Educational Lectures

One of the most important components of a drug rehab center is education about the disease of addiction and other co-occurring disorders. For most, addicts do not understand the nature of addiction nor that addiction is a disease. It is important to provide honest, current information in a way that leaves out blame or shame.

Instead, we aim to take responsibility for our disease and for our lives. In our educational lectures, clients learn about important issues such as:

• Planning for sobriety
