Our Therapeutic Care Model
Pindari Restoration House is committed to the following practices and benchmarks.
Comprehensive Assessment
Pindari’s trained staff conducts a thorough (ongoing) assessment to understand the individual’s substance use history, co-occurring mental health disorders, physical health, social support systems, and other relevant factors. This assessment is conducted by our consultant psychiatrist, consultant doctors, counsellors, and case workers.
Individualised Treatment Plan
After our initial assessment and observations over the first month of the resident’s program we endeavour to provide personalized treatment approach that considers the individual’s unique circumstances. Pindari seeks to address physical, psychological, social, and emotional aspects of their addiction.
Evidence-Based Interventions
Pindari utilizes evidence-based therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, Dialectical Behaviour therapy (DBT), Acceptance Commitment therapy (ACT), Narrative therapy (NT), Emotion therpay (ET) and other therapeutic modalities deemed appropriate to the needs of the client. Pindari uses these approaches because they have evidence-based effectiveness in treating addiction.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Pindari address co-occurring mental health disorders alongside addiction, as these often contribute to or result from substance abuse. Integrated treatment for both conditions increases the chances of successful recovery.
Holistic Approach
At Pindari we consider the individual’s overall well-being by incorporating holistic practices like mindfulness, meditation, work therapy, spiritual therapy, and exercise. These activities can help manage stress, improve mood, and promote a healthy lifestyle. Spiritual practices play a significant role in the recovery from drug and alcohol addiction by providing individuals with a sense of meaning, purpose, and support. Peer-reviewed studies and research articles have consistently demonstrated the positive impact of spiritual practices on addiction treatment outcomes, including reduced substance use, improved psychological well-being, and enhanced coping mechanisms.
Family Involvement
At the appropriate time Pindari seeks to involve family members, partners, children, and close friends in the treatment process when these people are safe and appropriate relationships to nurture and cultivate to aid in recovery. Family mediation, reconciliation are core parts of our therapy program with a particular focus on repair and restoration of the significant relationships of our clients. Pindari seeks to enhance support systems and improve the chances of sustained recovery for all our participants.
