DAKOTA PRIDE CENTER

Treatment Philosophy:

We consider chemical dependency to be a physical, mental and spiritual disease and the chemically dependent person to be deserving of the same respect and dignity afforded to persons afflicted with any other illness. We believe that individual can recover from their disease and can rebuild abstinent productive lives in recovery.

We consider it essential to address the full spectrum of each client’s psychological, physical and spiritual needs. Without addressing the whole person, the individual struggling with addiction is left without all the necessary tools to return to a healthy fruitful life in recovery.

Recovery from addictive disorders is a process of transformation. And while we cannot provide a cure for addictive disorders or promise that our clients will not relapse, what we can do is prepare our clients to recognize and respond to their own relapse process. In this way, each client’s recovery is optimized.

Clients are encouraged to respect themselves and to take responsibility for their own lives. Recovery from chemical dependence requires a decision on the part of the client to accept and fully participate in the treatment process, and to encourage the participation of family and significant others, when appropriate.

We provide a supportive atmosphere to clients making the right decisions.
