not use a lot of group therapy, as most rehabs do.  We know that you will be more comfortable sharing important, very personal information in a private setting.  Each resident in our program works closely with a counselor who is involved in their recovery on a day-to-day basis.

The most important criterion for admission is that you want to get better, creating a community of people who are all committed to supporting one another and working to overcome their addictions.  Together we see lives change, joy and happiness return and new opportunities arise for the life you want to have.
