WHAT MAKES ENTERPRISE NEW LIFE A UNIQUE EXTENDED CARE FACILITY FOR MEN?
|
Enterprise New Life is New England's premier post rehab extended-care facility for men who are recovering from the disease of alcoholism or drug addiction. Located in Litchfield County, Connecticut this comfortable 6 bed facility is housed in a beautiful, newly updated 1830's Greek revival mansion, in one of New England's most picturesque villages. ENL's level of comfort and HIGH STAFF-TO-GUEST RATIO is rare in addiction recovery extended care.
With two licensed addiction trained psychotherapists on staff we have developed an original approach to extended care treatment that combines traditional, as well as non-traditional, therapeutic services with gracious style and sophistication. ENL's location and atmosphere is conducive to healing, as well as a smooth transition from a rehab program back to a new and improved life.

Our philosophy towards post-rehab recovery is based on the 12 step modality of Alcoholics Anonymous, combined with therapeutic offerings, structure and accountability. Because of our small size we are able to INDIVIDUALIZE EACH GUEST'S TREATMENT PLAN to include not only daily group therapy and individual counseling but to also offer more non-traditional therapies such as: EMDR, Periferal Biofeedback, Neurofeedback, Life Mapping and Hypnotherapy. These therapies, as well as others available, combined with mandatory daily outside 12 step meetings are all part of our balanced treatment plan. Visit our Therapy Programs page to learn more about the various therapies offered at ENL.

Our guests have chosen to continue their hard work towards sobriety and peace of mind in an extended care program with an extremely sophisticated and welcoming facility. We know that it is important to concentrate on getting well and STAYING WELL, and make that possible by providing an atmosphere that differs substantially from the stereotypical approach at other sober living facilities. Each guest will enjoy the safe environment of a beautifully appointed home with private chef and housekeeping, in a small welcoming New England village, without having to deal with the additional pressure of having to find temporary employment or volunteer work. This will enable him to more fully concentrate on his recovery and the cultivation of a sober, well balanced lifestyle.

At Enterprise New Life we know that it is important for our guests to concentrate on their sobriety with all of its contingent issues, rather than have to worry about doing chores such as making beds, cleaning bathrooms, shopping, preparing meals etc. Our guests will soon be returning to their new and improved sober lifestyle, and for that purpose these chores are not part of the ENL methodology. FOR THIS REASON THE FOCUS AT ENL IS ON OUR GROUP BEHAVIORAL PROGRAMS AND CUSTOMIZED INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT, which we feel address the important emotional and behavioral obstacles to long-term sobriety. Our well-developed extended care program, combined with a healthy, active, and stress free lifestyle, will ensure a strong foundation for the future. |
