The path to recovery, at times, can be difficult, and its a life-long journey. Although the road to recovery can be frightening, he consequences of not taking it are far worse.

On any given day, hundreds of thousands of people are looking to feed thier addiction. Literally millions are in need of some sort of treatment from a drug rehab.
Drug addiction is a serious social issue. Millions of families are destroyed and lives are shattered. The job Market suffers because active addicts may be able to maintain employment. Drug abuse places an unworkable strain on America’s criminal justice system, America’s healthcare system, America’s social services system.
Plain and simple, drugs kill. Drug overdoses claimed the lives of over 2.4 million people in 2005. They leave loved ones behind: parents, husbands, wives, children. They leave behind a legacy of shame and pain for the world.
It would seem that, in the current trends in America, More parentds and families are grasping the notion that the right drug rehab program can put an end to addiction. More than ever, Drug rehabilitation is in the forefront of the media. It has almost become part of popular culture to be in addiction recovery after having attended a drug rehabilitation program.
Drug treatment centers No longer have the stigma they once did. Long gone are days where addicts and alcoholics are locked away in asylums. Drug Treatment programs are no longer in the shadows. It is no longer taboo to discuss topics of drug addiction and drug rehab. For Drug addicts, the future has never been brighter. More and more addicts are getting the hep they need.

At Capo, we are pleased to offer remote offices with full access to fax, telephone, and internet. Your business is your business throughout the recovery process – beginning, middle, and beyond. Your privacy is of utmost importance to us. No one will know you have contacted us. Our treatment plans are completely customized to the individual after an extensive intake interview and are frequently reviewed during the stay. We know that our clients are capable of working extremely hard but through substance abuse have often neglected the social, emotional and spiritual aspects of a fulfilled life that does not require drugs and alcohol for relief.
Dual Diagnosis
During the initial stages of alcohol and drug treatment, a diagnosis of the individual’s circumstances must be made. This will encompass every aspect of the patient’s life. Personality, social interactive behavior patterns, disposition, severity of the addiction, length of time of the drug abuse, type and common dosages of the drug being abused and many other factors must be thoroughly examined to make a full diagnosis and choose the right course of action to treat the patient. One matter that is extremely important to consider is the particular personality of the patient. The susceptibility of the patient to personality disorders is important to address as it can have a massive impact on any alcohol and drug treatment that may be used.
The presence of or susceptibility to a personality or brain disorder when combined with alcohol and drug abuse is known as dual diagnosis. The alcohol and drug treatment that is chosen for cases of dual diagnosis will be slightly different than in the case of solely drug or alcohol abuse. The importance of a correct diagnosis in these cases is of utmost importance. If the patient being analyzed is susceptible to, or has had in the past, a personality disorder or similar brain dysfunction, it could have serious consequences as to the type of alcohol and drug treatment that is used. For example, someone who is susceptible to acute depression will not be suitable for treatment using medicines that produce depression as a side effect. Such treatment could result in the patient becoming severely suicidal. If the patient is schizophrenic, alcohol and drug rehab involving drugs that cause confusion would be most unsuitable. If such a dual diagnosis is ignored or missed, it could have severe repercussions for the patient. The drugs used to treat alcohol and drug addictions could trigger a psychotic episode, mental or emotional breakdown, or the return, often with a vengeance, of a previous disorder. Such effects could result in permanent damage to the health of the patient or, in some cases, even death. It is extremely helpful to all those involved in an alcohol and drug rehab program that the patient be honest and open in these situations. Hiding any information that may seem irrelevant could cause serious problems down the road. If the individual considering or about to begin an alcohol and drug treatment program can recognize what determines a dual diagnosis, this can help the treatment process immensely. If one suspects they may have, or had, any kind of personality or other brain related disorder, it is imperative that this information is passed on to the doctor or nurse involved in the alcohol and drug treatment diagnostic process.
Detox
Detoxification is the process of helping the body to clean itself of drugs, alcohol, and other toxins while minimizing any withdrawal symptoms. This is one of the first steps in any Drug Rehab program The Chapman House Detox is a confidential and comfortable residential drug treatment program designed to break the vicious cycle of drug and/or alcohol addiction. You will be residing in a peaceful and nurturing environment while receiving care both medically and emotionally throughout your stay. We pride ourselves on providing you with a Detox recovery program in a Bed & Breakfast setting. Your personalized Detox program will be determined and monitored by our key Medical Doctor. In addition, you will be in the hands of our highly experienced staff members who will be watching over you 24-hours per day.
