Successful Drug Rehab and Alcohol Program Characteristics

Pioneering addiction treatment program discusses its approach and characteristics of program

The field of drug addiction treatment and alcoholism treatment has witnessed substantial changes in the past decade. Mountainside in Connecticut opened its doors 11 years ago and set forth in a new direction that quickly gained followers and soon became a phenomenon in the addiction treatment field – individualized treatment. It was their pioneering approach to treatment and departure from standardized treatment that attracted the attention of many facilities that were closing their doors. In a short period of time the Mountainside Treatment Model which included progressive treatment modalities helped to transform the field of addiction treatment and resulted in an invitation by the White House to Washington DC to discuss with the Drug Czar how it was possible to be providing so much and receiving such results for a fraction of the cost of other centers.

Mountainside attributes its success to the diverse treatment offerings and the compassionate team of professionals who treat their client’s individual needs and not just the symptoms. The focus of addiction treatment is to spark the desire of individuals to want to recover and for them to gain an understanding of, and how to incorporate, healthy decision making. The diversity of its innovative programming and team of professionals that manage the components is the key to its success. Each client that enters Mountainside is thoroughly diagnosed and the various parts of a successful treatment plan are identified. The unique and diverse programming offerings allow Mountainside to appeal to a diverse clientele base.

The successful methodology of its treatment involves each client to go through stages of recognition, recovery, aftercare and healthy lifestyle planning.
