I had a truly positive experience at Arision Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center. From the moment I walked through the doors, I felt supported and understood by a compassionate team of professionals. The staff was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely caring, creating a safe and welcoming environment for recovery. The programs were well-structured, offering a blend of therapy, group sessions, and personal counseling tailored to individual needs. The facility itself was comfortable, with a peaceful atmosphere that allowed for reflection and healing. I left feeling more empowered, with the tools and support necessary for a lasting recovery. Highly recommend Arision for anyone seeking help in their journey to sobriety.

I experienced the most independent empowering that an individual can get from an independent community such as what Arision has to offer what with the tools they allow you for you to build up yourself up for you’re life,for your family and prepare yourself for the world that we we know it. A place that is filled with wicked things, wicked people, wicked drugs, and all those things that come along with life, but if you asked me how could I described Arision? For me to be honest.. there are have been no words yet invented to describe just how great and how awesome it is to be a part of that program to go through that program to be involved with the people affiliated with that program and leave with a new family forever in your heart from being in that program…
family that will stick with you for the rest of your life

The overwhelming grip of addiction is more than a habit; it's a force that consumes every aspect of life, making recovery seem impossible. When I arrived at Arision Treatment Center, I thought sheer willpower would be enough. However, I quickly learned that addiction is far more complex, deeply rooted in both mind and body. The cravings, emotional turbulence, and physical withdrawal were battles I couldn't fight alone.

At Arision, I found more than just treatment; I found a lifeline. The staff recognized the depth of my struggle and offered a comprehensive plan that addressed the physiological, psychological, and emotional facets of addiction. Through personalized therapy and life skills workshops, they helped me regain control over my life.

The environment was supportive and non-judgmental, allowing me to confront my addiction head-on. They didn’t just focus on treating the symptoms but helped me understand the underlying causes of my addiction. This understanding, combined with the confidence they instilled in me, made me believe I could reclaim my life.

Arision gave me the foundation and the necessary tools to see the process that would help me realize my hopes and dreams. Their aftercare support ensured I wasn’t left to face the challenges of sobriety alone. With their help, I’ve not only overcome addiction but also rediscovered my self-worth and purpose.

Arision Treatment Center transformed my life, and for that, I am forever grateful.

A Journey to Sobriety: The Power of CBT and DBT

Coming from the lush landscapes of Hawaii, I was apprehensive about adjusting to the unfamiliar surroundings of Arision. However, the warmth and genuine care exhibited by the staff and owners quickly dispelled my anxieties. Their attentiveness to my needs, coupled with the comprehensive treatment plan, created a nurturing environment that facilitated my journey towards sobriety.

The treatment plan, which incorporated Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), proved to be instrumental in my recovery. CBT equipped me with valuable tools to identify and challenge negative thought patterns, replacing them with more positive and realistic perspectives. DBT, on the other hand, taught me effective strategies to manage emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, and tolerate distress.

Through the application of these therapeutic techniques, I gradually began to see a glimmer of hope where once there was despair. What had seemed like an insurmountable obstacle to sobriety now felt within reach. The newfound skills and insights I gained during my time at Arision empowered me to take control of my life and make positive changes.

Beyond the therapeutic benefits, the support and camaraderie I experienced at Arision were invaluable. The shared experiences of my fellow patients created a sense of community and understanding that made the challenges of recovery feel less daunting. The encouragement and guidance I received from the staff and peers were instrumental in keeping me motivated and focused on my goals.

As I reflect on my journey, I am filled with gratitude for the transformative experience I had at Arision. The comprehensive treatment, combined with the supportive environment, provided me with the tools and resources necessary to achieve sobriety. I am now able to live a life that is filled with meaning, purpose, and joy.

The promises outlined in the Big Book have become a guiding light for me, offering hope and inspiration as I continue to navigate the challenges of recovery. As expressed in the Big Book P.86,

“If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are halfway through. We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness. We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace. No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others”

With the support of my newfound skills and the unwavering belief in myself, I am confident in my ability to maintain sobriety and contribute positively to my family, community, and the world around me.

Conclusion

As I step into this new chapter of my life, I carry with me the lessons and strength I gained at Arision. The journey to sobriety is ongoing, but I am no longer walking it alone or unprepared. The tools of CBT and DBT, the support of a compassionate community, and the wisdom of the Big Book have all become integral parts of my daily life.

Every day, I remind myself of the progress I’ve made and the resilience I’ve discovered within. I am committed to continuing this path, not just for myself, but for those who may look to my story for inspiration. Sobriety has given me a new lease on life, filled with opportunities to grow, connect, and thrive.

In moments of doubt, I revisit the words that have guided me: “We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace.” These words are no longer just promises; they are my reality. With each step forward, I embrace the freedom and happiness that come with living a sober life.

My journey is a testament to the power of perseverance, the importance of seeking help, and the incredible impact of a supportive environment. As I continue to navigate the challenges of recovery, I do so with a heart full of gratitude and a spirit ready to embrace whatever comes next.

Arision treatment in woodland hills is where I would want my family member or friend to be when they are the most fragile, sick, and in need of help. The clinical staff is amazing and truly treats each person individually to help them succeed in long term sobriety and the owners are very involved and always available. Also, the different residence homes that the clients live in during treatment are very homey, comfortable, and clean. It can be really overwhelming and scary to try and find the right treatment, this treatment center has my complete confidence.
