When looking for a Long Term Drug Treatment Program there are many things to consider. Habilitat can work for anyone, but it’s not for everyone. It is our belief that any type of addiction is going to take a great deal of time to conquer. Each day in the United States hundreds of people are admitted and discharged from drug treatment programs. Many of these individuals did not even have the chance to rid their bodies of chemicals. Nonetheless, they begin their journey with rudimentary knowledge of what their problem is. We do not subscribe to the notion that addiction is a “disease”. If you would like to read up on some science about the “disease” of addiction, check out this article from thecleanslate.org.
Over four decades ago, Habilitat was founded on the idea that addicts could recover if they were willing to work toward independence and self-reliance. Founded in 1971, Habilitat continues to teach the same principles that are associated with success. Honesty, integrity, self-discipline and resiliency are all concepts that are at the center of our philosophy. Habilitat has helped thousands of people throughout the years.
To date, the problem of substance abuse continues to tear at the very fabric of our society. Addictive drugs are more plentiful than ever. The lifestyle that goes along with drug addiction includes felonious crimes that lead to incarceration. A long term drug treatment program is far better than a jail sentence. Habilitat offers a way out for those who are willing to do the work.
Habilitat is an alternative to the Twelve Step approach to substance abuse. Over the course of one’s stay the individual takes a crash course in life and the values needed to flourish in it. Habilitat graduates leave with a re-energized moral core rooted in honesty, integrity, hard work, and commitment.
