Harmony's approach views addiction - whether to alcohol or another drug - as a medical disease. As this disease progresses, it has dramatic, often devastating consequences that impact important life areas - health, jobs, finances, relationships, and value systems. Our treatment program is specifically designed to treat the physical, emotional, spiritual and psychosocial aspects of this disease - a comprehensive approach to recovery. We believe that with guided help and through a process of on-going change, our students can transform themselves into the responsible, stable, productive, and capable individuals they know themselves to be. Chief among the goals of our 28-day residential treatment program, Harmony Foundation seeks to:

• Stabilize the student physically and to begin the process of restoring some balance back into their lifestyle.
• Break through the denial system surrounding the chemical dependency.
• Foster a comprehensive understanding about the nature of addiction through educational and experiential presentations, leading to acceptance of the disease.
• Encourage students to accept the 12-Step philosophy embodied in AA/NA/CA as a vital and necessary component of their continuing recovery.
• Give students the tools they'll need to take active responsibility for their recovery.
• Instill in our students that abstinence from mood/mind-altering chemicals is the most responsible path to recovery.
• Help students explore, identify, and share on a feeling level issues that are difficult and uncomfortable to discuss.
• Improve self-image through personal awareness and group support.
• Facilitate the development of healthier, more fulfilling interpersonal relationships.
• Collaborate with students and concerned others to create a structured aftercare plan that will sustain gains made in treatment.
• Continue monitoring progress in the early stages of recovery.

In working with EAP's and other referral sources, we will coordinate the student's care every step of the way - from the preadmission screening process through to discharge planning and Aftercare services. Our aim is to provide for a seamless transition of care for our students as they return to their lives in their own communities. Click here to learn more about our Philosophy.
