Is Dawn Farm against addicts using medications?
Detox requires that clients come to Detox with their medications and continue taking them while in detox. This includes medications for treating conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, seizure disorders and mental illness.
Why does Dawn Farm require that clients attend specific 12 step meetings?
We attribute our success with clients to our ability to connect them with the recovering community. Research is finally confirming what we've known for 30 years. That 12 step involvement is a great predictor how well people will do after treatment and that 12 step involvement is more important than 12 step attendance in predicting how well people do in their recovery from addiction.
What should I bring to residential treatment?
Bring all current medications, picture I.D. and your social security card. You can bring one carton of cigarettes and $44.00 cash.
