Relapse Recovery Program I

The first four weeks (Phase I) of treatment at The Mayflower Center are devoted to building a strong therapeutic relationship with our clients. Our goal is for each client to experience a significant internal and external shift in their approach to life. The foundation for this shift begins with the clinical approach in RRP I.

Our main treatment goals include:

• Comprehensive and global assessment of the client
• Investigation of all diagnoses and stabilization of medications
• Establishing a formal Clinical Treatment Plan
• Identifying and redirecting drug seeking behavior
• Breaking down denial associated with current life situation
• Identifying family patterns of addictive and co-addictive behavior
• Implementing healthy client-family contact guidelines
• Cultivating a safe therapeutic community
• Integrating insights provided by referents
• Establishing protocol with the professional referent(s)
• Mining additional data from external resources
• Identifying strengths and weaknesses associated with previous attempts at sobriety

RRPI provides an intensely structured treatment environment designed to lay a firm foundation for advancement to a less rigorous and more open treatment community. By identifying the maladaptive behaviors that historically have plagued the client, Phase I demands that our clients openly discuss the core issues that have inhibited advancement in prior treatment attempts. By starting to acquire a deep and true knowledge of one’s condition and practicing the early steps of the program of Alcoholics Anonymous, the client begins to earn new freedoms that lead to Phase II.
