Stage 3: Into Action
Continued Treatment
During Stage 2, the second six weeks of stay, you will
have begun to appreciate that recovery is within your
grasp - trust in yourself and others has been nurtured
and an appropriate perspective of your own reality will
have dawned.
Your self-esteem strengthens as sound boundaries and
an acceptable value system begin to emerge.
The objective of Stage 3 is to build on these foundations.
|
Therapy continues along the same format as in Stage 2, but
with increasing emphasis on reality - that of the past and the
here and now and how these can be translated into a meaningful
and socially acceptable future.
The principal at the core of this is your personal responsibility
for your own recovery through self-acceptance.
Relapse prevention
Relapse prevention is emphasised and there are regular one-to-one
sessions in which our specialist counsellor targets your early
introjections, the baggage carried into addiction.
Whilst it is not possible to take psychotherapy to its full
term in the time allowed by the programme, the PCP Method initiates
this process to enable identification of areas of personality
dysfunction that require on-going attention by you.
This aspect of our work is interfaced with the Twelve Step
disease concept and you will be shown how these work in tandem.
The thrust of the programme up to this point has been trust
in the self and others, reality, responsibility and acceptance
through self-examination with the means to bring these into
being.
Their application in practice forms an integral part of this
stage of treatment. The first instance of this is in-house:
at this stage you will work with new arrivals as a preliminary
to the buddy system described at Stage One.
To facilitate progress, PCP has forged links with:
• Government agencies
• Other voluntary agencies and local drug and alcohol
services
• Colleges for further education
• Local Businesses
• Job Centres
You will be encouraged to use these contacts for an immediate
or eventual return to the workplace in a planned way, specific
to their needs and capabilities.
During this time, attendance at evening and weekend Twelve
Step fellowship meetings continues and an in-house workshop
on Steps Six to Twelve is built into the programme structure.
At the end of Stage Three you will be awarded a formal graduation
medallion to commemorate successful completion of the full-time
programme.
Before leaving this Stage, the Project investigates whether
provision has been made for adequate housing conducive to on-going
recovery. If appropriate or necessary, we will make arrangements
on your behalf through our contacts with various local authorities,
halfway houses and housing associations to ensure the return
to a healthy environment wherever possible.
After this Stage, you then progress onto Stage
4 - Aftercare.