The Chapman House Detox is typically a 7-day process. We are unique because we go above and beyond other Detox programs. Most programs offer their patients staff supervision during the initial withdrawal process. Our Detox program not only offers ongoing supervision, but also the expertise of our Licensed Physician and Licensed Psychologist who specialize in addictive medicine. The Licensed Physician supports our patient by determining and prescribing the most medically comfortable Detox protocol. The Psychologist supports our patient by determining any underlying psychiatric / psychological factors that contribute to the patient’s addiction (ex. Dual Diagnosis). This simply doesn’t happen in most drug treatment programs, particularly at fees as reasonable as ours. Finally, each patient in our Detox program is under the direct supervision of a Primary Care Counselor who has Professional Certification in Addiction Counseling. Upon completion of Detox, the Treatment Team presents the patient with options that will help to insure ongoing recovery.
Drug Testing
Chapman House is available to conduct Urine Drug/Alcohol Testing for anyone concerned about substance abuse. All test results are held strictly confidential between the client and Chapman House, unless the client pre-authorizes Chapman House (in writing) to release the results of a test. Types of Drug and Alcohol Testing Currently Available
- Parents Suspicious that they child may be abusing drugs or alcohol may have them tested at Chapman House
- Court ordered testing
- Pre-employment screening
- Athlete deterrent testing
- Testing for private, personal, or other confidential reasons.
Chapman House offers: “On-Site” testing with immediate results Or Multi-panel laboratory testing. The Chapman House Counseling Team can also conduct Professional Drug and Alcohol Evaluations for individuals, parents with teenagers, employers and/or anyone who requires an assessment. Parents don't be tempted to use at-home kits! At-home drug-testing kits sold on the Internet or other do-it-yourself solutions are not the best way to determine if an adolescent has been abusing drugs or alcohol. Knowing how to collect a urine or hair sample for testing, and understand the limits of test results, according to a new study released in the April 2004 issue of Pediatrics can be very difficult. It is important that parents be confident in their findings, and don't wrongfully accuse or acquit their child of harmful or potentially fatal behavior. Parents using at-home kits may find themselves falsely reassured by a false negative, or inaccurately accusing their child of substance abuse because of a false positive. Don't let this happen to you and your family. Contact Chapman House and we will make sure your results are accurate and reliable. Confidential Drug and Alcohol Screening and Testing

What Sets Chapman House Apart From The Rest?
Emotional Success!
Our Unique 6 - Basic Feelings™ Approach Designed by our founder Tim Chapman, the 6-Basic Feelings theory is what we believe to be the foundation of continued successful recovery. Our 6-Basic Feelings theory takes into account the patient's emotional state. Most treatment programs address an addiction problem exclusively at an educational level, or solely by utilizing a "12 Step" approach. They fail to deal with the emotional aspect of addiction, which is the primary reason a person continues to abuse substances. The 6-Basic Feelings theory is fool proof. It deeply penetrates denial. It holds people accountable and heals emotional wounds while simultaneously enhancing the person's self-esteem! This is the only program of its kind, anywhere!
Chapman Houses' Philosophy of Recovery
The Chapman House philosophy of recovery is known as the "A-R-T". All three elements of (A, R and T) are essential for sustaining long-term abstinence, sobriety and recovery. Our clinicians have researched this approach for over 30 years. A-R-T is a simple discovery, yet powerful in it's results. It takes several people and a strong support system to achieve "recovery." The A-R-T works as follows: Accountability - The person needs to be accountable for his/her actions and the resulting consequences. He/she must break through denial or delusion that he/she has a problem that will lead only to institutionalization, insanity, or death. Responsibility - The person needs to take the necessary steps in treatment to accept his/her condition. Each step of responsible behavior builds a person's self-esteem, credibility with others, and confidence. These elements are all critical to recovery. One small step of responsibility will eventually lead to a responsible, self-sufficient person. Time - The person needs to accept the fact that recovery is a process and not an event. If it took years to develop this condition, it will naturally take time to develop solid recovery. The A-R-T of recovery is accomplished under the supervision of our caring, knowledgeable staff.
