Disclaimer:

The Circle of Care Consultants, Inc., wants you to understand that neither the accuracy of the information presented, nor its applicability to your particular situation can be guaranteed. Addiction is a life-threatening problem, whose causes are not fully known and whose cure is in no way certain. When entering into treatment, you should obtain professional evaluation of your individual situation by a duly licensed individual or program.

Accuracy of Information:

We cannot guarantee that we have entered information correctly from the materials provided to us by programs listed. In addition, programs change, and despite our efforts to keep up to date, some information may be out of date at the time you access it. Please verify specifics before you commit to a particular treatment program.

Applicability of Information:

Guidelines and ideas presented on these pages are intended to be helpful in locating appropriate help. They are not to be considered final or definitive because each individual situation is unique. Addiction treatment is a fine art, requiring an extensive knowledge base and a network of professionals working together to provide the best possible care and education for the client in need. There are many different approaches and philosophies available in the world of treatment modalities. The Circle of Care Consultants, Inc., considers the individual person and what approaches, techniques, environment and treatment philosophies, will be best suited for them in order to promote future sobriety. The ideas presented here are based on our own training and experience working with individuals and families involved in recovery and those who may be dealing with mental health issues. The Circle of Care Consultants, Inc., regards addiction as a "disease." We believe that those affected by addiction, however, are still ultimately responsible for their own recovery. We also recognize and stress the importance of developing a strong Continuum of Care for a client, as a continual reinforcement while learning to live a sober and healthier life.

Comprehensiveness of Information Provided:

The information we present is based on the belief that people can best choose for themselves with the guidance of a professional advocating for their best interests.
