Addiction Recovery with a Muskoka Twist

The time has come that addiction is no longer pushed into the dark corners and stigmatized the people that suffer from this disease as Lowlife junkies, or drunks, just to name a few. Today its executives, educated and respected individuals such as CEO's, doctors, lawyers, business people, housewives and their beloved family members. Pickerel Lake Recovery Center caters to these such people and their families by offering a professional and respectable way to recover with dignity and respect and of course the great Muskoka atmosphere with its 140 acres of complete serenity located on beautiful Pickerel Lake. Executive Director John Haines decided that coming from the Toronto City center and a location also in the Toronto suburbs that people suffering from addiction could be far removed from the destructive shadow of the big city in which they once practiced their addictive lifestyle to learn how to recover and get back in touch with their true inner self.

Pickerel Lake Recovery employs several professionals educated and trained in addiction recovery, counseling, and various therapies and almost all are recovered addicts and alcoholics with several years themselves in recovery. Pickerel Lake Recovery also employs resort workers such as chefs, massage therapists, group workshop facilitators, administration and hospitality. The only thing stopping people from a new life is usually the ignorant actions and words of others and what they themselves would be labelled in a general government funded facility with the in and out 21-30 days they offer. The success rates of these government run facilities is usually somewhere between 15 and 20% compared to the success rate of Pickerel Lake Recovery's proven program from its 4 yrs of running program which has been constant between 60 to 70% with its 60 or 90 day program.

Addiction is typically a chronic disorder characterized by occasional relapses. A short-term, one time treatment is usually not sufficient. For many, treatment is a long-term process that involves multiple interventions and regular monitoring. The Pickerel Lake Recovery Treatment Center has a proprietary program that tailors treatment to the individual and succeeds in treating the addiction. The team of professionals at Pickerel Lake Recovery Center are qualified in every way to help those with addictions. They are experienced and have taken great measures to provide the most effective means to the recovery process.    

Haines says that you need to give yourself that chance to regain your successful and happy life back and know that "every life is worth saving"
