Traditional therapies have long been a disaster. Causing more damage than good, in many cases. Residential programs that don't work are treated like a race-to-the-finish, one size fits all, while every patient is expected to adhere to a daily course of intensive activity after another'. Patients learn to comply with this format to avoiding conflict but very little change occurs, which misleads patients and families by the tens of thousands; "They did so well in rehab; we just don't understand why our family member relapsed after returning home" Loved-ones relapse after returning home because they weren't afforded the proper environment for real change to take place. Out-patient programs aren't much different and can be just as exhausting and ineffective due to a lack of trauma-understanding among therapists who may focus more on problems and feelings instead of pain and solutions. Many patients are actually traumatized by their treatment from traditional program-models and quickly return to old behaviors. JUSTIN'S LIGHTHOUSE understands this dysfunctional dynamic, perhaps, better than any program, which is why we offer a completely different style of treatment and services. Being forced into compliance. labels, and ideas are good for some people, but not all people. Real recovery happens when patients are allowed the space and time to slow down (not hurry up), making it possible for them actually learn about the true causes of their conditions. All in an environment that encourages questions and feedback. 3 key elements that bring about change and healing, every time: 1) Give space slow down (not speed up) 2) Teach tons of new information that is relevant to the individual. 3) Provide a safe space to practice what they are learning while giving the body, mind, and spirit a chance to heal and recover, also.
