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.

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.
