Our Philosophy

Our Philosophy

We believe that addiction is a brain disease characterized by habitual and excessive chemical usage or behaviors which interferes with an individual’s mental and physical health, interpersonal relations, family life, and economic and occupational functioning. Although it is a chronic, progressive disease, it is treatable, and recovery is a realistic treatment objective for any patient and his/her family. Addiction itself is an illness, and not merely a symptom of underlying pathology.

We believe that no addicted person can return to the use of alcohol/drugs without a regression in his/her recovery, but because we recognize this illness as chronic, a relapse or regression is not to be equated with failure in treatment. Because addiction impairs the individual’s emotional, social and economic functioning, treatment must also assist the patient in reclaiming healthy ways of functioning in interpersonal and work relationships without the mediating influence of alcohol or drugs. To this end, we believe that Addiction affects the whole family, so to get a brilliant outcome, we all need to work like a team. Family need to involve throughout the whole process of change.
