Relapse Treatment
If you have relapsed back to active alcoholism or addiction (or feel you are about to) after a sustained period or periods of abstinence, your focus in treatment will be on re-entering recovery, identifying the issues that led to relapse and developing a support system and recovery plan specific to your own circumstances and needs.
Your relapse treatment plan will be developed and monitored by Ashley's team of medical professionals, certified counselors, dietician, physical fitness trainer and other staff. Relapse treatment consists of medically supervised detoxification, individual sessions with your Relapse-certified counselor, group therapy in an all-relapse group, lectures, 12-step meetings and daily meditation. Therapeutic activities include aerobics and yoga with certified instructors. Ashley also offers optional daily spiritual services and pastoral counseling.
Ashley is a pioneering facility for comprehensive relapse treatment. Recognizing that a relapse patient would receive limited benefit from simply “re-doing” primary treatment, Ashley sought the expertise of Terrence Gorski, President of the CENAPS Corp. and world renowned for his work in relapse prevention. Father Martin’s staff and Terry Gorski worked together to blend their treatment philosophies and create a treatment model that incorporated 12-step values and Gorski’s relapse prevention model.
Many relapse patients are burdened with a co-occurring condition, such as depression or anxiety. The Ashley relapse staff is trained to explore these issues and get to the root of the problems that have made sobriety maintenance a challenge.
The relapse program constitutes about 40% of Ashley’s treatment population. All counselors working with relapse patients are certified by CENAPS. The first-ever addiction treatment counselor to receive this certification was an Ashley employee.
