The 12 Palms Difference is a staple of five major components in the addiction treatment plan at 12 Palms Recovery Center, encompassing real recovery, non-hospital setting, practical approach, outside fun and personalized attention.
It’s the personalized attention that helps set 12 Palms Recovery Center apart from many other treatment programs in Florida. 12 Palms employs a staff of 25 dedicated employees, including six counselors and therapists, all of whom are licensed in substance abuse treatment, social work and/or addiction therapies. Since 12 Palms Recovery Center maintains a census of approximately 25 clients, each client receives a personalized level of care not often found in other drug and alcohol treatment centers.
Once a client has been assessed and evaluated at 12 Palms Recovery Center, they are assigned to a counselor who will meet with them regularly. Their addiction treatment plan will consist of ongoing therapy sessions, where clients can discuss with their counselors the various actions and behaviors which may have led to their drug or alcohol abuse, the tools and resources that can be used when temptation sets in, and ongoing after rehab treatment options after the client has completed in-patient treatment.
For anyone who is struggling with alcohol addiction, the very thought of living life without alcohol for even one day is a scary proposition. Many have used alcohol to feel better about themselves, or to mask other feelings they’re trying to suppress. Living life without their magic elixir doesn’t seem possible.
For any addict that has achieved long-term recovery from drug or alcohol abuse, they know how hard their addiction works to constantly try and destroy their lives. For them, it doesn’t matter how long they have remained sober, they only know that if they become complacent in their recovery even for just a few minutes, their addiction will work to attack once again.
The disease of addiction is a disease of deception. It deceives addicts into thinking that their drug use is normal. It’s the only disease in the world that tells you that you don’t have a disease.
