Family Program:
An important part of your treatment is our Family Program – as family therapy has been found to increase the chances of an addict maintaining long-term recovery. It involves active participation from your family members and educates them about addiction and the recovery process.
Length of Stay:
Your duration of stay at The Mehar Foundation depends on several factors, such as your personal requirements and level of addiction. The duration can vary from 4-6 months.
Treatment:
Psychotherapy:
The psychological side of treatment is the most important as addiction is primarily a psycho/socio/behavioral disorder. This is accomplished through daily group therapy sessions, individual counseling and Mindfulness therapy.
We use a holistic treatment program called Recovery Zones, which is a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), 12 Steps and Mindfulness Meditation.
CBT is a personalized approach that we adapt to suit each patients individual needs. We also practice the recognized 12 Steps method that our clinical team has customized to be both culturally-sensitive and relevant to modern day life. Therapeutic meditation techniques, which include Mindfulness meditation, and yoga have been proven to help in treating addiction by managing stress and helping to reduce cravings.
Exercise Therapy compliments this core program, and includes personal training and group sessions.
