At Genesis Programs, Inc. we do not believe that relapse or what we like to call re-introductions means failure. Instead, we look at factors that may have caused the reintroduction. To avoid re-introductions, all participants receive a collaborative initial treatment plan within the first week of admission to our facility. Treatment goals and objectives are identified, and individual plans of care are created to encompass all treatment services needed. We also encourage proper aftercare to extend the integrity of our treatment. In collaboration with the participants, we arrange for a smooth transition into our long-term aftercare program.

You don’t have to hit rock bottom with substance abuse before getting help. In other words, you might never feel ready for treatment. But here you are, and you’ve already taken the most important step by looking into treatment options. If this isn’t the first time you’ve thought about trying to get sober or if a loved one is telling you they’re concerned about your alcohol or drug use, give us a call and we can help you determine whether treatment makes sense. Another way to think about your situation: Consider the potential consequences of not going to treatment, the greater risk of having an accident–the increased strain on your most important relationships, the possible loss of your career or livelihood. And if you’re using an opioid drug (Heroin, Painkillers), your risk for severe consequences–including overdose—increases the longer you continue to use. Life can be so much more than this for you.
