abstinence from drugs and alcohol is essential. Treatment leads to a
new direction in achieving a fulfilling and meaningful life. It is the
beginning of a life-long journey in recovery with sober friends and
strong support networks.
The 12 Steps
The addiction treatment delivered to patients at Castle Craig Hospital is known as Twelve Step Treatment (or the Minnesota Model). This is the most widely used treatment for alcoholism, drug and gambling addiction in the western world.
Abstinence
Addiction is viewed as a disease and complete abstinence from all mind-altering drugs is necessary for long-lasting recovery.
Detoxification
Detox
is a vital part of addiction treatment. At Castle Craig individual
detoxification plans are personalised to ensure that detox is both as
safe and as comfortable as possible.
Personal and group therapy
The personalised addiction treatment programme is intensively structured and there is an overall consistency and clarity of focus. Each patient is assigned a focal therapist (cursor) who will conduct individual psychotherapy. Group therapy sessions are held twice daily. Specialised group therapy includes:
Educational therapy
The psycho-educational lecture component reinforces the group process and patients receive approximately 60 lectures during the six-week treatment period. The daily lectures by the clinical team cover a broad range of topics including:
