First of all, we would like to welcome you to Inspire Center. Congratulations on taking the first step to improve your life. We understand it is not an easy choice and takes a lot of courage to confront addiction and/or substance use disorders. We are empathetic to the challenges you may face during your stay with us. We sincerely hope that we can help you to reach your goals. Please understand that this is only the first step towards making a change in your life. Enduring change may require very difficult lifestyle changes. As part of your rehab experience, we will assist you with identifying areas of your life that you may need to change in order to have long-lasting sobriety. Please realize that a counseling relationship requires the active participation of both the counselor and the client. The more effort you put into your time here, the more likely you will succeed. Please understand the rules of the program have been developed over time and are intended to be therapeutic, as well as maintain harmony at our center. That is, they are not intended as punishment.
