The effects of the treatments provided at the Camino Recovery Centre are sure to be effective, permanent and long-lasting. There are different kinds of ways in which treatment is provided. The choice about what kind of treatment to administer is made on the basis of the individual needs of the patient involved. Some of the treatments that are provided have been enumerated below:

THERAPY ON A GROUP BASIS:

Group therapy usually involves various people from all walks of life assembled in a group and seeking therapy from one psychologist at the same time. This is a kind of a support group that provides encouragement and inspiration to each other. The Minnesota 12 step programme is followed. Multiple problems are solved together rapidly and effectively. There are creative ways in which healing is sought. They may include dramatisation, art therapy, expressive anger work, etc. If the people in the group are experiencing their current problems due to some depressing or traumatic event in their life, these events are explored to provide a sense of closure. People are encouraged to talk about their past life so that they can move on and make a new beginning.

DETOXIFICATION:

People who are suffering from alcohol or drug addictions are usually provided a detoxification treatment that is done under a certified doctor. Prescriptions of various medicines to help combat the physical addiction are provided. Apart from the physical aspect, the mental aspect is also given due attention in order to assess what the person is psychologically going through. The medicines to be consumed are advised on the basis of the assessments made.

FAMILY:

At the Camino Recovery Centre, the family of the patient plays an effective role in the treatment process. At some step of the treatment procedure, the family’s role is assessed. The problems that the patient is experiencing automatically affect his/her loved ones or the people he lives with. The effect can range from mild to extreme and in some cases it can lead to severe health problems in a member of the family as well. So, not only does the primary patient have to be treated but along with him/her, the detrimental effect that this illness has had on the family also has to be healed so that there is a permanent solution and a healthy environment is restored. Certain days are fixed for holding family programmes. The members of the family have to be present on these days to get themselves assessed so that the problem is effectively rooted out.
