Overcoming a drug or alcohol addiction requires structure, support, and education. Those who have tried to overcome an addiction in the past know that without any one of these factors, recovery is nearly impossible.

The Riverbank House offers men seeking to recover from substance abuse or dependence the chance to recover in a structured, supportive environment in which they can learn how best to overcome their destructive behavior and implement positive spiritual and physical changes into their lives. The Riverbank House’s alcohol and substance abuse program is aimed at giving patients the mental tools they need to beat their addictions once and for all.

Challenges with Drug & Alcohol Addiction Recovery

Substance abuse issues are rarely the only problem in an addict’s life. Psychologists suggest that, most often, substance abuse problems are the symptom of a much more deeply-rooted problem such as mental illness, psychological trauma, and other problems. In order to overcome any type of addiction, addicts must first address what is causing them to turn to drugs or alcohol in the first place, which can be very difficult for most patients.

Other challenges with alcohol and drug recovery stem from a lack of structure or support during the actual recovery process. Addicts are known to lie, manipulate, and even break the law in order to satisfy their addictions; and without structure their behavior can get out of hand. Without a support system to encourage the patient during hard times and hold them accountable for their behavior, the likelihood of recovery is slim to none.

Addiction Recovery Program Phases

· Phase I: Foundation
Phase I is centered on orientation into the program and getting each patient off on the right foot. Patients participate in goal setting sessions to create realistic benchmarks for their treatment, attend group sessions to learn how to show and receive support, and are introduced to Alcoholics Anonymous Steps 1-3. Phase I also involves a good deal of self-reflection and writing, daily meditation, and yoga in order to keep thoughts and actions in harmony with a healthy lifestyle.

· Phase II: Implementation
Phase II of the program involves participation in Foundation Phase activities as well as Solo No More activities. Patients will also begin career planning and have the opportunity to participate in education classes, financial planning, and life management classes. Most importantly, they begin full immersion into AA steps 4-8 with sponsor assistance.

· Phase III: Vigilance
Phase III allows patients to work extensively with a recovery coach to examine and strengthen their self-action. Riverbank House’s staff will work with patients to help them set short-term and long-term goals to monitor their progress post-recovery. Patients also begin work on AA steps 9-12 .

· Phase IV: Transitional Living
Phase IV is crucial for patients to begin acclimating themselves to life outside of the rehabilitation center. Patients are relocated to an independent living in local recovery supportive housing where they continue to implement the 12 steps and attend weekly meetings with their own recovery coach.
