Most questions asked regarding our June statement in the ' Observer
were: How do we treat persons afflicted with alcoholism?
W e treat alcoholism by the uses of a four phase modality. Phase A
through D, along with the Triple R concept (Rights, Respect, and
Responsibility).
PHASE A:
When persons come to the EXODUS program as clients they start out
in Phase A. After the intake procedure, all of the various crises,
provision of emergency and supportive help further diagnosis is
recognized, and a certain amount of confidence is developed between
the client and the EXODUS program. During this phase the client is
prepared to enter Phase B.
PHASES:
Here the client makes a commitment to adjust his habits one at a time
to a more constructive and productive selection through process coun
seling and other supportive presentations. The Triple R (Rights, Respect
and Responsibility) concept is used as a measuring model by which the
client can objectively balance and ensure his Rights to his Responsibility
through Respect. At present we have no Phase B clients.
PHASE C:
After a client has successfully gone through Phase B he enters Phase
C, which is a direct supportive service to help the client when he runs in
to difficulties regarding job, family or friends.
PHASE D:
Is a forever follow-up service to let the client know that, even though
he/she has completed the EXODUS program, if help is ever needed we
are here, and no "blame factor" is at stake. This is-done through periodic
mailings and group activity invitations.
The EXODUS program has been in existence for almost four months.
It has gained approximately 110 clients, and has expanded to include a
day care facility and a residential center.
Yes, we are effectively treating alcoholism by the hour, by the day, by
the month. Our clients appreciate your support, contributions and
donations.
