Philosophy

At The Orchid Recovery Center, we believe in meeting the singular needs of women facing addiction. In an atmosphere of compassion, community and creative spirit, we provide solutions tailored to the bodily, emotional and spiritual aspects of addiction women face. In stark contrast to the isolation of addiction, The Orchid Recovery Center immerses women in a supportive community environment in which they can heal every aspect of being.

The Orchid Difference in Addiction Treatment

From the moment you set foot on our scenic grounds, The Orchid’s unique approach to addiction treatment becomes apparent. While our progressive philosophy focuses on treatment solely for female patients, the heart of our approach centers around a strong, healing kinship that womanhood provides. While many addiction treatment centers make no distinction between genders, The Orchid Recovery Center acknowledges the aspects of addiction that are unique to the women we serve. For many of our participants, the psychological and emotional factors that led to addiction – and the effective roads to healing – are deeply integrated into their identities as women.

Healing the Whole Woman at The Orchid

At The Orchid, our foremost goal is to provide hope and healing to women who have struggled with drug or alcohol addiction – and to empower those in recovery to extend these successes to their families at home. In a rich, dedicated environment, women focus on physical strength through exercise and nutritional emphasis, work with clinical therapists and addiction experts in healing emotional wounds and trauma, and connect with both themselves and those around them to build spiritual awareness and fortitude. With an emphasis on trust building, communication and expression, self-esteem, nutritional care and professional counseling, we seek to treat not only the addiction but its contributing causes.

Our Exclusive Addiction Treatment Approach

Based on Dr. Karen Dodge’s breakthrough addiction treatment paradigm, aptly dubbed “relational growth,” our treatment center around a philosophy of interaction, exchange and community. By sharing with peers also in recovery, experiences and accompanying emotions, thoughts and beliefs transform from limiting factors into forces of healing. Women at The Orchid receive expert guidance from professionals trained in addiction recovery, while receiving the double blessing of opportunities to foster healing in those around them, as well. With holistic and alternative treatments such as yoga, roleplaying and art therapies, The Orchid provides a comprehensive approach to addiction recovery, addressing needs that embrace both the temporal and deeper components with more enduring natures.  Traditional approaches to drug and alcohol addiction treatment – such as 12-step modalities, group therapy and detoxification – are also incorporated into The Orchid’s multi-faceted, affirming approach.
