The first and most important truth the Jude Thaddeus Program teaches the guest that there is no disease of addiction and they are not powerless over their behaviors. The St. Jude Retreats are the original creators of the non disease, non 12 step model. Excessive drug and alcohol use is a habitual behavior problem and a choice. People may feel powerless while using drugs but this is due to habitual thinking and behaviors; and like all behaviors and feelings; each person has the power to change them.

The Jude Thaddeus Program focuses on accountability, choices, and behaviors which empowers our guests and builds hope. When a individual realizes that it is their choices and behaviors that have gotten them to this point, the good news becomes that they can change their predicament and lives and build a plan (goals) to move toward a better and brighter future. The best news is that life and your future are not out of your control. Although we cannot control certain things that happen in our lives we can ultimately control how we react to negative situations.
