Programs

"We offer group-based intensive treatment programs in a safe, supportive environment designed to help clients change their attitude and behaviors to enrich their lifestyle"

Family Wellness’ interdisciplinary treatment team provides all core treatment components. These components are the basis for all of Family Wellness Center’s Recovery Programs.

In addition, each Recovery Program stream — Substance Addiction, other addictions, and Codependency Disorders — has additional components that are detailed in the sections that follow.

Programs are further customized to suit the individual client, his or her family members and, if applicable, the employer. If treatment by a medical specialist is required, Family Wellness Center has an extensive network in place for supplemental assessment and treatment.

Core Treatment Components

The following are the core treatment components in all of Family Wellness' Recovery Programs
The Family Wellness model is different than most. Our Consultant Doctors are fully in-touch with our team and play an extensive role in treatment planning and case management. Our Medical Consultants (Doctors) cover a range of specialties including withdrawal management, relapse prevention and psychiatry.
Drama therapy, Gestalt (Awareness) therapy, Rational Emotive therapy, Motivational therapy, Cognitive therapy, Interpersonal therapy, Spirituality groups, Relapse Prevention groups, Honesty groups and Men’s – Women’s groups.
Goal oriented therapy to address a wide range of problems.
Lectures and discussions regarding the process of addiction, alcohol, prescription and street drugs, sexuality, boundary issues, grieving, awareness (feelings), relationships, Twelve Step Principle, transactional analysis and other related topics as appropriate.
Family Wellness has always recognized the important role that spirituality plays in healthy day to day living. We view spirituality as integral to good physical, mental, emotional and social health and therefore key to successful recovery. Within in this context we address values, identity, relationships, guilt, anger, shame, grief, self-esteem, responsibility, and building trust. We recently incorporated Father Leo Booth’s ” Say Yes to Life ” study series into our own program. This enhances our own spiritual philosophy. Both Family Wellness and Father Leo believe that you do not have to be religious to be spiritual. Our emphasis is to enable our clients to connect with spiritual values so that they can experience positive and creative living and make responsible choices for a quality of life for themselves.
Stress assessment, stress reduction techniques, relaxation training for tension, anxiety, individualized stress management, meditation, leisure workshops and recreational activities are all part of our program.
Assertiveness training, refusal techniques, effective listening, anger management, problem solving, identification of feelings and positives self-talk are all addressed in these workshops.
Clients are taught to identify and deal with their own relapse issues and triggers.
Clients identify their treatment goals including why it is important to develop a healthier lifestyle and make appropriate behavioral changes.
Each client keeps a journal that helps to clarify thoughts and feelings and chart their progress.
During their stay at Family Wellness, clients are required to attend 12 Step groups and learn to apply principles of these programs.

Our Programs

Substance Abuse Recovery

The Family Wellness Center Programs are structured programs for Dependents and Codependent families. The Programs are characterized as holistic and stresses the importance of each family member's role in creating functional families.

Gambling Treatment Services

Studies show that about one-third of people with chemical dependencies are cross-addicted to gambling. Since issues related to the treatment of a gambling problem parallel those of a chemical dependency the recovery strategies are similar - helping clients identify the ways they gamble, why they gamble, their gambling triggers, and the consequences of their gambling.

Continuing Care and Aftercare

This 90-day program is developed for each client before leaving the Intensive Outpatient Program although it is optional. These plans might include ongoing counseling, participation in AA or NA meetings, transition groups, alumni contacts, and other Twelve Step support groups, or taking additional steps to advance education or career. Clients are also encouraged to participate in services available at the Center, which includes ongoing contact with clinical staff, lectures, workshops, reading materials and participation in the Family Program.

An increasing number of Philippine companies are developing comprehensive alcohol and drug policies. This trend is driven by consideration for the safety of employees and the public, as well as legal liabilities and responsibilities.
