Practical Recovery Services (PRS) to any other U.S. addiction
treatment program. Can you find one that offers our combination of
treatment approach, individualization, flexibility, staff
qualifications, and range of services?

If our program is of interest to you, then
we suggest asking the following questions when evaluating other
addiction treatment programs:
- How
12-step and disease model oriented is your program?
- Do
you use the labels "addict" and
"alcoholic?"
- Do
you support abstinence, moderation, or harm reduction?
- Do
you require groups (either onsite, or offsite support groups)?
- How
many individual sessions can I have? (most other programs have
group sessions, not individual sessions, as their core
service)
- Do
I have the option of couples sessions, family sessions, and
groups?
- To
what extent do you individualize my treatment, to match my
goals and needs?
- To
what extent do you individualize my schedule? For instance,
could I take time away from the program to attend a wedding,
go to a meeting, just have a break, etc.?
- How
much access will I have to a phone, my cell phone, my laptop,
newspapers, and my own reading material?
- To
what extent does my schedule change as I make progress?
- What
are your "house rules?"
- What
is the treatment planning process, and how collaborative is
it?
- What
are the qualifications and experience of the individual
therapists I will be working with?
- How
much continuity of therapists will I have? How many different
therapists can I have? Can I work more with one therapist than
another if I come to prefer one?
- What
specialized intensive psychotherapy services do you offer,
such as EMDR, neurofeedback, hypnotherapy or TFT?
- Do
you also offer executive and business coaching and
consultation?
- How
does your aftercare program work?
- Do
I have the option of completely private treatment?
- Can
I do long distance counseling, by itself, or to get to know
you better before arriving, or as aftercare?
- How
will you prepare me for dealing with slips or relapses?
- Will
you try to "break" me?
- To
what extent do you try to change my spiritual beliefs, deepest
values, goals and needs?
- What
addictive behaviors do you treat?
- What
related problems do you treat?
- How
coordinated is the treatment of addiction and related
problems?
- To
what extent do you work with my whole person, not just my
addiction?
- To
what extent do you involve outside providers, if there is a
service I need but you don't provide?
PRS
was established in 1985. We believe that there is no finer addiction
treatment program anywhere. We work with the whole person, with
special emphasis on the underlying issues that lead to addiction.
