Six Areas of Service

The Pastoral Services Department at Caron supports spirituality as a vital component of the holistic approach to treatment provided across the Caron continuum of care.  The 12-Step philosophy is the common basis on which our spiritual offerings are grounded.  Caron patients come from diverse spiritual and religious backgrounds.  Experts in a variety of traditions bring years of clinical pastoral experience to bear in diverse group and individual settings on and off the Caron campus.  Such integrated spiritual care allows the recovering person to regain their dignity and form creative, life-giving, intimate relationships with self, others, the universe and a Higher Power.

Pastoral Services are especially significant at Caron in relation to the six areas of service:

1. Faith and Spirituality, including the 12-Steps
2. Grief and Loss
3. Guilt and Shame
4. Anxiety and Tension
5. Relationships
6. Patient Secrets

Case managers work with the pastoral staff and other departments to customize spiritual care as an integrated aspect of the patient's treatment plan.  Patients are frequently encouraged to undertake spiritual tasks as part of treatment, including attendance at Caron's Sunday chapel service, meditation, journaling exercises, spiritual consultations, step work, and other experiential techniques.
