What makes a recovery center successful? At The Recovery Place we have an approach that keeps the client at the center of care, not the addiction. The drug and alcohol use is just a symptom of underlying problems. Rachel, now clean for 14 months, explains âI definitely thought that using would make me a better person. I started abusing [cocaine] at 12 with my mother.â After residential treatment at TRPs rehab facility in Florida, Rachel realized how her pain and trauma had led to her addictive behavior. Many rehab centers have treatment tracks that are too short, or too focused only on addiction. The professional addiction specialists at The Recovery Place view this approach as self-defeating; without specific coping and life skills, and an understanding of what led to the addiction, clients will almost always relapse. At The Recovery Place the clientâs unique problems and needs are at the center of therapy, and this is where solid success in recovery is found.
