PROGRAM
DESCRIPTION
This is an outpatient recovery program
designed for ten weeks of individualized approaches for treating the chemically addicted
client. The program is flexible to allow
clients the opportunity to fulfill his or her responsibilities of home, work and school
while learning to cope with stressors without self-medicating with alcohol and/or other
drugs. This program will allow clients to
live at home and continue to work while they receive treatment for alcohol or drug
dependency. Mountain View adheres to the
"concept of addictive disease" which addresses addiction as a chronic,
progressive, fatal illness with medical symptoms that include tolerance, dependence, and
pathologic organ changes. Behavioral symptoms
include compulsion, loss of control, and continued use despite adverse consequences. Accordingly, our program considers addictive
disease to be primarily a "biochemical/genetic disorder that is activated by the
use of the drug."
Chemical Dependency is the third largest killer in America today after heart disease and
cancer. Conservative statistics show that
every chemically dependent person affects the lives of at least four people, which may
include spouse, children, employer and friends.
Recent reports show that alcohol and other
drug abuse costs industries at least $70 billion per year.
Employees who use drugs on the job perform at about 50% of their normal
ability. Lost productivity alone amounts to
an estimated $30 billion per year.

RELAPSE PREVENTION
When clients are ready, they will be
involved in a relapse prevention program. A
true relapse prevention program focuses on discovering the core issues and signs of
relapse and then developing a plan to deal with these causes. For many clients, relapse prevention treatment is
much different from their initial recovery treatment.
These groups are designed to stop the revolving door of some chemically
dependent clients.
