[quote=Anonymous]Our addict daughter went there after detox; after legal issues and relapsing and being in four other highly regarded residential treatment centers. None of them offered this: Long-term behavioral therapy (7 months, which as far as I can tell, totally 'rearranged' her neurology ie behavior, way of thinking, attitude on life, hope replacing fear); At some point she became wise enough to view the vocational program as an opportunity, and with resumes and interview advice, got a job which is now a career. The therapists are extremely tough but their decency is transparent. And then, what is addiction if not tough? We had, by choice, no contact with our daughter for the majority of time she was there. We trusted her team and most important, we were exhausted. Burnt out. With no where to turn and at the end of our resources. We let her go. Being tough herself she was able to recognize tough approaches when needed. She learned how to live clean and sober. I believe this happened fast, because of what she learned there. My suggestion to fear and doubt about Renaissance that can engulf you: Go to meetings. There is so much wisdom in the recovery community. Whatever it is we were doing on our own all those years wasn't working. Something has to change. Addiction breaks every rule of social decency. An effective response to addiction is not soft and fuzzy. It's challenging and tough. It involves the family. It involves not being alone, and finding others. Everyone must be willing to change. Reach out to people who have their lives back and are no longer living in dread and fear of a loved one's addiction. Keep going back. Renaissance is by far the best program we have experienced. By miles and miles. Our daughter has 3 years now, 3 solid years, thanks to Renaissance.[/quote]
