What Is a Therapeutic Community?

Question by M L: What is a therapeutic community?

Best answer:

Answer by 9Suns
Therapeutic community is a term applied to a participative, group-based approach to long-term mental illness, personality disorders and drug addiction. The approach is usually residential with the clients and therapists living together, is based on milieu therapy principles and includes group psychotherapy as well as practical activities.

Therapeutic communities have gained some reputation for success in rehabilitation and patient satisfaction in Britain and abroad. In Britain, ‘democratic analytic’ therapeutic communities have tended to specialise in the treatment of moderate to severe personality disorders and complex emotional and interpersonal problems. The evolution of therapeutic communities in the United States has followed a different path with hierarchically arranged communities (or concept houses) specialising in the treatment of drug and alcohol dependence.

Question by carl: Are Christian drug rehab clinics any good?
I’m afraid that they might not be versed in current psychological methods that are proven and may rely on magic, or an ‘outside’ source to do the work.

Best answer:

Answer by Kyle
They will employ all of the typical “scientifically-proven” methods of breaking addictions. They may incorporate God into the process (oh no!), but they’re usually also much cheaper than non-religious drug rehab.
