Residential Program
For many individuals suffering from chemical dependency, residential treatment optimizes their ability to successfully recover and maintain a drug-free life. House of Freedom offers short and long term residential treatment for those individuals that fit criteria. Additionally, House of Freedom has adopted an Evidenced-Based Practice (EBP) Curriculum: Living in Balance that seeks to help the individual recover mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Living in Balance draws from cognitive, behavioral, and experiential treatment approaches by employing the use of didactic education and instruction, written exercises, group process interaction through role plays and discussion, relaxation and visualization exercises, and group-oriented recreational therapy exercises.
Living in Balance promotes relapse prevention by helping
persons served to:
• Identify situations that trigger cravings;
• Understand the chain of events, including “small decisions,” that leads from trigger to drug use;
• Disrupt the chain at an early point;
• Cope with triggers by using thought-stopping, visualization, and relaxation techniques;
• Develop immediate alternatives to drug use;
• Develop a long-term plan for full recovery;
• Work through recovery issues with written exercises.
