Help for Yourself
Help For Yourself
Dealing with change in any aspect of life can be overwhelming. When you struggle with addiction, asking for help, and recognizing you need to change your life can present even more obstacles. Despite the difficulty, asking for help demonstrates you have courage. You may be feeling low, not knowing what recovery has in store for you. However, it is possible to recover and live a happy, sober life. All you have to do is ask for help.
How to Know You Need Help
Admitting you have a problem with addiction can be challenging. You may not even know what to look out for. It may be helpful to ask yourself these questions:
- Has my life become unmanageable? We recognize unmanageability in the first step of the 12 Steps, which is incorporated into our model at Spero Recovery Center. Has drinking or drug use led you to not be able to manage daily responsibilities? Even if you manage work, home, and a social life reasonably well, perhaps your emotional state has become unmanageable.
- Do I have the desire to quit but can’t seem to? The disease of addiction has a grip on us. We can’t seem to put the alcohol or drugs down despite our best efforts. When we become obsessive and compulsive over substance use, we can’t stop no matter how hard we try.
- Do I crave substances when I’m not using them? One significant sign of addiction is cravings. When you aren’t using substances, you may crave them.
- Is it impossible to live without drugs? Addiction is an insidious disease. It changes the way we think, feel, and interact with the world. It can get in the way of our relationships, jobs, financial responsibilities, and more. Some days it may even feel like you can’t get out of bed without taking a drink or using a drug.
If you are still questioning whether you need help, it is always best to talk to a medical provider.
Finding What Works Best For You
Finding a facility that fits your needs is essential in seeking care for addiction. Since you can choose from many options, it may feel overwhelming at times. You may want to look at the different programs a facility has, the levels of care they provide, and the options they offer for aftercare.
Spero Recovery Center is a clinically-informed residential program for men. We emphasize the evidence-based treatment and the importance of living a fulfilling life in recovery. We want our guests to learn how to understand the principles of recovery and apply them to life after the program to ensure the best opportunity for long-term sobriety. Spero Recovery Center offers a gender-specific residential program. Guests stay at our site for a minimum of 30 days, with the option of staying up to 90 days. Upon completing residential programming, our guests also have the opportunity to enter our sober living homes.
At Spero Recovery Center, we know how long it can take to get to the point of seeking help for addiction. We want our guests to maintain long-term recovery, which is why we emphasize creating an aftercare plan. An aftercare plan is designed based on your specific needs, to help you navigate life in early recovery outside of our program. Having a plan can help you maintain motivation and momentum as you move forward in recovery.
The Spero Recovery Center Difference
At Spero Recovery Center, we provide comprehensive clinical treatment led by licensed therapists who are dedicated to your healing and long-term recovery. Our experienced clinical team works closely with you to develop individualized treatment plans that address your unique needs and goals.
Our approach includes experiential therapy, which moves beyond traditional talk therapy to engage you in hands-on, real-world activities that promote healing and personal growth. Through experiential therapy, you’ll participate in meaningful activities that help you process emotions, build coping skills, and discover new aspects of yourself in a supportive environment. This therapeutic approach, guided by our licensed professionals, allows you to practice new behaviors and develop insights that translate directly into your daily life.
Our licensed therapists integrate evidence-based clinical interventions with the proven principles of the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, creating a holistic treatment experience. You’ll work through the 12 Steps within a recovery community guided by individuals who have walked a similar path, while receiving professional clinical support every step of the way.
At Spero Recovery Center, clinical treatment and peer community work hand in hand. Our licensed therapists facilitate both individual and group sessions that foster honest communication and interpersonal skill development. Through experiential therapy activities and clinical interventions, you’ll build the foundation for lasting change. We also offer a robust alumni program to provide ongoing support after treatment.
We believe in setting you up for long-term success by combining professional clinical care, experiential therapeutic techniques, and the principles of recovery. When you complete our program, you’ll have both the clinical tools and the community support to become the person you’ve always wanted to be.
Accessibility to Care
Our mission is to provide accessible, high-quality care to all by offering more affordable addiction treatment.
