New Bulletin Boards

 

Be sure to check out the new and improved bulletin boards in the large Group Room!!  The Women’s Resource board has lots of great information about services available including free tutoring for children and adults in reading. The Anger and Depression and Methadone and Addiction boards have pamphlets you can take with you to read and share with your family and friends. These boards are there for your benefit so use them!

 

 

TAKING RESPONSIBILITY

Everyone wants to be in control and most of us want to control EVERYTHING. However, it is when we realize that we are not in control that we can make changes in our lives. What does control have to do with taking responsibility? The responsibility I am speaking of is responsibility for yourself. When we take responsibility for ourselves, we are able to admit that we made a mistake, we lied, we relapsed, we did something that we knew was not good for us, etc. When we are unable to do this we blame other people or circumstances for our problems and we fool ourselves into thinking that we still have control. See the problem?

Step one of the twelve step program states that we admit to ourselves

that our lives have become unmanageable..... this does not happen when we

are still trying to convince ourselves that we are in control. LET IT GO!!!!!

One of the easiest ways to start this process is to make an agreement that we will no longer tell lies to ourselves, to our family, to our counselors, to our friends, to ANYONE!!!!!! Don't worry about the consequences. These consequences will be much less painful than the consequences you have experienced when you lied to someone. You will be amazed how free you will begin to feel once you have been able to do this. All of your relationships will be improved if you can stop this cycle.

Good Luck, Gloria Branton

 

FOR ALL CLIENTS !

If you call to ask for a dose change to increase or decrease your dose, you need to allow some time for this order to be reviewed and approved by the medical staff.  Please don’t call late in the afternoon and expect the changes to be in effect the next morning.  A nurse must enter the orders after Dr. Camp has approved the changes. Sometimes this can take 24-48 hours or more, if over the weekend.  Please be patient!

 

IMPORTANT DATES

CARF (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) will be in the clinic on Monday and Tuesday February 16 and 17. Inspectors will be in the building talking with clients and staff, looking at charts and making sure Walker Recovery is meeting federal standards for Methadone treatment.

Feel free to use the sanitizer in the dosing and front office lobby.
