Mission Statement
YOUR FUTURE IS TODAY

COURT APPROVED AND RECOGNIZED

OUR Philosophy

At Anger Consultants we believe that addiction is a loss of control of oneself

to a substance, person, or process, as evidenced by physical, mental, and

spiritual unmanageability. We believe that alcoholism, chemical dependency

and compulsive addictive behaviors are chronic, progressive and treatable

diseases. We believe that the dynamics common to alcohol and drug addiction

can extend to other compulsive addictive behaviors including eating disorders,

compulsive gambling, sexual addiction, and others. The pathway to recovery

is founded on the achievement of two primary goals: Movement towards a

change in lifestyle.

1. Abstinence from alcohol and drugs and other compulsive addictive

behaviors

2. Movement towards a change in lifestyle

Mission

To assist individuals in recognizing and managing their emotions,

particularly their anger. We are here to teach acceptable ways of

expressing emotion. Anger Consultants teaches different techniques

for stress management and enhancing emotional intelligence. We

devote lessons on how to improve communication so that you may

become better listeners, as well as communicators. Our purpose is

to help you prevent angry situations in which you tend to "lose control."

The Mission of Anger Consultants to provide treatment and education to

the chemically dependent person, those with other compulsive addictive

behaviors, their families and significant others.

Treatment is provided through Residential Care, Family and Aftercare

Programs.

The goals of this treatment are to:

1. Assist each client in achieving abstinence and recovery from all

mood-altering drugs and / or compulsive addictive behaviors.

2. Educate and treat each client on the disease of addiction and/

or compulsive addictive behaviors within a safe, confidential,

and medically supervised therapeutic milieu.

3. Assist each client in improving the quality of his or her relation-

ships, careers, social, emotional physical and spiritual well being.

4. Assist family members and significant others in understanding

the disease of addiction and / or compulsive addictive behaviors

and the steps necessary to achieve ongoing recovery.

Our intensive outpatient program in conjunction with our

sober living facility, provides a stable, loving and caring

environment. Our clients are able to obtain the goal of

long term recovery. We believe in personally guiding each

and every client through each and every step in becoming

clean and sober. We also acknowledge and will strive to

help the client work on resolving any underlying core

issues, which may include anxiety, depression, bi-polar

disorder, etc. In that attempt, we will provide traditional

addiction treatment for adults and their families with an

emphasis on maintaining long-term recovery through

innovative methodologies and individualized treatment

planning.

At Anger Consultants Counseling Center, we understand

that high quality recovery services should not and cannot

be available only for the rich and famous. At many facilities,

the cost of treatment approaches that of a major surgery.

To that end, A Better Tomorrow will strive to maintain the

most cost effective yet comprehensive and successful

program possible in order to meet the needs of every income

strata.

Anger Consultants Counseling Center also realizes that those

who are battling addictions use up a disproportionate amount

of resources. They miss more working days and they are often

less productive than fellow workers. They place more claims

against workers compensation, unemployment, health and

life insurance benefits. Their addictions result in more

automobile accidents, emergency room visits, and 911-

emergency calls. Their actions exacerbate the problems of

overcrowded court dockets, probation systems, Parole

System, jails, prisons and juvenile detainment facilities.
