Abstract
The Lighthouse for Recovery Ministries provides programs, service and auxiliary programs as a transitional resettlement resource for the Homeless, Substance/Alcohol Abuse, Domestic Violence, At Risk Children and Youth, Animal Advocacy, Veterans and Prison Reentry, both state and federal. Our sacred mission is to open the door for recovery, restoration and hope to the Returning Citizen and its family members which will empower, enrich and promote positive change. We are dedicated to the individualized treatment plan and use of group therapeutic resources for each of our clients as well as integrating family and support units into the client’s treatment plans and future goals. The success of our individualized treatment plans based on the client’s input and definitive needs that we pursue for our clients has been phenomenal. The integration of the family and support units into our client’s future goals and dreams is what sets us apart from social service agencies and other recovery and rehabilitation programs. In this workshop, we will provide addicts, families, social service personnel and therapeutic communities with education on the disease of addiction which is designed to raise awareness and understanding of the dynamics and impact of addiction on the people whom we serve. It will cover the neurological basis of addiction; mental, behavioral, emotional and spiritual dimensions; stages of change; recovery; motivational techniques and resources.
