Solutions Retreat

Alcoholism and drug addiction are usually acquired by experiencing the disease usually over long periods of time. Our solution is to experience recovery at our Addiction Alcohol Treatment Center. At Solutions Retreat we know the solution does not come from attending lectures. Your loved one didn't get the disease by listening to lectures.

You are not alone. The U.S. Center for Disease Control estimates that "about 4.5% of men and 2.5% of women met the diagnostic criteria for alcohol dependence in the past year." One out of every three households has an individual in its extended family that is currently addicted to a mind altering substance.

If your loved-one's addiction alcoholism frustrates you, you are not alone. It is not possible for you to understand what thoughts are running through the mind of your alcoholic or drug addict. It is not possible for you to know what he is feeling. Have you admitted to yourself that you cannot control his problem without outside help?

Many frustrated loved-ones have asked: "Why does God allow the disease of alcoholism and addiction to exist?" Or alternatively: "Why hasn't natural selection eliminated this disease?" If you have had thoughts like this, you are not a bad person. Just a frustrated person with a sick loved-one.

You've probably heard this before, but some of the most intelligent and creative people on this planet have had (or currently have) problems with alcoholism and drug addiction.What would our lives be like without the intelligence and creativity they have shared with us? It is hard to imagine life without the innovations they have provided society.

From the ExperientialRecovery.org website: Experiential Recovery involves actions, movements, and activities. It encourages clients to identify and address hidden or subconscious issues through a range of other active experiences. Clients tend to focus on the activity at hand and drop the guards they have built over their lives that have been blocking recovery and causing relapse.
