The Core Elements
When young men live an unbalanced life, they often lose touch of the people and things that can guide them toward healing. Catalyst uses six core elements to assess and implement treatment. The core elements continuum allows our treatment team to truly customize an approach that is tailored for each individual student.
Family – We believe that family growth is crucial to long-lasting change. We are committed to providing each family with support and therapy services to assist in bringing about this change.
Body – Chances are addiction has eroded your son’s sense of physical competence. Catalyst’s emphasis on balanced nutrition, proper sleep habits, and intense exercise will combine to help your son reach his physical potential.
Mind – A refined mental ability allows a young man to challenge his thinking errors, evaluate life decisions, and seek truth. At Catalyst your son will participate in an individualized and flexible academic setting that allows him to improve deficiencies and further develop his mental talents.
Heart – Substance abuse and addiction often result in emotional isolation. As your son heals he will find ways to accept and appreciate his emotional experience.
Soul – Catalyst will encourage your son to expand his view of the world and experience his place in a larger sphere. We offer experiences that help our boys explore spiritual well-springs that are consistent with family values. Each boy’s spiritual connection will play a key role in his recovery.
Friends – Catalyst is a relationship-based program. The healthy bonds your son creates with peers and staff will be among the most influential means of bringing about lasting change. A central part of treatment will also focus on helping your son develop positive future relations with friends and community.
