We know from personal experience that battling drug addiction and alcoholism on your own can be a very difficult process but together there is always hope.
Mental health professionals estimate that approximately 2 out of 10 addicts recover from the disease of addiction. Costa Rica Treatment Center is committed to achieving better results by applying evidence-based practices to help those addicted to alcohol and other drugs.
We became passionate about opening a treatment center because of the shockingly low success rates and the soaring cost of treatment in the United States.
We knew that by empowering recovered addicts and alcoholics in our community we could collaboratively achieve better results.
We intuitively understood that if the message of recovery was transmitted effectively anyone, no matter what their circumstance, could be free from alcoholism and drug addiction; after all, we had been liberated from addiction ourselves.
Together, we could push the industry benchmark forward and help offer a solution to the worldwide drug epidemic.
As we investigated other treatment centers, it became increasingly apparent that most drug and alcohol treatment programs had been developed by mental health professionals with little to no personal experience recovering from addiction and alcoholism.
Despite the high cost of treatment, the results were at times ineffective. We decided to challenge the status quo and put forward our attempt at helping those struggling to recover from addiction.
In the beginning, most of our clients came to Costa Rica Treatment Center seeking help having relapsed only days after being discharged from other drug rehabs.
Despite completing treatment programs at other institutions, it became apparent our clients had absolutely no idea what alcoholism or drug addiction was about and what course of action was needed in order to stay clean and sober.
The majority seemed very confused on why they had relapsed in the first place.
Costa Rica Treatment Center is our collective response to this ongoing problem.
Our evidence-based treatment programs have proven to be highly effective. We’ve seen great results and our growing list of alumni continue to experience a life free from drug addiction and alcoholism.
We consider ourselves fortunate to be able to participate in the recovery process of our clients. We hope you will give yourself a chance, take action and join us.
