Do I Have To Be An Alcoholic To Go To Rehab?

You don’t need to wait until your symptoms are severe and your life has fallen apart — Please don’t! No need to ‘hit bottom’. Asking for help sooner is always the best approach. As the wise Dutch philosopher Desiderius Erasmus put it:

“Prevention is Better than Cure”

If you catch the disease early, before it gets a chance to have severe negative consequences on your life, then you’ll avoid a lot of pain for yourself and loved ones. Your healing experience will be deeper and more personally fulfilling. Plus, you get to keep your health, self-respect, job, hobbies, social standing, loved ones, friends, and finances intact. Without treatment, alcoholism and other forms of addiction has a way of creeping up on people. If you catch it early you can stop it in its tracks. But left to its own devices the disease pours down every crack of your life until everything is negatively impacted if not destroyed.

EVERYONE who comes to Serenity Vista, regardless of where they may be on the continuum of disease onset and progression, expresses profound gratitude for the life-changing experience. An opportunity to pause and look at life, for spiritual exploration, self-reflection, personal development, grounding, recharging/rejuvenating and health improvement — so why wait?

Most traditional, institutional, US, government-sponsored, insurance accepting rehab facilities strictly require you to meet diagnostic criteria for chemical dependency. The main reason for this is to fulfill the accreditation and funding requirements of parent companies, governmental agencies, and insurance providers.

Serenity Vista is different. We’re completely private, not associated with any such agency, and don’t work with insurance companies. This gives us full autonomy to help those that want help in the best way that helps each individual.

The first step is acknowledging there may even possibly be a problem. Often a friend or family member will be able to see the beginningn of a problem before you do, but that’s not always the case. Many people are experts at hiding their drinking or drug use problem.

Many people seeking help may realize there is a problem or concern, but may not see it as full active addiction or “alcoholism”. We don’t require people ‘wait’ until some diagnostic criteria are met. This can lead to symptoms or consequences building up. If you think there may be a problem, we will help, before it gets worse.

We aren’t concerned with treating labels, but rather with helping individuals. Helping people thrive and live life with peace of mind and heart to their fullest potential.

Regardless of whether there’s a serious physical substance dependency or a more subtle “perception of a problem”, we’re here to help. You might want to do deep inner work, explore spirituality, work on self-improvement, or improve your quality of life. You don’t need to meet any specific criteria to come to Serenity Vista to regroup, heal or grow.

Some of our guests may feel they have their drinking under control, but want to find a deeper sense of well-being, explore life’s purpose and meaning, enhance inner peace and improve relationships.

Serenity Vista offers a personalized, individualized rehabilitation service that is designed to meet the needs of each person. We’re not looking for problems to fix. Rather than being problem-oriented, Serenity Vista is a solution-based treatment center. We shift from coping with problems to living in the solution.

People don’t have to wait until damage is done, or progresses, to ask for help. Waiting until everything falls apart doesn’t seem right. Problems from substance abuse can touch all aspects of your life, and can be irreversible.

If the problem persists any of the following can occur:
