About Rockland Treatment Center
As a result of research we know that addiction and alcoholism are diseases that affect both brain and behavior. The definition of addiction has changed with scientific advances. Today addiction is defined by The National institute on Drug Abuse as a chronic, relapsing brain disease that is characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use, despite harmful consequences.
It is considered a brain disease because drugs change the brain, they change the structure and how the brain works. These changes can be long lasting and lead to the destructive behaviors seen in people who abuse drugs. Various techniques of addiction treatment have not been effectively combined together to make up a successful, innovative treatment center’s curriculum.
Our primary goal consists of reducing symptom severity for individuals who suffer from addiction and provide clients with the skills to live a life free of substance dependence. The premises of the program are that substance abusers are capable of change, behavior results from a conscious choice, and that thinking and skill development are integral for more effective ways to live one’s life.
Throughout the treatment process, clients will progress as they reach identified goals and objectives. A client’s individualized treatment plan (ITP) will serve to measure individual goals and objectives that are directly related to the substance abuse problem. The ITP will be formulated through input from the client, his/her psychologist, the clinical director, and information obtained during the initial assessment process. The integration of this data by the treatment team is critical for understanding the client and for effective treatment.

Our Philosophy
Our philosophy stems from the fact we know addiction is a disease that affects both brain and behavior. The definition of addiction has changed through research and scientific advances. Today addiction is defined by the National Institute on Drug Abuse as a chronic, relapsing brain disease that is characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use, despite harmful consequences. It is considered a brain disease because drugs change the brain: they change the structure and how the brain works.
These changes in the brain can be long lasting and lead to destructive behaviors seen in people who abuse drugs. Over the years many variations of treatment techniques and optimum lengths of stay have been implemented in attempts to change the often times antisocial behaviors associated with abusive drinking and or drugging. Few have worked. Relapse has always been an accepted as “the nature of the beast”. This no longer needs to be true. There is hope!
Rockland Treatment Center incorporates and combines several successful facets of substance abuse treatments, including comprehensive psychological evaluations to ensure an accurate and thorough diagnosis, cognitive-behavioral techniques, Neurofeedback interventions, group based therapy, individual therapy, interactive journaling, nutritional counseling and 12 step program based principles. The current treatment program for addiction is based on a combination of the aforementioned techniques, conducted in a state of the art treatment center.
The premises of the program are that substance abusers are capable of change, behavior results from conscious choice and that thinking and skill development are integral for more effective ways to live one’s life. Rockland Treatment is designed to treat both the substance abuse problem and the underlying issues that contribute to the problem as a whole. Call us, we can help.
