At Tapestry we recognize that the process of change is highly personal, therefore, we utilize a client centered, motivational approach to treatment. Intermittent ambivalence about change is not seen as pathological, but as an ongoing part of the recovery process that must be addressed. As such, we see our role as supportive as we work with you to maintain your own motivation to continue toward your goals and increase your recovery skills.

We do this through teaching skills, providing support in a natural living environment, and emphasizing self determination and self efficacy. We see both illness and recovery as multi-dimensional; involving the biological, psychological, social and spiritual aspects of an individual's life. As a means of accessing each of these facets of recovery, we rely on the local community as a means of bringing the treatment out of our house and into a more realistic environment. We feel that if the treatment occurs in a more natural environment, it is more likely to be effective in the long term.

Finally, we strongly feel that in order to  be successful in the treatment of any woman, she must engage in the treatment program voluntarily. Every resident at Tapestry is an active part of their own recovery.