Chapman House Professional Assessment / Evaluation
The Chapman House Treatment Program involves an initial evaluation by one of our Certified Counselors and a member of the Interdisciplinary Treatment Team. The evaluation is conducted prior to admission to determine the participant's problems, needs, and level of care required. A medical and/or psychiatric evaluation may also be conducted depending on the person's presenting issues.
Chapman House Patients Who Suffer From Dual Diagnosis
If a Dual Diagnosis problem exists with a Chapman House patient, our Licensed Psychologist will conduct a psychiatric interview. The doctor will evaluate the patient and determine the additional problems to be addressed during treatment. This may include ordering a Battery of psychological tests to be conducted by our Clinical Psychologist. The Psychologist may order medication to be dispensed throughout the treatment program. In addition, the patient may be scheduled for weekly visits with the Psychologist. This would be done to insure ongoing medical/psychiatric management. Chapman House Staff monitors all prescribed medications.
Chapman House Drug Rehab Treatment Phases
The Chapman House Adult Treatment program is typically 28 days in length. However, Chapman House also provides longer-term care for patients who may require this assistance. During this initial 28 day Phase of Treatment, the patient may be involved in several activities including, but not limited to:

Chapman House provides our patients with The CHAPMAN HOUSE PARTICIPANT WORKBOOK. This workbook that has undergone 25 years of development. It is a specialized treatment tool used exclusively by our program. This specialized treatment tool insures a no-nonsense approach to recovery. It accurately measures and monitors a patient's therapeutic progress throughout the program. Here are a few examples of the treatment tools available at Chapman House:
GROUP SESSION: A closed, confidential meeting that is facilitated by a professional staff member with a group of Chapman House patients. Patients may discuss or present written assignments, treatment plans, or they may discuss personal issues that require professional guidance.
12 - STEP MEETING: A closed, confidential meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous, Gamblers Anonymous or other anonymous group. Our staff transports and escorts our patients to these meetings while they are undergoing treatment. Meetings are located throughout the community. This gives our patients the exposure necessary to evaluate and feel comfortable in utilizing 12-Step meetings for ongoing support.
ANGER MANAGEMENT: A session in which patients are under the direction of a professional facilitator with specialized skills in the area of Anger Management. Role Play therapy and educational processes may be utilized to assist the patient in identifying their anger. The group participants are involved in helping one another by sharing their own experiences with anger, as well as, methods of dealing with it.
STRESS MANAGEMENT: A session in which participants are under the direction of a professional facilitator with specialized skills in the area of Stress Management. Role play therapy and educational processes may be utilized to assist the participants in identifying areas of stress in their lives. As with Anger Management, patients are involved helping one another by sharing their own experiences with stress, as well as, methods of dealing with it.
EDUCATION SESSION: A session where patients are instructed via lecture, video, computer or other means of teaching elements of recovery. A partial list of educational topics include: The Disease Concept of Alcoholism, Family Dysfunction and Addiction, Spirituality and Addiction, AIDS and HIV's connection with Addiction, Nutrition, Exercise Physiology, Relationships, Codependency, Dual Diagnosis, Physiological effects of Addiction, 12 - step Program Philosophy, etc.
TREATMENT PLANNING: A private session where the patient's problems are evaluated and a plan of how his/her treatment will be implemented is discussed. This is typically between the patient and his/her Primary Counselor. The Treatment Plan is the "map" for recovery during the patient's stay at Chapman House. Treatment plans are reviewed each week in a Clinical Staff meeting. There, plans may be adjusted depending upon the patient's progress in treatment.
CONJOINT FAMILY SESSION: A private family session between the client, a spouse, child or parent and the counselor.
FAMILY EDUCATION SESSION: A weekly group session in which the patient and his/her family members attend together, in order to gain a better understanding of the nature of the problems and it's impact on the family. Productive strategies for dealing with issues are discussed.
