Self Description:

“Intensive relapse treatment and prevention program for chemical dependency and dual diagnosis.”

Treatment Philosophy:

“Challenges provides treatment that is structured, directive and sup- portive. It supports the individual by assuming there is a healthy, motivated person who wants to recover. It does not enable or ignore the self-defeating behavior, instead, it helps the client find more constructive ways of approaching the problem.”

Approach to Dual Diagnosis:

“Challenges takes a holistic approach in treating the patient. Dual diagnosis patients are a part of the general population and are medically managed by our psychiatrist as needed.”

Family Program:

“Family education and support are key to our clients’ recovery. AlAnon and NarAnon are strongly encouraged and meetings are held on site.”

Position on 12 Step Involvement:

“Integrated as a component of traditional modalities in relapse prevention care.”

Position on Confrontation:

“A useful technique when used in a positive, supportive and caring manner to overcome behavioral denial.”

Additional Characteristics:

“Challenges is highly intensive, short term, goal directed, specializing exclusively in relapse treatment and prevention.”
