Facility Summary:
Over 40 years ago the Lubavitcher Rebbe had the foresight to see the need for drug treatment among the college youth and the Chabad Treatment Center was opened. Chabad’s mission is to help clients free themselves from substance abuse and other harmful addictions, connect to their inner roots of spirituality and integrity, form healthy relationships, and build meaningful and fulfilling lives. We are truly a “family” oriented program and make life long connections with our residents. We stay in contact, celebrate sober birthdays, follow progress, attend weddings and other life events when possible, and enjoy holidays together. Chabad’s clinical philosophy views substance abuse as a reflection of underlying internal and social issues along with a need for greater skills and resilience to meet presenting challenges. Our program uses an integrated approach to treatment, incorporating clinical work, spirituality, 12-steps and improved wellness practices. Cognitive therapy clients often enter Chabad with accompanying feelings of anxiety and depression, unresolved traumas, cravings and thoughts about returning to drug usage. Cognitive behavioral therapy is utilized to challenge and replace thoughts and beliefs (many times unconscious) that are contributing to these negative feeling states, patterns of avoidance and addictive behaviors. Developmental therapy helps our clients recognize their core values and set paths towards meaningful lives. The emergence of “values” work is a fairly recent addition to cognitive behavioral therapy. Current research on integrating cognitive therapies with values clarification has shown positive outcomes in recovery and this has always been a significant part of Chabad’s treatment philosophy. By understanding the development themes that have emerged over the course of their lives, our clients are able to challenge their internal motivations and patterns. This creates an elevation of the regression that often occurs with substance abuse. Clients begin to experience their own inner strengths and personal integrity, and mutually caring relationships become prominent.
