Our trusted and tested therapy programs emphasize building on your strengths rather than overcoming your weaknesses. The well-known and applied “strengths-based” therapy program that we offer was developed from a social work solution which engages positivity and your determination. Strengths-based work with us will help you avoid focusing on your past and negativity from previous failings that may be causing distress and a disposition toward drugs.
As a well-known motivational speaker said: “Your imagination is ten times more potent than your willpower. Unleashed, it provides a sense of certainty and tenacious vision that goes far beyond any limitation of the past” and “your past does not determine your future- and your future is bright.”

- Encouraging growth, learning and change that you can sustain

- Viewing your community as a resource not an obstacle

More on Strengths-Based Training from a World Renowned Expert
Bernadette Glass, internationally-recognized strengths-based intellect states:
“The strengths-based approach is an approach to people that views situations realistically and looks for opportunities to complement and support existing strengths and capacities as opposed to focusing on and staying with the problem or concern. The problem and the person are separate; however, the problem is never minimized.”
Experts stress the following components that will lead to recovery when strengths-based practices are used on those in need of recovery:
- Acknowledging that people experience difficulties and challenges that need attention and support
- Describing learning and development respectfully and honestly to build on one’s abilities and not past fixations
- Identifying what is taking place when learning and development are going well, so that it may be reproduced or further developed
- Avoiding the accommodation of negative behaviors such as avoiding the truth, thinking in a one-sided manner and devaluation of one’s self
