Family Information For Drug and Alcohol Treatment
At Decision Point our goal is to help everyone who comes to us for treatment develop the kind of self-awareness that enables them to discover their strengths, and become the healthy, loving and sober people they aspire to be. This process begins with recognizing that addiction is a disease, not a personal or moral failure. It continues with understanding the role trauma and co-occurring mental health disorders play in addiction. Because addiction affects all aspects of life, our treatment program is holistic and comprehensive. It includes a variety of therapy and psychoeducational groups, individual therapy, trauma treatment, Career and Financial Development, and active recovery activities. Experience has demonstrated that this approach is effective in achieving long lasting recovery. Read here to learn more about warning signs and families often miss.
