Therapy And Treatment
12 Step Model
The philosophy of the 12 Step programme or model, underpins the treatment programme at Montrose Place. It is a traditional programme that has assisted people all over the world in achieving self-sustainable recovery from addiction, chemical dependence and other compulsive behaviours.
The key principles of the 12 Steps model are:
- admitting that one cannot control one's addiction or compulsion
- recognizing that a power greater than oneself can give strength and be a force for recovery
- examining past errors with the help of a more experienced individual
- making amends for these errors
- learning to live a new life with a new code of behaviour
- helping others that suffer from the same addictions or compulsions sustains the individual’s recovery process.
Adoption of the core elements of this powerful code of practice will minimise the likelihood of relapse and introduce the client to a global community of others in recovery.
