A Personalized Approach to Drug and Alcohol Treatment

Many rehabs claim that they individualize the treatment programs for their clients but in reality, few actually do. Gatehouse Academy’s drug and alcohol rehab is one of the few that actually tailors their program to make sure each and every need of every single client in met in the most effective ways possible.

Wickenburg, AZ (WEBWIRE) July 16, 2008—When it comes to choosing the right drug and alcohol rehab, there are many questions to be answered about the types of treatment given at the different rehabs. Usually these questions are answered during the admissions process. But drug and alcohol rehab programs vary from center to center and it is essential that the facility tailors their program to meet the individual needs of each and every client.

Gatehouse Academy, the leading young adult drug and alcohol rehab, personalizes their program for each client. Different types of therapies are determined based on the needs of each individual client. If a client needs individual therapy, individual therapy sessions are scheduled along with group and family therapy sessions as needed. The duration of therapy will vary based on the individual’s needs.

Equine therapy, yoga, karate and Tai Chi are just a few of the other types of therapies that are designed to help the clients of Gatehouse Academy learn responsibility and gain esteem. Many of the Gatehouse Academy graduates continue to be involved in these activities after they graduate from treatment.

Any previously undiagnosed mental disorders, such as depression, anxiety or any learning disability, will be diagnosed and treatment administered for each and every dual diagnosis client.

Work ethic and daily living skills are taught for individuals that need to learn how to take care of themselves after leaving treatment.

“While all of our clients participate in daily living skills, we tailor our program to ensure those that need more experience get it,” stated Jacquie Arcand, Director of Marketing at Gatehouse Academy.

Success rates increase when addicts and users spend at least a year in treatment. At Gatehouse Academy, that year is spent making sure not only life skills are mastered but also ensuring clients understand and confront the experiences from their pasts that contributed to their addictions. Preparation for life in mainstream society plays the largest role in the treatment.

“Our program is so thorough that every need of each client is met,” Arcand continues, “from completing their education, to becoming physically stronger, to understanding their personal triggers, to working out issues with their families. Our philosophy is that our clients gain esteem by doing esteemable things. They must take responsibility for their actions and be prepared for life outside of treatment.”

Gatehouse Academy enjoys a high success rate because of the duration of the program they offer and the thoroughness of the tailored treatments.
