Why
Awakening
Recovery
Center?
Awakening Recovery Center
provides a unique approach to the treatment of alcohol, opiate,
cocaine and other drug addictions.
We understand, on a personal level, what you are going
through. You are not
alone. We have helped
many people just like you get on the road to recovery and stay there
beyond treatment through the use of a community-based sober support
system.
Our treatment involves combining one-on-one counseling with group
meetings and encourages the use of safe, effective FDA-approved
medications to help with the urges or cravings for alcohol, opiates
or other substances. In
addition, we encourage the use of nutritional supplementation and
exercise to assist in the repair of brain chemistry impaired by
substance abuse.
Awakening treatment focuses on the whole person and emphasizes
learning how to deal effectively with the underlying issues that
lead to and perpetuate addictive behaviors
The four components of the Awakening Recovery Program are:
-
Psychological
- Using cognitive behavioral therapy to learn how to be happy
once again without the use of substances.
-
Neurobiological
- Addressing the biochemical component of chemical dependency
with nutritional supplementation and, when medically indicated,
using craving reduction medications such as
Vivatrol,
Suboxone,
Campral and others as they become available.
-
Environmental
- Addressing family or relationship issues; dealing with old
“friends”; addressing legal or employment issues.

many people seeking recovery and we encourage exploration of
