TREATMENT: Maryville believes strongly that abstinence is essential for long time recovery from substance use disorders. Since our founding in 1949, we have advocated to all our clients that the risk of experimentation with drugs and alcohol for those with substance use disorders is too dangerous to take. We have seen many people return to substance use only to pay a very high price, sometimes the ultimate price, for any experimentation or reuse of alcohol or drugs.
Our lectures and group counseling focus on several critical aspects that lead to long term recovery:

We cannot advocate strongly enough that we recommend involvement with 12 Step programs, such as AA, NA, etc. We believe these 12 Step programs work best for most.

While advocating 12 Step Involvement, we also know that not all clients will accept this philosophy. We will work with each individual to develop a plan that will lead to lasting sobriety.

GROUP THERAPY is the primary modality of treatment used at Maryville. Group therapy is further reinforced with didactic lectures, educational curricula, and discussion and reading groups that focus on the three-fold nature of the disease: medical, emotional and spiritual. The Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings at Maryville expose the resident to a primary recovery aid, which will be essential to continued sobriety following residential treatment. Work therapy, in the form of housekeeping and maintenance chores, is assigned to each patient. The objective of work therapy is to provide the patient with a successful experience in community living, enhance their daily living skills and further reinforce the individual's positive self-image and sense of responsibility.

STAFFING PATTERNS: Our multi-disciplinary treatment team, consisting of an ASAM Certified Medical Director, registered nursing staff, Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselors, Certified Social Workers, Admissions Coordinator and administrators, meets daily to review new patients, discharges, any problem behavior and each patient at their one week and 2 week points. Treatment strategies and continued care plans are discussed. This meeting helps provide consistency for patients and allows each patient to benefit from the insights of the whole team.