Chapman House (Optional) "Extended Care" Phase
This is a specialized Phase of treatment unique only to Chapman House. You will not find this creativity available in any Institutional-based treatment facility. It is customary that our patient's complete our Primary Treatment Phase before entering into a reduced level of care. Chapman House is designed to accommodate patient's who may also require long-term care. This includes up to 24 months. Chapman House Clinical Staff, along with each patient, will determine the appropriateness of treatment during the initial evaluation. Extended Care may be offered or recommended by the Clinical Team upon completion of the Primary Phase of Treatment.
Chapman House Aftercare / Alumni Association
All of our Patients are welcomed into our aftercare program upon completion of treatment. All patients are encouraged to join our Alumni Association and remain active in "giving back to others" who enter the program. Our 25+ years of experience teaches us that "quick fixes" don't work! Only caring people, quality treatment and consistent follow-through will result in long-term success.
Chapman House Outpatient Treatment
Each patient is faced with unique problems and circumstances; therefore, the treatment plan for each person is specialized. Chapman House offers Day-Treatment, as well as Outpatient treatment programs for patients who do not require an inpatient facility.
Intervention
When a loved one needs to go to drug rehab, yet refuses to accept it, a Family Intervention is the answer! A Chapman House Family Interventionist can be used for people engaged in any self-destructive behavior:
- A person with a drinking problem
- A person with a drug abuse problem
- A person with a gambling problem
- A person with an eating disorder
- A person with a psychiatric problem
- An adolescent with emotional or behavioral problems
- A person who is extremely depressed
What is an intervention and how does it work?
Intervention is a technique that was originated by Vernon Johnson of the Johnson Institute in Minnesota. Mr. Johnson's original idea was to create a "controlled crisis" for the Alcoholic who was reluctant to enter into drug treatment. This type of Intervention was then modified to address all crisis situations. Intervention, when conducted by a trained professional is 96% successful in convincing a reluctant person to enter into drug rehab. Today there are several variations of the Johnson Institute method. The Chapman House staff is trained in the original Johnson method, as well as techniques developed exclusively by our own treatment team. We are capable of performing Intervention on both adults and adolescents. As professional Interventionists, we have witnessed first hand the method of Intervention, which again is 96% successful. It can be successful for you as well, because there's one thing that we're sure about; although each person is unique, the process of addiction is not. Furthermore, the process of recovery is a simple one, provided the patient follows a professional's recommendation. Several problems arise when a family attempts to conduct an intervention on their own. We have witnessed it time and again, the distraught and disappointment left over when a family unsuccessfully attempts an intervention by themselves. Therefore, we have developed a list of do's and don'ts for Intervention.
Things you should do:
- Break the "no talk rule" and discuss your loved one's drinking or drug use with others. Addiction lives like a mushroom, in the dark. Once you bring light to the addiction, it becomes approachable and treatable.
- Seek counseling for co-dependency. Co-dependency is the addiction of the family members. It is when a person becomes addicted to another person to tell them what to do, what to think, what to feel, and who they are. It is when a person loses their sense-of self. Counseling by a trained addiction specialist can help break the cycle of co-dependency.
- Plan your Intervention with a professional Interventionist. This will bring the family together in a way you never thought possible. Just show-up, the Interventionist will lead you to freedom.
Things You Shouldn't Do:
- Don't continue searching for evidence of a problem once you have found it. Call a Chapman House Interventionist before you become physically ill. It is only a matter of time before the addiction will take its toll on your health. Many people seek to stay in the "problem" in order to avoid their own fears. Don't allow this to happen to you any longer. Call us now!
- Don't allow others to talk you out of intervention. When your role or position in the family is threatened because of a family members' addiction, or dual diagnosis, people tend to look for excuses to avoid confronting that person. Don't allow this to happen, call us today!
- Don't procrastinate on conducting the intervention. The longer you wait the worst it gets. There's no safe waiting period.
- Don't allow fear to make your decision. If you feel alone now, you won't feel any lonelier if your loved one becomes upset that you care enough to intervene. Call us and you will have a professional ally.
- Don't talk to a person about getting help when he/she is under the influence of alcohol or any other chemical. They are not rational and will not respond favorably.
How Does Intervention Work
Intervention breaks through the person's denial by approaching several of his/her defense mechanisms all at once. Removing or short-circuiting the person's defense mechanisms allows the family to present the truth about his/her problem in a calm, rational and loving manner.
