Different Approach to Treatment

There are no steps and no group support meetings. The Saint Jude Retreats first teaches patients what alcoholism and associated drug use is, they debunk many myths associated with alcohol abuse, and they then provide personalized instruction through the science of neuroplasticity with their proprietary cognitive behavioral learning process. With this different approach to alcohol abuse treatment, The Saint Jude Retreats address addiction not as a disease but as habitual behavior based on lifestyle choices. To combat this learned behavior, they treat alcohol abuse with cognitive therapy that promotes behavioral learning. This can be helpful for patients who have undergone unsuccessful treatment in the past and are looking for an alternative method to what has not worked for them in the past. And patients are given resources to apply during treatment that will be used for the rest of their lives.

Rooted in Independent Research

The Saint Jude Retreats have been researching cognitive therapy and how to apply it to alcohol abuse for 24 years. During this time, they have published and reported on their findings. This information is available for patients when making the decision whether or not to choose The Saint Jude Retreats as the solution to alcohol abuse. And while The Saint Jude Retreats may not be a viable approach for every patient, the facility has provided long term success to 62.5% of its patients. This statistic is independently verified by a third party research organization that continually follows up with patients each year following treatment. And while 62.5% does not seem like a high number, it provides a realistic view on treatment and the long-term efficacy of cognitive therapy as a treatment for alcohol abuse, when compared to similar short-term studies related to other treatment methods.

Online Reviews and Patient Referrals

With numerous on-site, real patient reviews, The Saint Jude Retreats provides prospective patients with access to real patient stories and commendations. The facility boasts a 30% referral rate of incoming patients who chose The Saint Jude Retreats exclusively based on a past patient's experience.
