Note: We conduct our ICADV Certified Nonviolence Training program at all locations. However, we provide substance abuse services only in Franklin.

Finally, effective substance abuse counseling is a reality!

We have developed a copyrighted, unique cognitive behavioral method to indirectly confront and challenge denial belief systems that are the core of substance abuse problems. Our method is specifically designed to challenge denial belief systems in a way that actually reduces defensiveness and shame.

We respect our clients.

Our program is a drastic contrast from today's typical, in-your-face, confrontational, "Why don't you admit you have a problem?" type strategies. We view these strategies to be abusive, humiliating, degrading, shaming, destructive and ineffective. Our innovative, common sense method of substance abuse intervention respects the dignity of our clients.

Clients love our program.

Clients and referral sources love our program. We have seen excellent results with all types of clients, from young criminal offenders that have experienced minimal life sphere disruptions, up to chronically dependent offenders that have had numerous unsuccessful previous treatment attempts. Probation officers and other referral sources are often amazed at the amount of positive feedback clients provide about our program. Clients who have experienced numerous "confrontational style" treatment attempts in the past praise us overwhelmingly.

We get results fast.

Our clients quickly become more accountable and responsible for their actions. After participation in just a few sessions, clients voluntarily verbalize that they now realize they have a problem that they couldn't see before. Even when they have relapses, set backs, and failures, they state that they did not do what they should have done and take complete responsibility for their mistake.
