Adult Addiction Services
Relapse Track

RIDGEVIEW'S  Adult Addiction SERVICES offers a well-integrated continuum of care for individuals with addictive or dual diagnosis disorders.  Our program is based on the belief that addiction is a chronic, progressive, primary illness affecting the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of the individual and family.

It has been our experience that adults with addictive disorders are seldom addicted to one substance or behavior.  Ridgeview's program combines five distinct levels of treatment, a broad spectrum of specialty groups and services, and the 12-Step programs of recovery.  This unique approach addresses addictive disease and its associated problems in a comprehensive, yet individualized manner.  The goal of treatment is to help patients learn how to cope with life free of addiction.

We believe that addiction is a primary drive that must be managed through education, cognitive restructuring, emotive therapies, and the experience of learning to live addiction free.  Each of these processes help the patient unearth the issues that drive their addiction, and learn how to halt the addictive response.  In doing so, they begin to recover from the shame that surrounds their illness, and learn how to relate to self and others in healthier ways.

The RELAPSE TRACK is a treatment track designed for patients who have been unable to maintain recovery despite previous treatment, the Relapse Track offers a different approach to self-discovery.  Patients take a deeper look at underlying causes; emotional problems, family-of-origin issues, anger, shame, and low self-esteem.
