Walk in the doors of the CCC Recovery Center and get caught up in the excitement of hope. Clients are motivated to change their lives. Staff is passionate about helping clients meet their potential.

It is an intense process. People new to recovery must turn their energy and determination toward turning their lives around – physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. They get educated about the disease of addiction and the recovery journey– what it will require to move beyond the moment of crisis, undergo treatment, and achieve long-term sobriety.

CCCRC uses a multi-disciplinary approach and evidence based practices – tailoring for each individual a combination of medical care, acupuncture, mental health counseling, peer mentoring, education about the disease - and drug-free housing for best results.

Counselors are highly trained and commited to the treatment process. Pulling all needed resources under one roof, CCCRC staff meets weekly with other providers and agencies to provide a continuum of care.

An integrated approach and dedicated staff are a strong combination for the journey to recovery.

Impact

• In 2007, 57% of those in  treatment who lived in Central City Concern housing successfully completed the  program .
• The National Institute on Drug Abuse states that drug addiction treatment is effective and cost effective. Its recent report conservatively estimates that every $1 invested in addiction treatment services yields a cost savings of $4-7 in reduced drug-related crime, criminal justice costs and theft. When health care is included in the analysis, savings can exceed costs by a ratio of 12 to 1.
• In a 2008 study, post treatment clients reported a 95% reduction in the use of illegal drugs and a 93% reduction in criminal activity.
