For Many, Stress Leads to the Use and Abuse of Drugs, Alcohol and Tobacco...

Some of the Basic Facts
Stressful events can have a direct affect on the use of alcohol or other drugs. Stress is a major contributor to the initiation and continuation of drug addiction and alcohol abuse, as well as to relapse or a return to drug use after periods of abstinence.

Stress is one of the major factors known to cause relapse to smoking, even after prolonged periods of abstinence.

Children exposed to severe stress may be more vulnerable to drug use. A number of clinical and epidemiological studies show a strong association between psychosocial stressors early in life (e.g., parental loss, child abuse) and an increased risk for depression, anxiety, impulsive behavior, and substance abuse in adulthood.

Treatment Philosophy
Our program philsophy at Starlite Recovery Center is based on the understanding that the disease of addiction affects the entire person: encompassing the body, mind and spirit. Therefore, treatment must address each of these areas to be successful in the recovery of the whole person.

The family program is typically scheduled between the 2nd and 3rd week of the stay, and consists of a 3 day weekend (Fri, Sat and Sun). Friday is an education day for family members only (disease concepts, etc.) Saturday and Sunday programming consists of more interactive work between the client and family members (communication exercises, discussions about co-dependency, etc.)
