Alcoholism Treatment Center

Your reason for getting sober may be the simple realization that life is not working anymore. But where do you start? How do you know what steps to take when you’ve already tried everything you know, and it’s still not working? Why go to an alcoholism treatment center?

At SouthCoast Recovery's alcoholism treatment center, we offer a variety of workshops on life skills and substance abuse education. Our skilled counselors will lead you on a journey of self-discovery where you learn to make better choices, ultimately leading to a life in sobriety full of purpose and happiness.

Twelve Step Core Alcohol Program

The 12-step model is the most widely recognized and successful basis for recovery in the treatment community and forms the core of our alcohol program. It is founded on the principle of reliance on a power greater than yourself, whatever you define that power to be. We recognize that people come from a variety of backgrounds, cultures, beliefs and experiences. Relying on something besides yourself is not new to you – you’ve probably been relying on drugs and alcohol for years. We don’t dictate a particular belief but we will build on what you believe. We combine the 12-step methodology with the finest clinical & medical care and advance holistic processes for lifelong renewal of mind, body and spirit.

The following is a partial description of workshops that may be included as part of your individual treatment plan but is by no means complete:

Twelve Step Study

One step is addressed each week, in order, consisting of a description of the step, an explanation of what the step is for, and how to work the step. This is followed by a process group where the step is discussed and explored. At the same time, we encourage a dialogue between a resident's sponsor and our program to ensure we are all moving in the same direction and in synch with the sponsor's specific program. The sponsor and client are regarded as a long term relationship. Our relationship with the client, though formative, is a temporary one and we plant the seeds for behavior leading to long term sobriety.

Relapse Triggers

Relapse is a medical term describing the returning signs and symptoms of a disease after apparent recovery. It is not unusual for relapse to occur in the early stages of sobriety, but it doesn’t have to be part of your story. Although we provide every means necessary to prevent relapse, it can be a learning tool that indicates more work needs to be done to maintain sobriety. We show you how to identify relap
