It is the belief of ABC that successful treatment comes through Awareness, Balance and Connection to your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual needs. Treatment is not easily described in general statements. The process varies depending on the needs of the client and stage of change the client is in. Treatment is unique in that it requires a very active effort on your part. In order to be most successful, you will have to work both during your time at the Centre and at home.
During your initial session the therapist will gather a thorough history of your life situation. You will be asked to discuss issues such as your family history, marital and relationship history, your history of past and current medical and mental issues, legal history, compulsive behaviors, and other issues that may be pertinent to your care.
Your therapist will assist you in establishing clear goals for counseling. We believe that having a clear plan and direction in mind will allow for your time spent to be productive and to resolve treatment issues.
These goals are for you and require your participation. We are simply helping you to achieve the goals that you have developed for yourself.
