Cottowood is a intensive treatment program focusing on drug and substance abuse, while young adults and adolescents, are the primary clients, they offer wonderful services for both groups. The program is a comprehensive program designed to help with chemical or substance addiction along with other addictions. Located in Tuscon, Arizona, this program has a extremly well put together health care model. While it is widely recognized program throughout the country, it is also recognized in England. The expense for the program is $1000 per day for a 30 or longer boarding program it is well worth the expense to families.
The program alsop covers nutrition, fitness, to spiritual needs, medical and even has a well supervised detox program. Included in the program are Recreational Therapy, which is my background. focused on rock climbing, and helping clients understand, risk taking as it applies to a healthy life-style, as it applies to the recovery process. Using both a 12 step model toward recovery, it explores different types of support needed, including family therapy and intervention for pa rents.
The sucess rate of the program is much higher than most traditional programs, simply beccause it is longer, it has a well developed educational component, supervised by a clinically trained medical staff and physican, which consistently evaluatest the patient's progress. This includes: other therapy services: art therapy, equiine therapy, among many other services to help adolescents, and young adults prevent relapse.
Having had privellege of meeting two other conultants who were equally impressed by the program flying from Pennsylvania and Chicago to see the program was equally very helpful in speaking with them. Clearly it was worth the trip. The staff is extremely friendly offering help and advise for consultants. It is nestled in Tuscon and is a well kept secret. Many parents who have children with long term substance abuse could benefit from the program, certainly can benefit from this program. However, it is not cheap!
The cost is well worth the treatment and the services. There are a large number of girls on the campus, when I visited but the program is offered for boys, with restriction to interacting on campus. The program also has a hoticulture program which is very nuturing for the students in this Senora desert enviroments. Would you hire an educational consultant to work with your family, or adolescent, having a substance abuse problem? What things do you like about Cottwoood de Tuscon after reading our blog?
