The Life Process Program™ taught at St. Gregory Retreat Centers is unlike traditional drug or alcohol rehabs in its premise. Rather than considering the theory that an individual is powerless to change his or her behavior, that is exactly what we are here to help them do! We have found that if given the tools to confront the issues underlying the addictive behavior, our guests are not only able, but excited to change their lives. Through education, motivational interviewing, and life skills training, the Life Process Program offered at St. Gregory’s is a proactive approach designed to instill in our guests the tools necessary to move through their addictive behaviors and on to a life of purpose and positive rewards. The St. Gregory Life Process Program incorporates the three most crucial aspects of addiction recovery. First, the environment is safe, positive, and comfortable. This is an exciting place to be. This is not a place to come and dwell on the past or focus on how bad life can be. This is a place to come and learn how to take back control of your life! It is a place of hope! Our facilities are designed to incorporate that feeling. During your stay, you will truly feel at home and will be treated as a guest rather than a patient. Second, the emotional issues surrounding drug and alcohol abuse are addressed utilizing the skills taught here. Graduates of our program take with them a new set of tools and skills to confront their problems and make the choices necessary to live happy, successful lives without drugs or alcohol permanently. And thirdly, the St. Gregory Program addresses the physical aspects of addiction and alcoholism. Drug and alcohol abuse causes significant damage to an individuals’ body. Cravings, insomnia, lack of energy, depression, and anxiety are just a few of the symptoms related to continued substance abuse. To address this, our guests are put on a personalized neutraceutical program. This is a completely natural program utilizing nutrition, and specific supplements to aid the detoxifying of the liver and stimulate the proper functioning of the body according to each individuals needs. Upon completion of the St. Gregory Life Process Program, our guests are physically and emotionally stable and equipped with the tools to achieve a life of purpose and fulfillment.
