At Harmony, patients and families begin the path to getting well, learn new tools for living well, and establish lifelong connections for staying well.

HARMONY CLINICIANS RECOGNISE EACH PATIENT AS AN INDIVIDUAL WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR LIFELONG RECOVERY FROM THE DISEASE OF ADDICTION

Addiction to alcohol and other drugs is a disease and like many diseases, a simple and easy answer does not exist. Addiction must be treated and then managed for a lifetime. At Harmony, an interdisciplinary team of skilled clinicians work with each patient to ensure that we address all aspects of addiction and co-occurring disorders that affect the body, mind and spirit.

WHAT IS ADDICTION?
For more than 50 years, the American Medical Association has recognised addiction to alcohol and other drugs as a chronic disease. Characterised by compulsive drug seeking and abuse and by long-lasting chemical changes in the brain, addiction is the same, whether the drug is amphetamines, cocaine, heroin, marijuana, nicotine, or a prescription medication.
Continued use of the addictive substance causes changes in the brain that lead to tolerance, physical dependence, uncontrollable craving and, all too often, relapse.
