Centre Description

Even small difficulties become
impossible transportation,identification, medical coverage, shelter, clothing, adequate nutrition, financial and legal issues, untreated medical conditions amongst a host of others.

Program objectives
Due to a devastating loss of self-esteem and confidence these alcoholics and addicts are unable to perform many tasks. At Path to Freedom we provide a structured environment which rebuilds self -esteem and confidence. By the time a client leaves here he has regained the life skills needed to succeed in the real world. This along with the A.A. program gives back a whole person to society. Instead of spending the rest of their lives being funded by one government program or another.


At Path to Freedom we offer a 90- day program in which clients are given a structured environment with restrictions designed to enhance their experience and encourage them to work on their recovery. As well , some household tasks are assigned to each to build self-discipline in their daily lives.


Clients are required to attend daily Alcoholics Anonymous meetings to build a support system that they will be able to make use of when they re-enter the community. The prevalence of alcohol and drugs in our community means that those in recovery are in danger of exposure , we diligently maintain an
environment that is drug and alcohol free. Our policy is ZERO TOLERANCE. All medications are screened and dispensed by the staff . In-house random Alcohol and Drug tests are used to maintain this
policy.

Prolonged mental and physical impairment due to acute addiction/alcoholism markedly restricts the ability to perform basic activities of daily living.Most are unable to perceive, think, remember or manage personal affairs.We believe it is necessary for the recovering alcoholic/ addict to undergo a profound alteration of their perception of life and to acquire spiritual values,while respecting personal religious, cultural, and moral values.
