Our rehabilitation services are divided according to clients’ needs into three groups:
It is central to our view that, during their rehabilitation, clients see the possibility of acting differently. For many substance-addicted people, the use of intoxicants has become an automatic reaction to different life situations. In their programmes, rehabilitation services that develop resources for life management focus on improving the client’s life management skills and modes of behaviour during the rehabilitation period. The clients understand that they choose the way they act themselves and carry the responsibility for their choices. When clients who are already in rehabilitation are given the opportunity to make their own choices, they learn to develop and evaluate life management skills. Through the resources they receive from rehabilitation, clients develop into subjects that supervise their own rehabilitation and their own lives.
These rehabilitation services offer rehabilitation with the aid of three different rehabilitation periods; Basic Period, Rehabilitation Period Based on Group Working and Rehabilitation Period Based on Work Activity.
A person’s identity is an individual’s experience of her/himself and of her/his self in relation to others. Before their rehabilitation period, clients have been in a setting that has encouraged substance abuse and which has also affected the determination of identity. Rehabilitation services aimed at restoring identity emphasise in their rehabilitation programmes the fact that people have numerous opportunities to define themselves, in other words to form a view on who they are. Together with the clients, the rehabilitation programmes examine identity as well as ways of living related to identity. This assessment gives clients the resources necessary to rebuild their own way of thinking and acting. For clients to be able to build their identity, they must have sufficient support in doing so. Clients must experience that they are significant and important. In a rehabilitative community, clients are always in a relationship with the other members of the community and through this they receive feedback on their actions. Tervalampi Manor’s philosophy supports clients to believe in themselves and to understand that in the community they do not need to earn human value; it automatically exists in everyone. When people begin to believe in themselves and their own resources they are empowered. This encourages clients to build their own lives to support a substance-free existence. Empowered people have discovered their own resources. They are then the subject that guides their own lives.
These rehabilitation services encompass Women's Rehabilitation and Drug Rehabilitation.
Substance addiction can be viewed as an addiction contingent upon the rest of life. Routines and obsessions connected with substance abuse prevent people from thinking and acting in a sensible way. The result is that people are unable to confront life on its own terms. For this reason, people find it impossible to grow personally, to manage their everyday lives or to engage with their own lives. As a consequence, everyday life often becomes unmanageable and unpredictable. Rehabilitation services that develop skills for everyday life focus in their rehabilitation programmes on stopping clients’ everyday life so they can consider and assess their situation. Clients’ everyday life both requires and facilitates different ways of acting. It is important to identify those significant factors that clients set for their own life and to consider whether their own life situation supports the right kind of actions. The significance of everyday life for clients’ own actions does not depend only on what it is like in itself, but also on how the clients interpret how it will be like in their image of real life. Visualising one’s own life and its requirements also provides an opportunity to assess one’s own modes of behaviour. Based on this, clients are able to set for themselves goals and needs for change that in turn give rise to motivation and empowerment. Clients’ everyday lives always change and develop as a result of the clients’ own actions. The purpose of rehabilitation programmes is to support clients’ skills so that their everyday lives become a support to their substance-free existence.
These rehabilitation services encompass Family Rehabilitation and the Rehabilitative Accommodation Service.
