Faith
in the Program
"Simple compliance with the 12-step program is a necessary stage for most AAs to go through, but does not constitute the full acceptance of the nature of the disease and the ongoing need for support and may, in fact, represent a resistance to full surrender. Surrender, however, refers to the state of complete acceptance of the program, including the surrender of one's will to a Higher Power. This is the spiritual state of acceptance that helps the recovering addict achieve a state of calmness and peace, and which indicates the dropping of resistance to the program and to recovery."

"The therapy I received at Santé allowed me to finally put myself first; ask for what I need; set boundaries; have a vision of my authentic self. I am almost four years sober thanks to Santé and my amazing counselor. Santé literally saved me."

The course creates a unique learning environment utilizing presentations, interactive discussions, and experiential exercises. In addition to learning about boundary issues and ethical standard infractions, the course also outlines methods to identify high risk clients and staff for safeguarding the office or treatment setting, as well as ways to obtain help if one has crossed boundaries and how to be safe in so called “gray” areas.
