Comunità La Tempesta
ABOUT US
“The psycho-social care in the "La Tempesta" therapeutic community is understood as the reconstruction and re-appropriation of the own difficult history and a possible future that takes it into account. Healing from drug addiction, with a community path psychotherapeutic beside educational experience, means being and becoming yourself.
One necessary premise is to know yourself: starting from how you are today, investigating how you were yesterday and hypothesizing how you could be tomorrow. With intention and necessary effort to plan their own destiny as adults”.
Citaz. Prof. Luigi Cancrini
FOREWORD
Patients who ask to be insert in a therapeutic Community have often lost all hope, they feel overwhelmed by problems that they consider enormous and whose nature and solution they do not know. They need to know that those who care for them know the difficulties they are struggling with, believe in them as human beings, have hope for change and know how to help them escape from the addictive mechanism, which essentially consists of a vicious circle that tends towards the compulsion to repeat the use of substances, to the point of trapping the individual, making him dependent and hopeless.
The request for care is complete because they are people who can only be helped with residential programs considering that they are unable to escape the substances that prevent them from undergoing psychological and rehabilitative therapy. They need the institution that protects them and takes full charge of them and their problems. Taking charge is an assumption of responsibility by mainly: the institution, the team and the therapists. The objectives in this phase include:
• establish a relationship with the patient as part of the context that accompany the therapeutic process;
• supporting the patient in the vicissitudes of the therapeutic path in order to "redeem" him from the "pathological circle" in which he feels trapped;
• promote healthy ego resources, abandoning the autoidentifications with the pathological parental figures or one's own socio family context.
