a new approach

I arrived at St. Gregory Retreat sunday night.

this is an 8 week program of cognitive-behavioral
therapy and behavior modification.

the program was designed by Dr. Stanton Peele,
whom I have been following for some time.

this is a non-disease model, and focuses on
behavior patters that cause substance abuse.

the theory is to identify triggers and the
negativity that causes relapse.
we are encouraged to address our faults,
but also to expand our strengths and
positive qualities.

here each person is viewed in their
entirety; and the approach is holistic.
it is the mind, body and spirit that
we take control of.
