With one of the highest recovery success rates in the country, the Spring 2 Life campus at ACTN helps clients break free from the chains of addiction — for life. The Christian-based drug and alcohol rehab is committed to treating substance abuse issues and giving individuals the tools they need to avoid relapse. Utilizing a comprehensive approach that cares for each individual medically, mentally, and spiritually, Spring 2 Life offers more than a standard 30-day inpatient program. The program allows clients to progress through treatment as they’re ready, giving each individual the opportunity to heal in his or her own time.
ABOUT ADDICTION CAMPUSES OF TENNESSEE – SPRING 2 LIFE
A tranquil, faith-based, multi-step recovery experience is offered at Addiction Campuses of Tennessee. Located in Murfreesboro, Tenn., the treatment center offers residential treatment and a transitional living program, which is called Spring 2 Life. The program specializes in substance abuse, behavioral disorders, prescription drug addiction, and dual diagnosis treatment. Additional services include intervention and medically-supervised detoxification.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
According to the facility’s website, length of stay varies from one client to the next, but requires a minimum commitment of four months of residential treatment. Clients undergo an evaluation of their emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual progress each month. At the end of every 30-day period, those who receive grades of A or B can move onto the next level.
The program combines biblical principles with a comprehensive, Christian-based treatment plan that is customized to each client’s needs. Programming includes individual, group, and family counseling, along with life skills education. Residents also participate in an eight-session interactive program called GEARS that addresses addiction as the by-product of unmet human needs. Pitching in with maintenance, chores and meal preparation is expected.
After successful completion of the residential phase of treatment, clients move onto transitional living, which typically lasts 90 days. Individuals are required to find employment at this stage, and are allowed to use weekend passes to visit friends and family (taking drug tests upon return). There are mandatory classes every evening as well, which may include an educational program, group sessions, worship, or alumni meetings.
Other activities include one-on-one support from a mentor/life coach, weekly classes with the goal of reinforcing the practice of healthy new habits, behaviors and skills, and supportive alumni gatherings.
For aftercare, graduates are encouraged to participate in Catapult, a Christian alumni program that reinforces the concept that addiction no longer controls clients’ lives.
