We Are A Place to Turn

Southside Behavioral Lifestyle Enrichment Center (SBLEC) is here to serve all men and women, aged 18 and older, who seek to overcome the use of any type of drug or alcohol. We welcome all of those who desire to live in a drug-free lifestyle. No matter what walk of life a client is from, we believe his journey to recovery can start here.

Program Philosophy

SBLEC is based on the belief that recovery from any type of drug abuse and addiction is possible through the use of a well-integrated combination of therapies and services. We believe addiction is a chronic, progressive, primary illness affecting the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of the individual and family. Therefore, we treat drug abuse and addiction in a holistic and individual manner, managing it through education, therapy, structure and support.

Phases of Treatment

We endeavor to match client needs to treatment, wherein the intensity of medical, counseling and rehabilitative services provided varies depending upon the client’s length of sobriety, skills acquired, and goals met. We offer five phases of treatment: Stabilization, Early Recovery, Active Recovery, Maintenance or Transition, and Aftercare.

The Southside Tradition

SBLEC adheres to the National Institute of Drug Abuse’s (NIDA) principles of effective treatment:
* Individualized treatment
* Effective treatment attends to the multiple needs of the individual, not just his/her drug use
* Provides psychotropic medications as appropriate, to work in combination with counseling and other behavioral therapies
* Individuals with coexisting mental disorders are treated in an integrated way
* Regular monitoring of sobriety
* Provides assessment and counseling for Hepatitis B and C, & other infectious diseases
* Our program allows for multiple episodes of treatment since recovery can often be a long-term and nonlinear process.
