ABOUT US - Matthew's Path

MISSION

This environment of acceptance, mutual respect, and non-judgment are key to showing you’re not alone, help is available, and you are not to blame for your addiction. Group therapy will enable you to reconcile with the things you have done in the past without making excuses, while also acknowledging addiction is out of your hands.

VISION

Creating personalized programs is only possible with the consent and openness of the people we are treating. The professionals at our addiction recovery clinics will not be able to help you if they don’t know how you need help. In addition, the clients that will sit in group meetings with you will not want to give you advice or support if they think you are not giving your all to the program and being transparent with them and the employees.

VALUES

Honesty is a pillar of the community that is bonded through group meetings. It is remarkable how much you can gain from feeling like you’re part of a community. The bonds that are cultivated here may even last long after you have left one of our addiction treatment facilities. They are very vital to the process of recovery.

A LITTLE ABOUT US

Another helpful aspect of addiction treatment are holistic methods that are encouraged during and after treatment. When your brain is dependent upon a drug, you will need to retrain it to seek pleasure in viable and rewarding places. You won’t be able to enjoy pleasure in ways that aren’t your drug of choice at first, but slowly you will be able to take part in legitimate pleasure. We start to bridge this gap with yoga, hiking, meditation, and other exercises. These activities will retrain your brain to look for the release of neurotransmitters in ways that are rewarding to you.

Behavioral Therapies

After you get through detox, you will be ready to start long-term therapy. First, you will work on a personalized addiction recovery plan with your therapist. Your program will be customized to your needs and built around you and your situation. It will be informed by many things, but perhaps the most important will be dual diagnosis screening and treatment. Nearly half of all people with an addiction are also struggling with an underlying mental health illness. Those who have a dual diagnosis require treatment for both ailments in order to stay sober. Dual diagnosis allows you to get the treatment you need while working on your overall mental health and happiness. Individual therapy will be the agent for all this.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is also beneficial, though. During group sessions, you will speak with other clients and share your story, hear theirs, and exchange valuable advice that will likely stay with you long after you have left one of Matthew’s Path’s substance abuse centers. The community bonds that are formed here will support you, encourage you, inspire you, and motivate you. The love and support of the other clients will be an incredible asset.
