Why Use Weyland as Your Alcohol and Drug Treatment Provider
Our Mission Statement captures it all.
WEYLAND MISSION STATEMENT
It is also our goal to help you understand and deal with the problematic behaviors, beliefs, feelings and long-term consequences of substance use. To this end, we bring an array of tried and true clinical skills to underscore your recovery from substance abuse. It is our primary goal to always be accessible and prepared to offer the highest standard of care possible.PHILOSOPHY
While we know that addiction negatively impacts the very fabric of our society. We also know that addiction is a treatable problem from which people are recovering daily. When you seek counseling from us, one of the greatest gifts we have to offer is our core belief in your ability to get better.
This Mission Statement does really capture not only how we think about treating substance use disorders, it more importantly lends clarity to how we think about and value our clientele. It is our belief that people who suffer with substance use problems can be helped while treated with dignity and respect as all human beings deserve no matter the situation they have gotten themselves into. Addiction is one of the only fields in the healing arts that appear to typically treat its clients as though they are guilty until proven innocent!
Well here is a specific area in which we differ greatly. We see the lies that are told by addicts and other such behaviors as just a part of the illness and not a personal assault, as seems to be the response of many providers who work with this population. Why is this important, well in large part because it allows our clients to feel safe enough to open up with us thereby increasing the needed engagement that will support and incite the change required to bring about the emotional and psychological environment in which recovery will flourish.
Just as addiction is seen by us as a relational issue so too is recovery. The relationship between provider and client is the core element of all success and failure in the treatment of addiction. It is for this reason that we use the concept of engagement in understanding the needs and underpinnings of recovery.
We believe that engagement is commensurate to change as love is to sustaining a good relationship. Without love no relationship will ever truly be satisfying nor will it have the foundation to go the distance. Well, this is also true of recovery. Without a foundation of engagement and connection, the treatment process will eventually falter, and most likely end if there is no connection that binds it and incites both the client and provider to show up on a daily basis to try again and again until such time as they finally succeed.
So with all our hearts and a firm belief in there always being a chance for redemption we offer all of our client’s unconditional regard as it relates to their ability to bring about change in their lives. We sincerely believe that our belief in our clients as well as our ability and desire to have a real foundation of engagement make our potential for success all the more viable.
It is with this belief at the heart of all that we do that the installation of hope comes into fruition. Lending itself to helping our clients to risk to begin to believe in themselves again, probably for the first time in years. Without this fledgling belief they will not stay the course that might allow them to achieve recovery someday. So you see, it is no small thing and is equally necessary to the process of change as is engagement.
Give us a chance and we will treat you in the manner you deserve, for the simple act of trying to get sober, for we have not lost sight of what the act of trying means and how courageous it is to take the first step. After you take that step we will take it from there by acknowledging that your thought and ideas about your situation should be listened to.
We will not act as though we know more about you than you. In fact we will attempt to create an environment in which we learn from you even as we attempt with you to find a path to recovery that is unique to your specific needs. We will not create or take a one size fits all approach with you or your family. We will remember that your story is yours and not someone that came before you.
Ours will be an approach that assures one thing which is that we are working with you rather than an idea of you fostered by an industry wide standard approach for treating addiction. When you come to Weyland we welcome you to a treatment plan built around you and your specific needs which by definition increases our chance of success.
We look forward to meeting you and learning all that you will teach us as you seek to create your pathway to recovery and a better life.Author:
