Our services are focused on the ever changing needs of our clients and are designed to succeed where traditional thinking has failed. Personal attention and individualized recovery programs ensure that each client receives the help they need when they need it.
ECRS was founded by Brian Halstead, CADC, CIP, in an effort to bring new and innovative services to people affected by the disease of addiction.
Chemical dependency is a primary disease process inclusive of all mood altering chemicals and as with any disease process, affects individuals with different levels of severity. For some the severity of their addiction will have a high cost for the addicted individual, their family and their friends. The ultimate cost is someone's life!
Co-Occurring disorders or extremely poor coping skills may have a negative impact on the addicted individual's ability to sustain the changes necessary for on-going recovery. These individuals need more help not more rejection!
Someone does not have hit "bottom to get help. If someone is in denial about their problem they are not capable of making a rational decision, they need help. Most of the recipients of our intervention techniques are grateful for the intervention and continue to work with us or others to maintain their recovery.
We can intervene on people before they are ready to ask for help. We can intervene on the relapse process. Chemically dependent individuals may relapse and it does not doom them to "having to hit bottom", they can get help quickly. Preventing and intervening on relapse is not accomplished by individual effort!.
Any family member, and the addicted individual, will do better with long term recovery if they are willing to gain insight into their own behaviors and how the family works as a system. The addicted individual is not the only person negatively impacted by addiction!
Helping an addict recover from addiction requires long term support for the addicted individual and those close to the addicted individual. Relapse can be intervened upon with the proper support and open communication. The more support an addicted individual utilizes in their recovery efforts the greater their chances for long term recovery.
The only guarantee with addiction is that left untreated or mistreated, problems will increase leading to painful demoralizing consequences such as jail, institutions, or death. We can all make a difference by addressing this serious problem by fully supporting early intervention and prevention techniques that are proven to help those afflicted with this life threatening disease!
We can reduce the relapse rates by accepting the importance of on-going support and accountability. Anyone {including family and friends } who utilizes a program for support in sustaining changes has a far greater chance of successfully maintaining changes in their life and within the family. The use of a professional Recovery Coach is just one more tool to increase the chances of a positive outcome!
