1. Tamarack Recovery Centre Incorporated is a non-profit agency partly supported by a Service Purchase Agreement with Manitoba Healthy Living, Youth and Seniors, Addiction Division. 2. Philosophy of the treatment program: The Tamarack Recovery Centre Program is Abstinence based meaning recovery requires an addict to not use drugs / alcohol. It is also informed by the "Bio-Psycho-Social Model of what addiction and recovery from addiction, is all about; i.e. addiction and recovery from addiction are a physiological, cognitive / affective, and social process of developing pathology to the point of personal collapse, and then, with abstinence from substances plus some serious work in biological, psycho / emotional and social areas, the person will begin to rehabilitate. Tamarack s model also fits easily with the well known Minnesota Model of Addiction Treatment which adds the realm of the human spirit to the affliction and therefore to recovery. Tamarack s methodology works from these three philosophies. In this regard we are compatible with the various 12 step recovery fellowships such as AA, CA, NA and GA. and reflect this in our sending clients to four - 12 step group meetings a week one of which is held on site. We also utilize other helpful networks which support recovery emphasizing the importance of family system and other systems approaches. We believe that the most effective harm reduction strategy is abstinence. This means that while in our 60 day program, clients must remain abstinent. We realize however that some addicts can not maintain abstinence or feel comfortable in a 12 step recovery group. We endeavor to work with these and any clients in relapse through our Aftercare group and Follow-Up counselling. Our individual counselling is Rogerian Person Centered Therapy combined with elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as other methodologies as they may apply. Our facility is a functioning Therapeutic Community meaning that a consistent therapeutic message is communicated and received by all staff and clients alike. 3. Program objectives: Beyond the capabilities of the much shorter 21 or 28 day primary treatment programs that our clients have all experienced, our goal is to more thoroughly prepare alcoholics and drug addicts to live clean and sober in their various home, work and community environments. Relatedly, we seek to better inform clients by providing 45 different psycho-educational group workshops covering all of the life skill areas together with cognitive, emotional and behavior oriented rehabilitation exercises. In addition, through unstructured traditional group therapy, we seek to motivate, inspire and support clients in their processes of lifestyle change. Where trauma is part of a case history, we endeavor to provide a structured and safe relational environment using proven therapeutic methods in the hope that clients can begin to comprehend the damage done to them and the damage they have created. In this way we hope to facilitate their gaining skill in managing trauma related relapse potential. 4.
