Restoring broken lives.
Treatment: Overview
Peniel offers a no-nonsense, comprehensive approach that is tailored to fit each individual client. Programming consists of 13 months of intensive inpatient treatment made up of an intake period and four distinct treatment phases, each lasting approximately three months. An aftercare component is the final stage of treatment lasting six months after the client completes the program.
Peniel maintains the position that its counselors are helpers at best. The goal is to help clients empower themselves to manage their lives more effectively after leaving treatment. Our counselors are trained to be cognizant of the fact that the client comes into the program with total dependence upon the counseling staff as professionals. The role of the counselor is to teach the client how to discover, appreciate, and respect God as the spiritual power source of life itself. To testify to that source and to decrease as the client learns how to become more dependent upon the source and less upon the counselors and even themselves. The counselor then assumes the role of teacher, mentor, and supervisor – one who oversees the progress of the client.
Peniel’s treatment model focuses on holding the individual accountable for his actions by encouraging him to recognize and deal with his emotional conflicts in order to facilitate effective self and relationship management. The Peniel treatment model is an effective system that allows our clients the opportunity to work one on one with highly trained counselors in conjunction with a daily routine that allows the clinical staff to monitor the clients, pinpoint detrimental behavior, and offer suggestions to empower him/her to maintain lifelong sobriety. Through constructive criticism, peer interaction, individual counseling, classes, chapel services, and effective training, clients are stimulated to change and live sober and healthy lives.
Orientation
The first step is a thorough intake process to collect important data that will determine the specific needs of each client and the approach that will ultimately work best for him/her. This initial orientation phase lasts approximately 30 days - since the client has stopped the use of drugs and is becoming acclimated to their new environment, this first month is a critical period of transition for the client.
Phase One
After the initial 30-day orientation period the client reaches Phase One. During Phase One clients are assigned a primary counselor and begin meeting with him/ her on a weekly basis.
Phase Two
In this phase the client continues identifying areas that are a hazard to his/ her sobriety and utilize practical methods by demonstrating the objectives he/ she is learning and receiving additional responsibilities.
Phase Three
During this phase, the client is expected to continue demonstrating what he/she is being taught by indicating positive behavior with integrity.
Phase Four
The main purpose of Phase Four is to teach the client valid and effective means of Relapse Prevention. Relapse Prevention gives the client the tools he/she will need to stay sober upon completing Peniel.
Aftercare
Perhaps the most vital phase, aftercare is a six month component mandatory for all clients upon completion of treatment. It is designed to ensure the client will retain all he/she has learned and aggressively accomplish their goal of sobriety once they complete inpatient treatment.
