EFFECTIVE & AFFORDABLE TREATMENT
Costa Rica Recovery uses a
Modified Minnesota Model of Treatment
We highly recommend patients stay as long as they possibly can. Studies conclude that those whose stay at least 90 days have a much better chance of long-term sobriety and freedom from addiction.
Early assumptions of this model are:
- Alcoholism and Addiction exists
- Alcoholism and Addiction is an illness
- Alcoholism and Addiction is a no-fault illness
- Alcoholism and Addiction is a multiphasic illness
- Alcoholism and Addiction is chronic, primary illness
- Initial motivation for treatment is unrelated to outcomes
- Education about alcoholism and addiction must begin in the community.
Model Characteristics:
- Integration of professional staff with trained recovering alcoholics/addicts
- Focus on disease concept and link to 12-Step philosophy
- Complete abstinence
- Family Involvement
- Patient and family education
- Education about alcoholism and addiction must begin in the community.
Core Values
- Clients will always be accepted unconditionally, without judgment.
- We are dedicated to treating all clients with dignity & respect.
