A Unique Drug Rehab Program and Alcohol Treatment Program
 Tekuma Recovery Group evaluates alcohol addiction treatment and drug addiction treatment needs for people dependent upon drugs and/or alcohol, and recommends a unique drug rehab program and alcohol treatment program. Tekuma selects appropriate applicants to participate in a unique Israeli Therapeutic Community, where the drug and alcohol treatment approach is one based on mutual self-help with members of the community acting as one another's "brother's and sister's keepers," and staff acting as role models and rational authorities.
The Tekuma recovery process occurs in Israel. Nevertheless, the program is not a traditional Jewish drug rehab program. Tekuma believes that there is a little bit of Israel in everyone. Therefore, Tekuma welcomes members of all faiths, ethnicities, and color. We believe rebirth is a universal process without paraochial limitations of any kind.
In the Therapeutic Community, a caring surrogate family is formed that provides a corrective developmental experience and a mirror through which each participant can raise his or her self-awareness as the community gives continuous feedback. The focus in a Therapeutic Community based drug rehab program is on helping individuals to "get in touch" with their feelings and address common anti-social personality characteristics and drug-seeking behaviors. In contrast to the medical or traditional residential drug and alcohol treatment models, participants in a Therapeutic Community based drug rehab treatment program take full responsibility for their addictive behavior. They 'do' treatment rather than passively receive treatment. Positive peer pressure places the onus on the individual to change his or her behavior. Engaging in interpersonal relationships with positive role models replaces the more dependent patient-therapist relationship model.
Tekuma is a Hebrew word that generally means resistance, recovery, revival and resurrection. After the European Holocaust in which six million Jews lost their lives, the word took on special meaning with miraculous rebirth of the State of Israel. |
 Residential Drug Rehab Treatment and Alcohol Treatment
The Israeli Therapeutic Community is a residential drug rehab treatment and alcohol treatment approach designed for addicts and alcoholics who have failed previous recovery and alcohol treatment programs because the all too familiar people, places and things have undermined their best efforts to achieve lasting sobriety. Psychiatric and medical consultants to the Therapeutic Community give special attention to identifying and treating accompanying psychiatric and medical disorders ("dual diagnosis") that may have prevented addict from maintaining sobriety. |
