Drug and alcohol rehabilitation services are offered through St. Charles Campus’s Chemical Dependency Rehabilitation program. The program is for adults age 18 and over, is voluntary, and is designed to promote recovery. Our program utilizes various approaches to achieve recovery goals including cognitive restructuring, relapse prevention training, affect regulation, wellness concepts, and 12-step principles. Depending on the individual treatment plan, care may address biomedical conditions, emotional and behavioral health syndromes, co-existing psychiatric disorders, and family, work, and community concerns. The ultimate goal of treatment is to minimize the possibility of relapse and maximize each patient’s ability to live without the use of addictive substances.
