Stillwater Counseling Center
An Alternative Addiction Service
We are dedicated to those in need of addiction services. We have added a counseling division for those who want to recover their "true selves". You may ask, "What's the difference between what we do at Stillwater and other programs?" There is little difference, but it is significant! Here at Stillwater we have both individual and group counseling (like the others) but, they are combined with sitting meditation. Most programs "suggest" partaking in good wholesome acts, such as yoga, tai chi or meditation, but do not offer the instruction or the "means" to do such beneficial acts. This is why we are here. (Even the 12-step program suggests in step 11 to meditate. We don't suggest it, we do it!)
At
Stillwater we look at and assess each and every individual as the unique
person they are. Some may need more individual counseling, some may need
more group counseling. You're not just thrown into the system like everyone
else. Most programs take on "too many" clients (which people
in most programs are called, clients) and they become lost in the shuffle.
At Stillwater, you are not called a client you are called a Student. A
Student that is trying to learn how to live life in a more wholesome way!
Most
other programs try to fit a lifetime of information into eight hours a
day for a three week period. They have taken a confused and stressed out
mind and just added more stress and confusion. It is impossible for the
person detoxing from drugs and alcohol to focus for one hour and a half
meetings one after another for an eight hour period one day after another
for three weeks. With nine out of 10 people relapsing to use drugs and
alcohol, it shows that this approach is not working.
Our approach at Stillwater is a minimum of three months, with individual counseling, groups and sitting meditation, combined with either Yoga , Tai Chi or Martial Arts. This is a most Beneficial Self Discipline Program for both Body and Mind. Over a period of time, behaviors will slowly change in the person recovering. This will give them a foundation to build upon. Our three-month program is the same price (if not less) than the two to three week programs I spoke of previously.
