GSBH will perform a free Family Intervention for families who choose to use our GSBH treatment center. Please call for details.

The next phase of treatment is where the client begins to realize that they have made poor choices over the years and that there is no one else to blame but themselves. They will also learn about how the disease of addiction has affected them and their families. This is the period of “spiritual awakenings.” All of a sudden, things will become crystal clear to the client. Clients will also begin to identify their using triggers and how to put a relapse prevention plan into action. Clients will begin to try and re-establish broken family relationships when appropriate. Clients will begin to make plans for discharge or to another level of care.

Treatment Goals for Phase II:

• A further breaking down of the resistance to new ideas
• Continued step work with a sponsor
• Service work for the community and peers giving the client a sense of accomplishment
• To begin practicing spiritual principles in all phases of a clients’ life
• Acceptance of a therapeutic relationship with counselors, therapists, and peers
• Developing a relapse prevention plan
• Continued participation of 12-step meetings and participation in recovery activities other than meetings
• Possible overnight field trips to locations that will promote individual self awareness
• The realization that unhealthy relationships can cause further problems after discharge
• Forming positive relationships with other people in recovery outside the treatment center
• Continued strides to heal relationships with family members

During this phase clients will learn how to live life on life’s terms without the use of mind or mood altering drugs. They will accept the fact that if they ever use again that they will end up in jail, another institution, or dead. They will also learn that their families are being educated at the same time they are and will no longer tolerate their adverse behavior in the future. The will begin making responsible decisions the will effect their peers and the center as a whole. Clients will begin to put everything they have learned into a manageable life plan.
