The F.A.R.M. Recovery Center adopts an ECLECTIC psycho-spiritual approach in the treatment and rehabilitation of its patients. Among other components that F.A.R.M. Modality is derived from are: the Hazelden’s Minnesota Model; Therapeutic Community; Multi-Disciplinary Models; and the Matrix Model.
Interventions using the principles of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT); Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT); and Motivational Interviewing (MI) are likewise used as tools in developing clients’ coping skills and increasing mindfulness and awareness in recovery.
Program Components
The Hazelden’s Minnesota Model (NA/AA) Model. Adopts the Principles of 12 Steps as a Program of recovery for the clients as a spiritual means of overcoming addiction. Its self-discovery component is deemed to be important in rebuilding self-esteem. It also advocates belief and faith in God to guide and strengthen the client as he/she embarks towards a new way of life.
The Therapeutic Community Model provides a remedial environment where clients are assisted to help themselves with emphasis on the HERE AND NOW situation. This model teaches the client to respond to a group process as training in attaining a kind of awareness necessary for a drug-free life through peer pressure, confrontation and group encounter.
The Multi-disciplinary Model allows the F.AR.M. Treatment Team of professionals to guide the clients into recovery from addiction using scientific method from different behavioral fields. The Matrix Model The Matrix Model provides a framework for engaging stimulant (e.g., methamphetamine and cocaine) abusers in treatment and helping them achieve abstinence. Patients learn about issues critical to addiction and relapse, receive direction and support from a trained therapist, and become familiar with self-help programs. Patients are monitored for drug use through urine testing. The Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is employed at F.A.R.M. Recovery Center as a short-term, structured psychotherapy that focuses on the client's present. In this model of therapy, F.A.R.M clinicians and the client work as a team to identify the client's dysfunctional and distorted thoughts and beliefs, and both challenge and modify those thoughts and attitudes. Using this model, the client is taught on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. During CBT, the F.A.R.M. clinician will identify and challenge a client's negative thought patterns. The clinician also helps the client understand the impact those thoughts have on his/her behavior and feelings. By doing this, the clinician and the client will be able to come up with alternative thoughts that lead to more positive feelings and behaviors. The Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) model is used at the F.A.R.M. Recovery Center as another short-term form of psychotherapy that helps our Client identify self-defeating thoughts and feelings, challenge the rationality of those feelings, and replace them with healthier, more productive beliefs. REBT focuses mostly on the present time to help clients understand how unhealthy thoughts and beliefs create emotional distress which, in turn, leads to unhealthy actions and behaviors that interfere with current life goals. The goal is to help clients identify and understand the negative thinking and action patterns, and teach them to change and replace such patterns with more positive and productive behavior, allowing them to develop more successful personal and professional relationships. Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a counseling approach adopted by F.A.R.M. Clinicians to help motivate clients to adopt change. Its directive, client-centered counseling approach for eliciting behavior change by helping clients to explore and resolve ambivalence is deemed important and consistent with the F.A.R.M. culture of empathy.
