In all areas of our organization we apply our core values this includes our business practices as well as our clinical drug and alcohol treatment programs. Our counselors receive ongoing training from the Meadows, the premier treatment center in the United States.

As a way to provide our clients with the optimum opportunity to remain clean and sober, Whiteside Manor takes several approaches in dealing with addictions, alcoholism and associated mental illnesses.

The first is to provide a safe, comfortable, family-style living environment where our clients can be surrounded with supportive friends, exemplary role models and well-trained leadership. This allows each client to experience a different way of life for themselves in a positive family atmosphere, to develop new habits and begin to feel comfortable and confident with a clean and sober lifestyle.

In addition, our program is a 12-Step based and highly structured program that stresses the importance of long term exposure to recovery oriented activities such as l2-Step recovery program involvement, sponsorship and fellowship. We expect and encourage all our clients to continue a strong commitment to the 12-Step philosophies and traditions for the rest of their lives.

We also believe that there are other modalities and tools that can support and enhance recovery. We believe that the disease of addiction affects the entire person; encompassing the body, mind and spirit and we want to address each of these areas while helping with discipline and structure.

And finally, the family can play a positive and powerful role in the recovery process. We invite and encourage family members and/or significant others to come to our Family Program to address issues which center around these relationships.
