In the recovery community humanness is defined as the understanding and acceptance of the frailties and weaknesses associated with oneself as an inperfect being.
Active alcoholism and addiction blinds an individual from seeing the destructive characteristics of humanness that we all posess. The defense mechanisms that protect a chemically dependent individual from the reality of their suffering are:
Denial
Resistance
Impulsivity
Dishonesty |
Frustration
Resentment
Insecurity
Fear |
Acceptance of one's humanness of weakness and imperfections allows oneself to break down the wall of denial and ultimately leads to recovery.
At the Charter Oak Recovery Center each person is seen as a unique individual with special needs and unique life curcumstances. The all private room program follows the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) and 12 Step philosophy. Our residential treatment center for adult men and women is designed for those who may have been recently discharged from an inpatient setting or needing a more structured environment than an outpatient setting can provide.
