Recovery is a life-long journey that begins with acceptance of a problem and the decision to change. Recovery is not easy and requires more than just the absence of drugs and alcohol. And that's where we come in. Our program is built around the concept that addiction is a disease. It is progressive, chronic, and fatal, but it is treatable when we address recovery of the mind, body, & spirit. Our adherence to the spiritual principles of the 12-step method of recovery coupled with a no-nonsense, tough-love approach gives our residents the tools they need to forge a new mindset and way of life where they can effectively manage themselves after treatment.
At Forge, we require adherence to a strict daily schedule and hold the men accountable for their actions by encouraging them to recognize and address emotional conflicts to promote effective communication with God, themselves, and others. As our residents progress through the four phases of the program, they are granted more responsibility so they ultimately learn how to respond in healthy ways to pressure and make decisions based upon the spiritual principles contained in the 12 steps.
