Clinically Progressive Treatment Program
Beyond our 30 Day Assessment & Intervention Program, we have sectioned our Drug and Alcohol Treatment
Program into distinct yet integrated program stages. Each segment represents a phase of client involvement in the program as he or she moves through the stages of positive change. Progress depends
on client willingness, motivation, and movement towards identified
goals. (We help with that!)
Note: Client progress usually includes overlap
from one stage to the next.
Treatment
Planning
After assessment and detox: this is a planning and development stage resulting in an individualized Therapeutic
Treatment Plan that guides treatment and intervention while your child is in the program. At this stage it is hoped that the young person will be an active particpant in the goal setting process. Sessions are designed for clients in the "pre-contemplative" or "contemplative" stages of use - meaning youth who are in denial of the problem, can't recognize it or have only just begun to consider their substance abuse issues.
Intensive Treatment Services
Individual therapy and group skill building sessions that address the client's
risk factors for dependency, historical usage patterns,
barriers to treatment and recovery, impact of substance-abuse and
other presenting problems etc. The focus is on abstinence planning
and healthy choices. Youth are assisted in developing skills to eliminate substance-abusing behaviours and move
towards a drug-free lifestyle.
Transition
Planning
Counselling sessions continue. The focus however
shifts to developing an individualized "Relapse Prevention
Plan" to support the client in following through with newly
acquired skills once back in the original home environment. Clients
will be supported in learning to cope with identified triggers and how to avoid or handle 'high-risk' situations away from our program.
Skill strategies are utilized and perfected in the program, with family visiting and on home visits.
Holistic Approach
At Venture Academy, our approach is holistic in nature. We believe
in developing the whole person so that he or she can lead a healthy and positive lifestyle. Many addictions professionals consider
it futile to treat an addiction problem without addressing other
areas in a person's life. We agree. This is why we have developed and
offer a continuum of personal growth modules and practical experiential
learning sessions targeting essential developmental skills and healthy family functioning.
Counselling and skill building sessions include emotional growth
support with a focus on helathy lifestyle choices. Self care expectations and daily living tasks are monitored
and supported. Venture Academy also offers an array of recreational
opportunities.
We support young people in developing and implementing strategies
that improve their everyday functioning and have an ongoing
positive impact on the quality of their lives. We focus on solutions and skill
building. Our program is often chosen by parents looking for boarding school for troubled teens in Canada or boot camp etc.
