Why look for a new type of rehab?
Sorry I haven't blogged for a little while... been too busy!
I'd like to pick up on a few themes rather than continue to comment on the articles that are freely available on my website.
firstly let's talk about why somebody would need an alternative approach to rehab.
I would suggest the following reasons:
1. they've tried conventional rehab and found it did not meet their needs.
2. they already know of the limits of conventional rehab and wish to explore any viable alternative.
3. they are interested in the 12 step approach but have underlying and unknown blocks to exploring spirituality... the higher power issue.
I hope there are others out there who also offer alternative approaches that are based on formal spiritual training.
I hope the addiction world can change and move toward a more serious approach to meditation.
I hope that potential clients for these new services can also awaken themselves the need for a deep spiritual process, and can know that this is only possible when this is guided by an experienced spiritual guide... otherwise is simply the blind leading the blind!
Innercare Services International Inc. seeks to offer a deeply impactful residential retreat process, based on a combination of ancient and modern methods.... meditation and psychotherapy. Due to my unusual background and experience I'm able to offer retreats that combine these methods... this leads to speedy, deep, and profound changes.
Our clients are truly grateful as they have experienced for the first time a meeting with themselves and an energy that goes beyond themselves: many choose to call 'God'. This experience is so impactful that it restructures their consciousness, and their life goals. I've had the privilege of seeing many, many people attend or retreats and change their lives.... with a sustainable change, because they have the necessary skills required for daily self-care, and if necessary are willing to attend tune-up retreats.
Wishing you peace, and encouraging your to your own daily meditation practice.
Peace,
Brian

Addiction healing - an inward journey
I come from a monastic and retreat based background, having spent many years as a Monk. Throughout my time offering spiritual guidance, I was struck by how much more healing was achieved in this setting, as opposed to conventional rehab. I have responded by establishing a company a few years ago, which offers a new model combing the best aspects of the retreat world with Psychotherapy and addiction treatment - Innercare Services International Inc.
Silence is an essential aspect of formal retreats. Silence is profoundly healing as it allows the individual to face him or herself, without resorting to mood altering chemicals to cope. Clients are then much more at ease with themselves and attuned to their moment-by-moment process. As a consequence, far better choices made etc. This impacts all aspects of the person’s life, and this can then be reinforced through daily reflective meditation practice.
Throughout Innercare Services International Inc. retreats there is
an emphasis on the practical matter of imparting psychological and spiritual skills, that can sustain the person beyond the retreat, and can then be utilized for the rest of their lives. This gives both a sense of hope and self-mastery, as new skills are practiced and immediate results are experienced.
The inner journey of addiction/alcoholism recovery challenges each individual to daily self-awareness. However, many people struggling to achieve early recovery have never been given proper tools for the inner journey, and are consequently likely to lapse or re-lapse. Innercare Services International Inc. is committed to leading professionals with addictions issues, through a powerful retreat process that will place them firmly on the road of early recovery, providing them with sophisticated tools that can sustain them for a lifetime of abstinence and sobriety."
Thanks for reading,
Brian

Addiction & Alcoholism - 10 days to change your life!
“Welcome to innercare!
My name is Brian, I am the director and originator of our program.
The typical length of stay is 10 days... this is designed for professionals who can only take a certain amount of time out of their work life... they don’t have 28 days and they certainly don’t have 3 months! Nor is any of that necessary!
Our program is very intensive... we have 5,6, or 7 hours of psychotherapy / meditation per day. It is very impact-full it creates a very deep and abiding... lasting change that is not achievable by any other program that I know of! It has come thru my 25 + years as a director of many clinics/rehabs throughout the world... we now offer this alternative to rehab.
Once again I’d like to say that if you have any questions then email or call us.
Thank you!”

Why a retreat for addictions?
- SILENCE... clears the mind from negative or addictive thinking;
- MEDITATION... disciplines the individual to let go into a deep spiritual purification process that is both ancient and highly effective;
- ALONENESS... solitude fosters a deeper relationship with oneself and allows the client to face feelings that are usually distracted from or repressed... such as loneliness, fear, depression.
- PSYCHOTHERAPY... this is the idea space for psychotherapy as it allows for extended multiples daily schedules that have a cumulative effect.
