About this Facility

Jacob’s Ladder is a long term residential recovery center for young men located in Aurora, West Virginia. They offer a holistic approach that incorporates traditional addiction treatment with wilderness adventure therapy, the arts, meditation, and yoga.

Jacob’s Ladder is a six month residential treatment commitment with progressive stages of increasing autonomy. Each person’s treatment program is individually customized and begins with an assessment. Individual therapy, family therapy, group therapy, and farm chores are a part of daily life at Jacob’s Ladder.

Upon arrival, a biopsychosocial assessment that includes chemical, psychological, nutritional, and medical wellbeing is conducted. Once complete, a personalized addiction treatment plan is created. Daily life includes chores on the farm, along with participation in therapy and meetings. Group meetings include topics such as learning healthy boundaries, assertive communication, sexuality, shame, guilt, grief and loss, and spirituality. Mindfulness and yoga are introduced as healthy coping strategies that can be utilized upon graduation.

Regular 12 Step meetings are held during the residential stay. The 12 Step program is an industry standard recovery model based on Alcoholics Anonymous. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a plan for recovery based in a Higher Power. Middle steps include self examination and making amends to those who’ve been hurt by the addiction. The final steps are to live a life of continued recovery while helping others do the same. Sister groups to AA include Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) Gamblers Anonymous (GA), and more.

Group therapy is the process of undergoing therapy within a group setting where interaction between participants provides additional benefit and healing. At Jacob’s Ladder, group therapy topics are based on the review of each participant’s case. The findings help create helpful topics for each session.

Jacob’s Ladder provides a family therapy program to help educate families on addiction and to help heal unhealthy family dynamics.

Treatment

Alcoholism

When a person struggles with alcoholism, they have become dependent on alcohol and require treatment to overcome the addiction. Alcohol rehab in West Virginia teaches you new coping skills and helps you process emotional issues related to drinking. Medications may also be provided to help control the alcohol addiction and maintain sobriety.

Drug Addiction

Drug addiction causes psychological and physical damage through repeated and uncontrollable use of substances. Drug rehab in West Virginia focuses on providing a full continuum of care, from detox to aftercare, and treatment can take place in outpatient or inpatient settings, based on your needs.

Substance Abuse

In West Virginia, individuals seeking substance abuse treatment can access comprehensive rehab programs. Through a combination of individualized treatment planning and evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), you’ll receive the treatment you need to overcome addiction and maintain your recovery. You can also expect individual and group therapy, skills training, and personalized care to give you all the support you need to maintain your recovery after treatment.

Level of Care

Outpatient

Outpatient rehabs support clients’ long-term recovery through a robust continuum of care aligned with clients’ evolving needs. Many programs feature transitional services for clients stepping down from intensive inpatient care. Ambulatory medical detox is also available in some outpatient facilities for clients at low risk for withdrawal complications. Outpatient treatment centers typically encompass multiple levels of care, including partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), supportive housing, and standard outpatient programming.

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

12-Step

Participants in 12 step programs receive ongoing peer support while cultivating recovery-focused life skills. They engage in frequent, sometimes daily, 12 step meetings, which are anonymous, free, peer-led, and available day and night in most communities. Self-selected sponsors offer one-on-one mentoring throughout the recovery journey. This model invokes spiritual principles to encourage self-awareness, forgiveness, accountability, and acceptance in persons pursuing recovery. Specialized formatting is common, including programs for teens, seniors, and family members.

24-Hour Clinical Care

At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

The Jacob's Ladder community shares a passion for music and art. There are valuable lessons, therapeutic outcomes, and opportunities for life long, healthy activities to emerge from a complementary music and arts program for substance abuse program. The Jacob's Ladder studios include music instruments and production equipment, as well as painting and art studios where their guests will explore known and unknown talents. Under direction of their Music and Art Coordinator, structured and facilitated lessons will relate their studio experience to a life of enlightened recovery.

Their residents come to us having lived dramatic and addicted lives. They have often abandoned activities which they once enjoyed; sports, outdoors, relationships, hobbies, etc. The word “fun” is synonymous with using drugs and alcohol, as they have attended to little else for some time. Here at Jacob’s Ladder, they have learned that including wilderness adventure therapy into their holistic addiction treatment program assists young men with overall recovery and becoming an active participant in the community. In early sobriety life seems lackluster and the thought of not using forever seems boring, daunting and maybe impossible. In addition to letting go of the need for chemicals we are also asking our guests to let go of dramatic living, compulsive behaviors, codependent relationships (which are often dramatic and exhilarating) and many other maladaptive ways of living. This is the mission of the Jacob's Ladder wilderness therapy program. It is to “recover” that which was lost in addiction.

Jacob’s Ladder believes that their residents deserve a family that is educated about the disease that will be managed as part of a lifelong recovery. It is an important element in an overall recovery program that is often overlooked by other programs. Jacob’s Ladder implements a family therapy program to educate families on addiction, and more importantly to facilitate family counseling necessary for establishing appropriate relationships for family connection in the future.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Our residents have weekly focused mentoring sessions with their primary counselor. Clinical therapies will be recommended after initial assessments and arranged as necessary. Counseling sessions will be individually customized and will address the current needs of the individual based on self-progress and also will take Jacob's Ladder's staff assessments under consideration.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.
