Treatment Schedule
The treatment schedule at Caron Renaissance is busy, intense, well-coordinated, and yet it also leaves time for reflection, recreation, and personal growth. The general flow of the schedule is from more intensive treatment activities to more intensive work and community activities, thus preparing the patient to return to the "real world" as a productive contributor, well representing their family.
Another vital aspect of care is peer therapy. Caron Renaissance is carefully structured to foster healthy peer interaction and, as needed, challenge addictive behavior and thinking. This "non-enabling" approach assumes that a healthy peer group will help a group member identify self-destructive behavior in an atmosphere of support and caring. Patients meet regularly in community groups and also select their own leaders as part of a self-governing process.

From patients:
"When I arrived at Renaissance, I really didn't want to be in treatment. After a while I decided that I needed to be here. While I continued to stay, more of my needs were met to build a very necessary sober foundation. I made real friends and was able to learn how to listen and become honest with my feelings without medicating them with drugs." John V
"I owe Renaissance my life and my families' life. I came in a very broken woman full of fear and remorse. I am becoming a whole person, full of hope for a sober future for myself, my husband and my daughters." - Anna B.
"The way each patient was treated as an individual, the willingness and dedication of the counselors and staff to go out of their way to help. The whole staff treated me with respect which was different from other places - I never really felt like a patient, just another person with a problem around some people who care enough to help. " James F.
From family members:
"I have gained strategies and a better understanding of productive and destructive ways of interacting with my son" -Barbara S.
"Listening to other families and identifying with their mistakes, seeing myself in them and getting more of a clear picture of my strengths and weakness was very helpful." - William J.
"Attending the Family Program enhanced my self knowledge of family of origin issues and the impact on my son. My belief system was challenged and I was able to relinquish some guilt and responsibility." - Andrea F.
"I have gotten more knowledge about being the father of an addict in the past three days than I have in the past twenty years...because of the excellent work of the staff and the unusual group I attended these last three days." - Les S.
