Sage Prairie

Our Philosophy

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Our philosophy at Sage Prairie is adapted from the Substance Use and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) working definition of recovery.

Sage Prairie offers individualized pathways to recovery from disorders related to substance use and mental health. To accomplish this, we assist each individual to undergo a process of change through which each patient is given the tools and resources to improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential.

SAMHSA has delineated four major dimensions that support a life in recovery.

HEALTH

 

SAMHSA Dimension
Overcoming or managing one’s disease(s) or symptoms—for example, abstaining from use of alcohol, illicit drugs, and non-prescribed medications if one has an addiction problem— and for everyone in recovery, making informed, healthy choices that support physical and emotional wellbeing.
 
How Sage Prairie Serves the Patient
Sage Prairie offers access to evidence based treatment models encompassing physical and mental health.  In addition, behavioral therapies and tools are taught to enable individuals to a make healthy and informed choices around their own health after completion and in long term recovery.
