What is Abstinence-based treatment?
Addiction is more than a dependency upon alcohol, drugs, or painkillers. It is a disease that causes people to become self-destructive and hurtful toward others, and if untreated the person is unable to control unhealthy and self-defeating behaviors despite the physicial and mental risks. Those with addiction stand to damage their health, relationships with family and friends, careers and finances if nothing to done to help.
At Williamsburg Place and the William J. Farley Center, we recognize that clients often need different treatment programs in order to get well. To this end, we work with our residents toward a common goal: full, long-term remission from this disease.
Do we cure addicts? No. Addiction is a chronic illness that never completely goes away. However, our state of the art treatment programs and specialized rehab counseling can effectively achieve remission for you or your loved ones to ensure a happy future, free of dependency and full of love and hope.
To achieve remission, we introduce abstinence-based treatment to our residents, which begins with a safe withdrawal from all controlled substances. Our rehabilitation programs include counseling and education on avoiding relapse, so that our clients may enjoy a life in recovery for many years. Our proven detoxification methods have allowed over 80% of our alumni to remain drug-free and productive at work and in their communities two years after leaving our facilities.
We can do the same for you or your loved one. Please contact us today to learn more about our abstinence-based programs for drug and/or alcohol addiction.
