I advocate a Retreat format as an alternative to rehab... as in my 25 yrs in the addictions field and 14 yrs as a Monk/professional Spiritual adviser I have come to this conclusion. Unfortunately the word retreat is widely used for less serious activities.
Well retreats... formal spiritual retreats create an ideal environment for healing:- 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.
let me know you thoughts,
Peace,
Brian
