Staffing Additions to Drug and Alcohol Rehab
November 25th, 2008 | by Carey Richardson |YORK, PA, November 13, 2008 - With the addition of an Activities Therapist at Clarity Way, Inc., clients will receive more individual treatment sessions per week in a new modality. Clients will meet twice per week with the Activities Therapist and explore a completely different area of their recovery.
Helping clients learn how to spend their free time after treatment is essential to preventing a relapse. The Activities Therapist will help clients discover new ways of enjoying their free time. This will prevent them from diverting back to using substances and/or alcohol. This new benefit allows for a much more comprehensive treatment by finding new activities for the client to enjoy in their daily life.
“This addition to our staff is the first of many, as we’re constantly looking for ways to strengthen our treatment programs,” Facility Director, Robin Daniels. “With the addition of these new treatment modalities, we are pioneering the field of addiction treatment and giving clients the tools that they need to succeed in their sobriety.”
Some examples of activities that clients will participate in throughout their sessions with the Activities Therapist are: kayaking, biking, hiking, games (checkers, chess, board games, puzzles, etc.), basketball, football, swimming, etc. Clients will be exposed to an array of activity choices and the Activities Therapist will help the clients re-discover how to have fun while living a sober life.
