Greenbrier Academy: Addiction Recovery and Family Programs

At L. Jay Mitchell Greenbrier Academy, we understand that addiction is the fruit of core issues in an individual’s life. The answer is to treat the whole person, mind, body and spirit. By providing a therapeutic environment, positive surroundings, a supportive community, and therapy programs geared toward removing old and negative perceptions while developing new, positive mindsets, our success rate is extremely high.

Greenbrier Academy: Addiction Recovery

When students first begin their stay at Greenbrier Academy, one of the main things they have in common is using outside factors to control their lives. This can come in the form of food, body image, self- harm, illegal substances, or partaking ofin anything excessively.

As part of the therapy developed by our founder, L. Jay Mitchell, we help students understand how they are using these environmental factors and help them discover why they are using them. During our addiction recovery program, students examine and identify the role addiction has played in their lives, how it has affected them and others, while guiding them through the necessary steps to walk in awareness and freedom.

A holistic approach is used to help students overcome substance abuse issues and maintain a healthy lifestyle. This approach is used for students suffering from other disorders as well, such as eating disorders or body image issues.
