Bringing Relief and Comfort
Although there are millions of active, recovering and recovered substance abusers in the world, it is common for those in early recovery to feel alone — intensely alone. The 12 Palms staff, each of whom is a recovered addict, helps allay these early anxieties and fears. When our clients feel they can talk to someone who understands what they're going through they often report feeling comforted and relieved.
Compassion and Empathy
From the early stages of withdrawal to our individualized aftercare programs, our staff is standing by our recovery family every step of the way. We provide the tools and resources our clients need to reengage with family members, business associates and other loved ones. They suggest real-world solutions to everyday problems. They don't just teach clients how to get through rehab.
Living the Sober Dream
Because our staff is comprised of recovered addicts and alcoholics they are excellent examples of what is possible beyond a life of substance abuse. Clients learn that recovery — real recovery — is not just possible, but enjoyable.
In addition, the 12 Palms Recovery Center only accepts about 30 clients at one time. Although we could accept more we believe that personal attention, an individualized treatment plan and smaller group counseling sessions benefit our holistic treatment approach. Our counselors and specialists share their own recovery experiences so our clients know what to expect when navigating their own paths to recovery.
Real Recoveries, Real People
The 12 Palms Recovery Center focuses on providing real recoveries for real people who want to reengage successfully with the world outside rehab. Contact 12 Palms, speak to our knowledgeable staff and find out how our multidisciplinary approach, medically-assisted withdrawal and incredible activities will help you or a loved one chart a path to sobriety today.
