For Your Life Being Successful Being Addiction Free

Craving Reduction and Conquering Urges
You’ll feel empowered with tools and techniques that reduce and eliminate cravings. Learn how to identify the phases of the addictive cycle and how to utilize effective interventions at each phase to prevent lapses and ensure a successful, addiction-free life. You will gain powerful insight into how your mind works, and how you can disengage from your addictive brain, and actually gain the upper hand.

Family Program
As a part of your rehab program, you’ll receive several hours with a professional family therapist and any member of your family or significant others that you wish. The focus of these sessions is to assist you in clearing the air, gain understanding, and potentially create deeper intimacy and connection with them. Not a session of ‘shame and blame’, the emphasis is on building communication skills and establishing new agreements to help you rebuild and/or deepen your relationships. It’s also a great way for family members to learn how they can support the addiction-free lifestyle of their loved one.

Career and life assessment and guidance
“If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll end up somewhere else.” Career and life satisfaction can have a tremendous effect on self-esteem and become a major factor contributing to drug and alcohol dependency. In-depth career testing, assessment, career awareness and marketing assistance, are provided to clients who are looking for vocational or avocational direction with greater satisfaction and greater sense of purpose.

Our professional staff will also help you develop a comprehensive transition plan that is unique to you, and that will provide meaningful plans for returning home and staying addiction-free.

AfterCare and lifelong support
Desert Canyon’s rehab program provides ongoing support through three conference calling sessions of AfterCare each week. Facilitated by a licensed, professional therapist, AfterCare gives alumni the support and guidance they need to maintain their addiction-free life. It’s also a great way to stay current with other former clients and friends you’ve made in the program. AfterCare is available to you free for life, if needed.

Our Online Discussion Forum is also available to help you stay in touch, learn about new tools, techniques, books and CDs, and gain support from other former clients and from our professional staff.
