Anonymity is the Spiritual foundation of our program. - Alcoholics Anonymous, Twelfth Edition
Today's current public and political climate has raised everyone’s awareness for the need for privacy and confidentialty in the area of health care. There are laws, regulations, guidelines for licensure, and accreditations that mandate that all individuals seeking help be protected. It is particularly important when we are talking about addiction.
The reason for this, of course, is ignorance. Many individuals - those afflicted, those related to an addict, and even those required to care and treat addicts - do not believe that excessive use and continued dependence upon substances is a disease. The think of addiction as a moral issue, a matter of integrity, intelligence or lack of faith in themselves or others. They consider it intentional and matter of choice. None of that makes much sense. If addiction were any of those things, then our country, our people, would not be suffering!
Because of these beliefs, however, we need to make sure that our clients are protected. We need to give them an environment where...
- ...they no longer feel threatened
- ...they no longer feel they need to keep the secret
- ...they can feel safe
- ...they can prepare to appropriately self-disclose and re-enter life.
They will be given the skills to do all of these things and more when they receive the kind of treatment we offer here at the Farley Center at Williamsburg Place.
