Recovery begins with
the crucial first step of detoxification. This can be
a stressful, demanding process as the body works to
cleanse itself of chemicals so mind and spirit can begin
to heal.
CLARE's Detox/Primary Program aids in the transition
to sobriety by providing a safe, secure environment
and professional assistance to men and women seeking
to rid themselves of addiction.
Every 3 - 5 days,
CLARE's compassionate, non-medical detoxification program
guides them through the often-difficult process of physical
detoxification. CLARE staff members provide round-the-clock
supervision, constant support, and expertise as they
help clients back to the stable ground of sobriety.
Clients who require medical attention during the detoxification
process are transferred to a medical facility. Staff
members also connect clients to mental health programs,
medical health care programs and other social services
as needed.
Once detoxification
is complete, clients transfer to CLARE's Primary Program.
A rigorous schedule of 12-step meetings, case management,
one-on-one counseling, drug/alcohol education, discussion
groups, program chores and daily reflections helps clients
discover the causes of their addiction and establish
the habits and routines of a sober, self-sufficient
life.
