12 Step Program – The 12 Step Program is the ONLY known and proven program that when strictly adhered to and properly worked achieves sobriety and the peace of mind our clients so desperately desire.

Spirituality – A belief in a higher power is the chief cornerstone of a strong moral and uprightness of conduct and character essentially necessary in achieving a fruitful life.

Friends and Family – Friends and family are so essentially vital in holding up our sobriety and recovery. We can lean on and enjoy our friends and family. Friends and family also shelter us from the prevailing winds and disasters of life! Friends and family are a key component of the recovery process and our encouraged to attend in many processes of the clients individualized program.

Financial and Budget Sanity and Job Quest- Our clients come from all walks of life and various circumstances. Mismanagement of finance and budgeting leads to direct and un-necessary manufactured stress and hardship. We teach our clients how to be content, satisfied, and happy with the basic necessities of life: food, shelter and clothing. Everything else is just a bonus. These “bonuses” often distract us from what really is most important in our lives, building relationships with the ones we love, helping others, and being an example of goodness and uprightness of conduct. We empress upon our clients that if we ask, diligently seek with hard work and determination and knocking upon this door our higher power will provide all that is necessary to live a life of love and happiness.

Goal and Priority Setting – Setting and achieving goals is one of life’s greatest adventures and thrills. If done correctly, goal setting and priority setting enables us as individuals to grow and become stronger every day. If done carelessly, unrealistically, and without proper priority, goal setting can deteriorate our souls and well being. We teach our clients how to set and maintain realistic goals and how to properly prioritize every day, a day at a time while striving and aiming high yet learning to circumscribe our passions and keep our desires within due bounds.

Nutrition/Fitness – The mind, body, and spirit is a triangle of our being. These three parts work together in a symbiotic mutual relationship. When proper care, attention and maintenance is given to all three parts; we are focused, happy, and centered individuals. On the inverse of this principle when we fail to eat healthy, exercise regularly, and get an adequate amount of sleep our minds and spirits quickly follow.

Social Skills – Deer Creek Recovery is a therapeutic community. Our therapeutic community makes the recovery process an enjoyable and fun experience. We rely on each others previous and current experiences, strengths and weaknesses, to better understand and manage our own lives and disease. It is through these experiences, strengths and weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that we are able to better edify one another and become exceedingly closer to our goals. The many group sessions our clients attend as well as the community itself will foster the social skills needed to integrate back into society and be a productive member of the society of which we live.

Discipline/Structured Living/Life Skills – Many of our clients come from a life of chaos and have experienced nothing but chaos while involved in our alcoholic/addictive behavior. It is thru discipline and structure we break these habits and restore order. Order enables us to experience inner peace and allows us to meditate and focus on our goals, tasks, and priorities. The moment clients our enter Deer Creek Recovery Center this process begins. We adhere to a strict yet flexible schedule to achieve this goal. Many of our clients have missed important life skills such as cleaning, doing laundry, organization, making beds, and a variety of other normal day – to day duties required to achieve bliss and permanent sobriety. Our clients will learn and enjoy all of these duties at Deer Creek Recovery Center.

We encourage our clients to always remember that our program is tailored to our client’s individual circumstances and needs. We understand that some of our clients have amazing strength in certain areas of our program focus and incredible weakness in other areas. Our counselors will be able to and help identify these strengths and weaknesses with our clients. Once identified, we are able to grow as individuals and help others around us.
