Practical Recovery - Reunion San Diego

If twelve step programs aren't for you, this might be the answer. I recommend it without reservation. While its not the most luxurious of all rehabs, Reunion is very comfortable and tasteful. I'd rather spend the money on treatment! I found the staff uniformly caring. The clinical staff is superb. They treat you like an adult and design the treatment plan for you specifically. Generally you attend group therapy first thing, and then you have 2 individual psychotherapy sessions, each day. The point is to build you up, not to drag you down. You are encouraged to trust your judgement and to take responsibility for the choices you make, in a sympathetic and caring way. You can read what you want, talk to people on your phone (of course this is not encouraged in sessions), and you have lots of time to practice mindfulness. On my first visit here I began to note levels of anxiety I'd never noticed before; and that was partly due to the time I was able to spend alone. If you want to be marched from meeting to meeting in a rigid schedule, this is not the place for you. The treatment is based in part on Smart Recovery, which treats addictive behavior primarily as a bad habit, not as a moral failing. For example, relapses are not encouraged, but if you do relapse you encouraged to learn from the experience in a shame-free environment. But the staff goes far deeper than Smart Meetings (I'm an enthusiastic Smart volunteer) to find out why you were using. I liked the other residents a lot; they were uniformly bright and accomplished. I relapsed two years after treatment and returned. This time the staff concentrated on helping me find meaning in my life, in particular, by picking a new career. The staff organizes outings for shopping, and movies and the like. San Diego has the best weather in the country (my other option was winter in Minnesota); that made the stay particularly pleasant. The program is expensive but I'd have to say it was worth every penny. Before I went to Reunion, my therapist told me I would not enjoy the experience which I think reflects the orientation of many programs to regiment you, which even great therapists are inured to. I did some difficult psychological work, sure, but I really enjoyed my stays at Reunion.

Michael's House

1on1 Counselor/Counseling (I had a good counselor; others not so good) Residential Counselors tend to have jail-house mentality in running the place. You feel "stuck" when you're there. RC's always take the side of the kitchen & housekeeping staff who, in turn, look down upon and provoke patients. They try to milk more money out of you. The Aftercare Coordinators don't hold true to their word. There are some RC's that are great. My counselor was awesome. The head of the clinical team as a God complex.

Finding Lompoc Treatment Programs

Lompoc, California is an agricultural community located near the coast about 45 minutes northwest of Santa Barbara. One of the community's chief claims to fame is viticulture: wine-tasting tours are a major part of the local economy.

Almost 30 years ago, an article appeared in the Chicago Tribune in which concern was expressed over increasing wine consumption among young, professional women and the ways in which wine was being marketed to this demographic as "a sophisticated drink that is associated with the 'good life.'" There was speculation as to whether or not such an image - along with the perception of wine as being less potent than hard liquor - might lead to increasing rates of alcoholism.

The bottom line is that it doesn't matter what form of alcohol is abused - all alcoholic beverages have the same potential to create dependency. Such dependency often requires professional recovery services.

Items to Take to Treatment Centers

When arrangements are made for residential recovery services, the patient is usually provided with a list of items to bring, such as clothing, reading material, prescription medications, and pocket money. Prohibited items usually include personal electronic devices and any toiletries or medications containing alcohol. It's also advised that patients leave expensive jewelry or large sums of cash at home.

Are Wine Drinkers Less Likely to Be Alcoholics?

According to a 1999 article in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol, those who were exclusively wine drinkers were intoxicated less frequently and had a lower rate of alcoholism. Some of the reasons:

Wine drinkers typically drink less in general
Social expectations and standards of behavior
Most wine consumption takes place with meals
Wine enthusiasts often drink pricier wines so expense becomes an issue
