I do not need to be in a place like that, I like to be in places where I am comfortable and they treat me well, but the counselors here are very rude and bad-tempered.
About St. Gregory Recovery Center
St. Gregory Recovery Center is an addiction and mental health facility in Bayard, Iowa. Adults can access medical detox, residential care, and outpatient programs to reach recovery. With one of the most advanced expert-backed programs nationwide, their treatment approach is solely based on research and science.
One thing that stands out to me about them is their empowerment-based treatment approach. Instead of teaching you how not to use substances, they focus on the underlying causes of your addiction and how to address them. Their program aims to help you reach stabilization, change your thinking, develop new habits, retrain your brain, and strengthen your body. It utilizes a unique treatment approach with behavior modification training, life-skills exercises, and cognitive behavior therapy. You can incorporate spirituality, religion, health, and wellness into your treatment plan as you see fit.
Another thing I found interesting about them is they don’t offer 12 Step programming. Many treatment programs use 12 Step groups, like Alcoholics Anonymous, to supplement expert-backed therapeutic interventions. A fundamental of the 12 Step philosophy is relinquishing control over your addiction to a higher power. But, they don’t believe people are powerless over their addiction They instead provide their distinctive treatment curriculum to help you overcome addiction for good without lifelong care.
