Facility and Meals
Residential treatment is provided in a cozy, homelike environment that can accommodate up to 16 clients in a dorm style setting. The bedrooms are furnished with bunk beds, and the bathrooms are shared. Common areas in the house include the living room with a TV, kitchen, dining room and backyard space which includes the workout area with weights. There is also a
small basketball court for clients.
Every meal is included during treatment and is comprised of fresh, local ingredients that are prepared on-site.
Treatment Protocol and Team
Treatment is based on a four-phase system that begins with orientation, which is typically the detox stage. In total, clients can stay upwards of six months, and though this initial phase does offer Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) to help with the unpleasantness of the detox process, typically clients aren’t provided with a continuing schedule of drug replacement medication. However, clients with existing co-occurring disorders are offered psychiatric medication management.

The residential stage is designed to last around four months and offers a regularly scheduled program of group and individual therapy. Therapy employs evidence-based methods, psychoeducation and an emphasis on the 12 steps. Generally clients have two to three group sessions per day that focuses on relapse prevention, life and coping skills training and improving communication skills. Daily AA or NA meetings are also included in the schedule.
Usually clients are required to complete some written assignments and journaling. During the third stage, which lasts about two months, clients have a bit more freedom to leave the facility. Therapy focuses on learning to recognize and identify relapse triggers and continuing on with what they’ve been learning in treatment and applying it to everyday life.
The final phase of treatment is aftercare, which consists of weekly group sessions for up to six months. It’s also strongly emphasized that clients have a continuing support system in place with a steady sponsor.
The staff of Keep It Simple Services is a combination of medical doctors, CADCs and psychiatrists, all of whom have many years and experience working in the field of addiction.
Bonus Amenities
Though treatment is usually provided in Cebuano, programs can also be offered in English and Tagalog.
Summary
For some, getting out of familiar surroundings and immersing themselves in a completely new environment while getting treatment for addiction is the best choice they can make. Not to mention, the treatment programs offered through Keep It Simple Services are affordable, highly structured and offer long term aftercare support. It’s an ideal setting for someone who wants luxury level treatment in an exotic locale, at a much lower cost.
