Addiction rehab at The Recovery Place isnât just a program about drugs and alcohol. Sarah has been clean for 90 days now, and this start on a lifetime of recovery is due to the special approach taken at The Recovery Place. John, CEO of The Recovery Place, explains why NOT focusing solely on the drugs and addiction is crucial to the success of their clients. âThe drugs and alcohol addictions are the symptoms of disease, everybody's disease is different.â Using a client-centered approach (as opposed to a drug or alcohol centered one) The Recovery Place addiction rehab professionals helped Sarah uncover unresolved clinical issues which caused her addiction. Before entering therapy at The Recovery Place, Sarah didnât know how to handle the traumas in her life. The lifelong gift of overcoming addiction is something that John understands, too: heâs been clean and sober for 10 years.
