95% of all Treatment Center Facilities in the United States are 12 Step Program Based.
The Saint Jude Retreat House is one of the Most Successful Non 12 Step Programs in the Country. We are the most successful Alternative to Conventional Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Treatment Centers.
Following you will find 13 reasons of why the Saint Jude Retreat House is completely different from 12 Step Programs.
*12 Step Program Philosophy (Alcoholic Anonymous Model) |
The Jude Thaddeus Program |
| "We admitted we were powerless over alcohol/drugs –that our lives had become unmanageable". |
We empower our guests through information. Obtaining a complete understanding of alcohol and drug problems and a specific solution for those problems, positive motivation and how to achieve happiness –sober and drug free. |
| "Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity". |
We teach our guests about taking personal responsibility for their choices and being accountable for the outcomes of those choices. |
| "Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood him". |
We help our guests to stay motivated by teaching them how to structure their time and to experience LIFE without drugs or alcohol through planned social activities, outbound experiences and socializing appropriately with other guests and retreat house staff. |
| "Made a searching and fearless inventory of ourselves". |
Our guests learn how to put into action the techniques they have acquired to positively reinforce their commitment to living a sober and drug free life. |
| "Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs". |
The program teaches our guests a method of finding a spiritually based life. The course does not promote any particular concept of God, but rather supports any and all concepts of God. |
| "Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character". |
Our guests learn the truth about substance and alcohol abuse and that is, they are choices. The program teaches our guests that they are not diseased, insane or defective, but rather they have made poor choices. They are not doomed for life, but can now move on and make better, more productive choices. |
| "Humbly asked him to remove our shortcomings". |
The St. Jude Thaddeus Program teaches our guests that to give is to receive. Rather than a mission to only help other substance/alcohol abusers in order to stay clean and sober, our guests learn the importance of helping everyone to bring joy and happiness to others. When you help others in an unselfish way, in return you receive joy, peace and contentment. |
| "Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them". |
Our guests learn, through the guidance of a supportive and caring staff, what will ultimately make them happy. Our guests learn how to expand upon what they are good at and what they enjoy. |
| "Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others". |
Our guests are guided in recognizing their underlying behavior patterns through lessons in negative thought patterns and an intricate autobiographical process. From there our guests leave behind their old self and embark on the path of the new lifestyle they are creating. |
| "Continues to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it". |
The guests of The St. Jude Retreat House are taught the importance of unselfishness, purity of motives, honesty and love. |
| "Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood him, praying only for knowledge of his will for us and the power to carry that out". |
Our guests are provided with a customized program to suit their individual needs, enhancing personal empowerment and gaining a positive attitude in every area of their life. Each person is different so we do not expect them to fit into a one-size-fit’s-all mold. We take the time to get to know each guest on an individual basis. |
| "Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of those steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics/addicts, and to practice these principals in all our affairs". |
When our guests leave The St. Jude Thaddeus Program, they are armed with the knowledge of how to stay clean and sober. They will have personally recognized how committed they truly are to staying that way and will have formed an intricate plan as to what they need to do in order to obtain their desires and goals. |
THE SAINT JUDE RETREAT HOUSE |
The St. Jude Thaddeus Program was developed through years of research in conventional, 12-step programs. The disease theory of “addiction” or “alcoholism” is based on personal agenda and fraudulent studies.
The Jude Thaddeus Program is based on the truth, not on ones ideas or beliefs. With the highest verified success rate in the country, our non-punitive, common sense, goal oriented approach works.
The Guests of The St. Jude Thaddeus Program are always treated with dignity and respect. They are not diseased criminals, but rather human beings in need of help, guidance and above all, a lifestyle change. |
