Executive Treatment Corporation is quietly becoming the premiere alcohol and drug treatment in the world. Our philosophy is grounded in one simple truth: there is more to staying sober than just making it through your first 30 days without drugs or alcohol. This traditional treatment model, employed the world over by programs from budget to luxe, doesn’t work. Statistics bear this out, and if you or someone you love has struggled with an addiction, chances are you know this too. Adapting to a life free from drugs and alcohol takes time. Other programs will get you in and out in a month. We commit to seeing you through your first year of sobriety.
At Executive, we are redefining “luxury” drug and alcohol treatment. For us, extravagant amenities are standard; the greatest luxury is time. Many posh alcohol and drug rehabs heavily promote the idea that the 30-day “cure” their programs provide justifies their high prices. They market “individualized” or “hand-tailored” treatment when in reality, their weekly schedules are full of group therapy. They boast gourmet meals and the finest resort-style amenities, which certainly take some of the sting out of detox and early sobriety. It’s easy to be mislead by their claims. We all want to believe that extravagant accommodations represent superior results, and in fairness, people do get better there. In the first several hours of merely abstaining from drug use—no matter where you are—mental health and clarity improve profoundly. And it’s fairly easy to stay sober in rehab with all of the staff support and a (usually) drug-free environment. Successfully navigating rehab, however, is just that. You learn to cope with sobriety within the artificially protective cocoon of a supportive, drug-free community. It is another task altogether to remain sober when you leave.
Unfortunately, lavish treatment facilities often mistake their clients’ abstinence from drugs and alcohol during an inpatient stay for effective treatment. In fact, one facility boasts an 84.4% success rate. When you define success as “completed 30 days of rehab,” those numbers don’t sound so good. What about life after you’ve been discharged? If you stay sober, they take the credit. Should you struggle after your stay, it’s your fault—you weren’t ready to quit.
We believe the entrenched, self-destructive behaviors that characterize drug and alcohol abuse are established over years. They can’t be magically erased after a few sessions with the staff psychologist and some chakra balancing or equine therapy. Sobriety begins with a decision to quit, and gains strength during the first few weeks without drugs and alcohol. However, the real work of sobriety occurs not in treatment, but when you return home to your life. For those with no significant responsibilities, residing in a sober home or halfway house for several months after discharge would be ideal. For those in the highest strata of business and entertainment, this is not realistic. If you run a publicly-traded corporation or have a multi-million dollar picture to shoot next week, how are you planning to stay sober?
We understand that early sobriety brings with it significant challenges. We know at times, all of our clients will struggle. Our one-year program accepts and anticipates this. It begins with two to four weeks of residential care that includes detox and 25 truly individual therapy sessions per week. When you go home--back to work, family, and friends--we go with you. The same treatment professionals who helped you in the beginning stay in contact with you regularly through the year, via telephone, video-conferencing, and face-to-face visits. We will work with you to tailor the program to your specific needs, whatever they may be. We want you to succeed.
Other programs can offer you support for a few weeks. We are accountable to you all year long. We have one goal—to support you through the first year of your sober life. Let the healing begin.
