We love the relationship we have with our Alumni. It is an honor and joy to celebrate in their successes and to stand by them in hardships. Here is some of what they have recently shared.

Santé’s Transitional Living (TL) program provides a highly-structured, therapeutic apartment-style living for adult men and women, who are in search of additional daily living support while in the early stages of recovery. Several research studies by NIDA (National Institute on Drug Abuse) find that the longer an individual is involved in a continuum of care and receiving treatment, they have significantly better outcomes including decrease in relapse rates. As with the national trend, this program has also seen a rise in adult children who were previously living at home. Santé’s TL residents receive the environmental, therapeutic and social support needed to meet goals and succeed.

A recent Public Health Institute study showed that individuals in TL-type programs recorded lower incidences of drug use, arrests and harmful psychiatric symptoms, 18 months after leaving treatment. Results also showed that residents who stayed longer in this level of care were less likely to relapse as compared to those who did not stay long. As individuals continue to deepen their recovery, at this level of care, staff and residents alike identify and address missing life skills, including but not limited to: financial planning, budgeting, meal planning, educational guidance, career development and life skills education. Employment, community service, 12 step work, and higher education and continuing education are important components for the Transitional Living Program.

In addition to a safe, chemical-free environment, TL residents experience: separate men’s and women’s programs; master’s level therapist on site Monday - Saturday; daily group therapy and house meetings; random drug screens; 12-Step Recovery model; individual and group counseling; employment and volunteer opportunities; and more.

“As a treatment team, we’re honored to help people new in recovery use Santé’s Transitional Living as the foundation for the relationships, connections and decision making essential for sustained, long term recovery,” says Santé's Director of Clinical Services, Adam Karazuba, MSW, LCSW.

Santé is a dual diagnosis treatment center because we know that treating a person's substance use disorder at the same time as their mental health condition(s) will give them a higher success rate for long-term recovery. For more information call 940.464.7222.

Many of us have come to believe that being successful means being strong, independent individuals who are profoundly self-reliant. This type of thinking can lead to shame or guilt when we need to ask for help or to admit to shortcomings. An unintended consequence of this can be a barrier to self-growth. How can we overcome this barrier? Humility.

If we can use the same inward strength and humility during the process of Step 7 that was used to admit to being “powerless over alcohol – that our lives had become unmanageable (Step 1),” we will be able to face any shortcoming and problem that arises. “If that degree of humility could enable us to find the grace by which such a deadly obsession could be banished, then there must be hope of the same result respecting any other problem we could possibly have.”¹ We must be humble within ourselves and know when to seek help, in our recovery, responsibilities, and relationships. When asking a Higher Power to remove our shortcomings, we begin to let go and accept the flaws as small facts and not the totality of who we are. It is important to recognize and remove our shortcomings to continue to become the best individual we can be.

Humility is an equal opportunity, one we can all practice, whether in recovery and working the 12 Steps or not.
