For many years, drug treatment essentially involved locking addicts up in an asylum or psych ward, never to be seen or heard from again. Thought to be a danger society, it was largely thought that putting them behind closed doors was the best option.

Fortunately, addicts today have better options, and at 12 Palms Recovery Center, those options include a comprehensive set of drug treatment options designed to give each and every client an opportunity to live a life beyond their wildest dreams.

The dedicated staff of counselors and therapists at 12 Palms has devised a set of drug treatment options that utilize the newest psychotherapy modalities combined with time-tested treatment options. All six of the counselors and therapists are certified in addiction counseling, and each one of them are also recovering addicts and alcoholics themselves. They have walked in the shoes of their clients, and oftentimes they share their own experiences in addiction and recovery to help gain the trust of their clients. Once a client believes in their counselor and trusts them, they become more willing to discuss how their past behaviors and actions triggered their addiction, and their counselor can then begin the task of putting together a strategy to help them succeed and avoid high-risk situations in the future.

Psychotherapeutic options in drug treatment are certainly vital in helping an addict recover, however, at 12 Palms, counselors and therapists have dedicated their lives to helping its clients, and doing whatever it takes to help them achieve sobriety. Psychotherapy is a big part of that, but their ability to reach their clients and get them to open up and become willing to recover is the biggest key.

Many drug and alcohol treatment centers across the country employ counselors and therapists who are also recovering addicts, but at 12 Palms, each counselor has a vested interest in their clients’ success—they take it personally when a client relapses, and re-dedicate themselves to ensuring that client won’t relapse again. That’s part of the 12 Palms Difference—personalized attention.

Private drug rehab facilities across the world help their clients with a variety of drug treatment options in order to achieve sobriety. However, 12 Palms uses every resource possible to make sure that no client is ever left behind.
