Illumination Recovery is an outpatient addiction treatment provider in Great Falls, Montana. It was set up on the view that too many people are pushed through treatment quickly without being given the understanding and tools that long-term sobriety actually requires, and it offers daily group contact alongside one-to-one counseling.
Counseling and Daily Recovery Groups
Individual counseling is delivered by licensed addiction counselors and focuses both on what a person is contending with day to day and on what sits underneath the addiction. Recovery groups run twice a day, led by experienced practitioners, which gives clients far more frequent contact than a weekly session and a chance to build a dependable social circle around their recovery. Counseling for other difficulties, including trauma and relationship problems, is available from a counselor on the team, and couples can be seen as well as individuals.
Case Management and the Practical Side
Case management is treated as part of treatment rather than an afterthought. Staff connect clients with health care, housing, and help with money and food, on the understanding that someone struggling to keep a roof overhead or food on the table will struggle to hold on to sobriety. The center also keeps a therapy dog on the team, a small detail that says something about the atmosphere it aims for.
