Today's Webinar: Developmental Recovery – A Habilitation Model of Care
FacebookLinkedInTwitter
Wed, November 29, 2017 @ 3:00 - 4:00 pm ET
(2 CT/1 MT/12 PT)

Presented by Robert Neri, LMHC, CAP, this presentation discusses how habilitation clients are creating a framework for recovery for the first time. Many deficits in the areas of knowledge, critical thinking, values, and emotional literacy are present. Constructing a recovery plan requires psycho-education, role playing, testing, building social support, treating institutionalization, and a clear model of care for core clinical issues (e.g., power and control, excitement, crisis, and chaos, rigid defense mechanisms, emotional manipulation, social support etc.). This session focuses on aspects unique to this particular client and strategies to facilitate emotional growth in recovering.

  here are two polarizing opinions about those who live with an addiction. On one hand, there is the Disease Model and on the other side is the belief that addicts are morally bankrupt people.
The Disease model takes the stance that addiction is caused by a combination of biological, neurological, genetic, and environmental factors. This is perhaps one of the most well-known models of addiction, largely because of its endorsement by the twelve-step approach to treatment in the publication of The Big Book (Alcoholics Anonymous).
The second viewpoint on addiction is that addicts are morally bankrupt and that either an addict was raised with no morals or throughout the course of their life, they lost their morals. Also, that they either do not realize the problem morally with their actions or they just don't care.
There are pros and cons to both sides. On the side of moral bankruptcy, you have the fact that addicts are made responsible for their addiction, which is a plus, but this also results in people looking on addicts as garbage and that they should be left to their own devices and not helped.
The reverse seems to be true for the disease model. 
 




They are not responsible for their addiction as they have a disease. This belief leaves the door open to people being more sympathetic toward an addict.
How about an approach that incorporates the best from both? Narconon's approach is different than both of these. Drug addicts are not inherently morally bankrupt, and they do not have a disease they will struggle with the rest of their life.
The approach is that people have problems in life. Some face their problems head-on, some just run from their problems. With addicts, they deal with the problems in their life by using drugs. Whether it be pain, emotional distress, social problems—you name a problem and it could be a reason someone is addicted to a drug.
Each person can be assisted to address their problems and handle them. Then they come to the point where they learn they are not powerless. They don’t have to be blamed and are not looked at as being terrible people.
Narconon is a different approach. If your loved one has not been able to remain sober from other drug treatment programs, learn more about this different approach today by calling us or filling out the form below.
 
 
Narconon New Life Retreat offers beautiful and comfortable facilities matched with a highly successful non 12 step program which results in higher success rate
 

Finding The Music

The journey back from drug addiction is different for each of us.  No matter where we come from or how our addiction affected us we can all learn from each other.
 

Stepping Stones to Recovery

 Life before Narconon was pretty much a big game to me, just not a survival one.  Life got to the point that I started to get amused by pain and I didn’t even care about anything anymore
 

Got My Life Back

How does someone wind up addicted to drugs? The truth is each person’s descent into drug addiction is different. This amazing story shows us a different perspective on how a person becomes addicted to drugs.
Later this month a new group of hurting and broken young men and women will arrive here at His Mansion.
December 2017 Newsletter 

Kim S.
Bringing Life  


     "There was always a sense of togetherness in my childhood home, but it was lacking connection.  Whether in public school or youth group, I never developed a sense of my own identity.  I was constantly clinging to or wanting to be part of whatever the group was doing.
     "At age 12, I was sexually abused, which continued intermittently for the next 8 years.  At age 14, I drank alcohol for the first time.  I didn't have anybody to talk to about anything.  I stuffed it all.  I became even more self-focused, confused, and withdrawn."
Gifts from God's People
   

Each Christmas season, we have the pleasure of working to create loving and joyful memories where our men and women have previously experienced pain and loneliness.  One way we do this is by providing personalized gifts on Christmas Day.

Will you join us in this restorative holiday tradition?

One of the easiest ways to help make the holidays special is to send an extra gift that will be used to bless those who currently call His Mansion home.  
   
Should the Lord provide in excess of our needs, supplemental donations will go toward His Mansion's regular operations.
