(I'm feeling cheerful) | | The Jude Thaddeus Program offered at the St. Jude Retreats is the first and only true drug rehab alternative program in the nation. In the late eighties, drug and alcohol rehabilitation was the fastest growing segment of the medical industry. As such, conventional alcohol and drug rehabilitation developed into an enormous industry. As the health insurance companies began their cutbacks in the mid nineties, and conventional alcohol and drug treatment began to downsize, the Jude Thaddeus Program began its growth as the first alcohol rehab alternative program.
Over the past twenty years, other programs have attempted to present themselves as alcohol and drug rehab alternative programs. However, on further examination, all of them continue to be based on the false dependence and disease model of addiction. The Jude Thaddeus Program is neither disease nor dependence based. Rather, we offer an alternative that is founded on the personal power of choice; the Freedom Model® philosophy. Within the Freedom Model® framework, our guests are able to build their new lives based on the pursuit of happiness, and taking responsibility for their past actions and their future goals. This philosophy is the alternative view. No conventional rehab allows for such motivation or freedom of thought and action. Our educational methods are based on a drive for happiness and personal success, not a false disease or learned helplessness or fear based religious paradigms.
It is remarkable how many programs today market themselves as an alternative alcohol rehab program or an alternative drug rehab program, when in fact they are repackaged AA under the guise of a holistic program. This phrase, “holistic program” is a dead ringer for any facility to make themselves sound like the Jude Thaddeus Program, but at the same time remain based on methods that are not scientifically proven, and which defy common sense. Learned helplessness (using terms such as “you are powerless,” etc.) has been proven for over 70 years to lower people’s chances for sustained sobriety. That is why the Jude Thaddeus Program is based on our guests learning how to become personally empowered and free of old damaging habits and behaviors.
If you desire a way to let go of support meetings and would like to finally put an end to endless treatment from continuous relapses, and if you desire a program that results in positivism, success, and freedom from hurtful habits, then the Jude Thaddeus Program offered at the St. Jude Retreats may be just what you are looking for. | | | 54 Views | 0  Thumbs Up | 0 Comments |  |