Why Shouldn't the Family Perform Their Own Intervention
"Home made" Interventions or those conducted by the family without professional assistance rarely include the correct plan or direction necessary to succeed. Furthermore, most people fail to prepare properly and lack training or understanding of the clinical nature of the problem. And, above all, family members lack the professional objectivity necessary for success. "Home made" Interventions are less than 20% successful. Professional Intervention is 96% successful. Call a professional at Chapman House today! The goal of Intervention is to convince the person to enter into drug treatment. It is not a commitment or guarantee that the person will succeed at treatment however; it is the first and most important step towards recovery for the entire family.
Doesn't a Person Need a Desire to Get Help in Order for Drug Rehab to be Successful?
It is a myth that a person must desire help in order to benefit from treatment. As a matter of fact, we estimate that 85% of the people who enter into drug rehab do so in denial and under some sort of duress. Intervention is a powerful and successful tool for influencing a loved one to enter treatment. The Chapman House Intervention Team is prepared to fly anywhere in the world, and at anytime to conduct an Intervention for a family. Upon completion of the Intervention, our Interventionist will escort your loved one back to Chapman House to insure a safe trip, as well as, to insure a smooth transition into our detox and drug treatment center.
When is a Chapman House Interventionist Called Upon?
The Chapman House Interventionist is called upon when a family requests help for a loved one who is unwilling to acknowledge their problem, or when a person is unwilling or unable to seek drug addiction treatment on their own.

Teensavers
Are you concerned that our middle schools and high schools are ill equipped to deal with our kids?
Today’s schools (public and private) are ill equipped to deal with students that have drug addictions, kids who are hyper active, kids with A.D. H. D., or kids that have issues with anger, behavioral problems, or emotional problems.
Our middle and high schools today (public and private) are in trouble, which puts our kids in harms way. A teenager’s number 1 source of obtaining drugs is at school.
Teachers are not trained to deal with kids who require counseling during class session. Chapman Academy staff is trained to deal with these adolescent drug addiction issues.
Chapman Academy is an educational, as well as therapeutic environment. Our curriculum includes components in your child’s day that simply are not possible in a traditional school. High school is a social setting, as well as, a learning environment. Unfortunately, schools don’t teach basic emotional survival skills. Chapman Academy does!
Chapman Academy teaches at all educational levels including college preparation curriculum.
Need a few more examples of a restricted system?
Lets say that you suspect that your child is hanging out with “undesirable” friends. Is your present school going to do anything about it? NO! They cannot risk involvement in personal issues. Chapman Academy is involved in supporting our students in all aspects of their lives. After all, education is more than simple academics.
How about if your child is drinking alcohol or using drugs?
What can your present school do about it? Most schools have adopted a “zero tolerance policy.” This means students that are found to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs at school are shipped off to an “alternative school.” Here it is likely they will meet hundreds of other kids in their same situation. The problem is that none of the students are receiving substance abuse treatment from the “alternative school.”
Chapman Academy specializes in treating teen substance abuse, as well as addressing the underlying emotional issues. All this takes place during the day while your child is receiving an excellent education.
What if gang members are threatening your child?
This could happen for reasons as simple as a gang member doesn’t like the shoes your kid is wearing? What’s your present school going to do about it? NOTHING! Gangs intimidate our kids and run many of our schools. Chapman Academy does not tolerate and is not intimidated by this element. We protect our students from physical and emotional harm. All students must agree to follow specialized rules designed to teach discipline and improve self-esteem.
If you’re teen is experiencing trouble in school, perhaps a change in environment and influence is in order.
CHAPMAN ACADEMY is the solution!
Chapman Academy has worked with teen problems for over twenty-five years. Drug using fads among teens have come and gone, but one thing has not changed, our schools maintain a pre-historic position towards addressing this epidemic.
Chapman Academy is a therapeutic and educational setting. Here, students are confronted on their behavior, held accountable, nurtured, monitored, protected and educated. Parents are kept informed of their child’s progress on a weekly basis.
When parents leave their teen in the hands of Chapman Academy, rapid changes will begin. Our students are involved in creative learning and counseling throughout the day. The Chapman Academy therapeutic program is not simply an educational process. It’s a daily routine that turns into a lifestyle.
