Drug & Alcohol Recovery at WPRC:
Our mission is to help restore the lives of men and woman seeking
sobriety, reduce their chances for relapse, and
ease their transition
back into everyday life. We do this by helping them grow into recovery,
and into a changed
way of life, one day at a time...in a serene,
pastoral & spiritual setting...with support to allow this transformation to
occur.
We work closely with peers from the recovery
community, who have quality sobriety, and with residents,
to create a community and culture
of support and help. We believe the process works when a person
completes
a fearless and searching self examination and then applies the
principles of recovery to their daily living.
Once this is accomplished
we believe that person can best help themselves by helping another still suffering
fellow alcoholic/addict.
The value of 12-Step programs lie in the special relationships and support one gets when sharing his/her story with
another person
experiencing recovery. While talking about what is bothering you can be
practiced with a friend or
loved one, a family member, or a therapist,
the ability to identify and share on a feeling level with someone who is
experiencing the same pain and suffering is one of the joys of
recovery.
Recovery Goals at Webster Place
1. Abstinence:
Abstinence from alcohol and other mind altering drugs.
2. Peer Based Recovery Support:
The peer-based introduction and support of the 12 Steps and 12
Traditions recovery program as a solution to
substance abuse.Program Enhancements
We believe recovery can actually be fun, relieve stress, and help
restore mental and physical well being. Residents
find that our program
enhancements can be of great assistance throughout the stages of
recovery. Finding
enjoyable things to do can play a vital role in
regaining personal balance. Strategies for dealing with the hungry,
angry, lonely and tired triggers of relapse are part of our program.Our program enhancements include: music; exercise; reiki; acupuncture; gardening; culinary.... and much more. |
Help for families of those in recovery:
Webster Place "Healing
Strategies" Workshops are held on the first Sunday of every month
(from
9am to 12 noon.) These Family Healing Strategies Work Shops are authored and
facilitated
by Addictions consultant Diana Clark, JD.,MA.
Recognizing that family members
often live in a state of stress and anxiety, she provides participants
with
tools they need to become & remain healthy. She does this by addressing how to set healthy
boundaries,
talking about recognizing and reducing enabling behaviors. She also reviews acceptance and knowledge of the
disease to help family members promote change within themselves. Diana is a force of
clear speech, logic
and loving acceptance ~ moving families forward to engage in
behaviors which aid in the recovery process.
There is a reduced fee for WPRC families for this workshop but the workshop is open to the public. For more info
send an email to info@WebsterPlace.org to the attention of Meredith who schedules the workshops.
More helpful information for families can be found here.

"The chances are that you have already come to believe that happiness is unattainable.
but from the development of reason and the adjustment of conduct to principles. "
But many have attained it. And they have attained it by realizing that happiness does
not spring from the procuring of physical or mental pleasure,
-- Arnold Bennett Daily Affirmations from Webster Place
"Many of us felt that we had plenty of
character. There was a
tremendous urge to cease forever. Yet we found it impossible. This
is the baffling feature of alcoholism as we know it-this utter
inability to leave it alone, no matter how great the necessity or the
wish."
~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, More About Alcoholism, pg. 34~
