Alternative Recovery Treatment for Substance Abuse and Psycho-Emotional Disorders

Alternative Treatment International, Inc. ("A.T.I.") offers private, exclusive, Non-12-Step recovery treatment in a stress-free tropical setting.

We Treat the Whole Person and the Cause of the Problem, Not Just the Symptom™

A.T.I. offers individualized clinical recovery treatment for a small group of 18 clients.

It is sometimes difficult to understand what is causing the problem. For example, in the case of addiction and depression, is the depression causing the addictive behavior or is the addiction causing the depression. Understanding psycho-emotional disorders goes far beyond treating the symptom. You need to find the root cause of your problem by uncovering and resolving it by opening up to therapeutic techniques designed to help you to move on in your life in a positive, healthy and productive way.

A.T.I. is a clinically based psychotherapeutic program that treats the psycho-emotional disorder(s) and/or the addiction(s). Psycho-emotional problems often go hand-in-hand with addiction, but not always. As a dual-diagnosis program, we specialize in treating addictions as well as emotional problems, including a combination of two or more diagnosis.

A.T.I. is also a holistic program that integrates alternative healing techniques encompassing the Mind-Body-Spirit-Environment(R symbol). Our spiritual healing techniques (non-religious) are focused on the individual regaining and connecting with his/her renewed spiritual essense and self awareness. Our proven alternative healing techniques have been designed to assist you in not only working through your addiction and/or emotional issues, but also to be "life transforming."

We understand what you are going through. Substance abuse problems and psycho-emotional disorders not only affect your life, but your family and those around you. We can help you overcome your chemical dependency, alcoholism, cocaine addiction, heroin addiction, depression, dual diagnosis, eating disorder, trauma and other behavioral and emotional problems, with our specialized innovative techniques designed for recovery.

It's not an easy decision to admit that you have a problem and take the steps to enter a residential treatment program for alcoholism, chemical dependency and dual diagnosis. Sometimes this is the only option. It's important to remove yourself from your addictive or destructive lifestyle and environment so that you can focus on overcoming your addiction dependency or psycho-emotional problems, without the added stress of a difficult or negative environment.

We are all aware that drug and alcohol use can be extremely costly and take a negative effect on personal and family finances. This cycle must be stopped. Even if at times treatment may seem out of reach, we can provide you with the recovery treatment you need.



Relapse Prevention

We all know that most people struggle in recovery with relapse, which unfortunately is a common occurrence. Preventing relapse is one of the most important aspects in your recovery. You may find that you are living day by day with the fear of relapsing. Living in fear greatly hampers your recovery and sobriety, and is not necessary. At Alternative Treatment International, Inc. you will learn how you can live a happy, healthy life, without fear and without relapse.

If the usual relapse prevention techniques work, then why do so many people suffering from alcoholism, substance abuse and mental health disorders relapse? This is the question that we have been asking ourselves for the last 40-50 years, with no concrete answers being provided. We hear only that addicts relapse due to their disease, weakness, environment, there is something wrong with them, they have a sickness, it's society's fault, drugs and alcohol are too prevalent, and so on.

At Alternative Treatment International, Inc., when we teach clients to change their self-concept through our innovative Perception Therapy^®, addiction relapse does not have to occur or get in the way of recovery. People can live happy, healthy lives without the constant negative affirmations that they are sick, and must fear that they will relapse at any moment. This is only a perception, not a reality. Any person has the ability to change their perception, thinking, behavior and reality. We will provide you with relapse prevention techniques that allow you to change your perception and thinking, which prevents relapse without the daily fear.
