Program

The Cirque Lodge program is based on the Alcoholics Anonymous traditional twelve-step program. The treatment incorporates "experiential therapy", including activities such as hiking, fishing, rafting, art therapy and equine therapy.[4][5] Cirque Lodge is providing multilingual treatment as part of their rehabilitation.[6] Spanish patients are partially serviced in their own language in an effort to make addiction rehabilitation access easy to everyone, as stated in what are considered good practices, in addiction treatment. The program includes both group and individual psychotherapy.[3] As of August 2007, the 30-day treatment costs an average of US$30,000.[3] While celebrities are known to frequent the lodge, it also hosts less high-profile and affluent patients and has offered scholarships to patients who could not afford treatment.[7] Cirque Lodge is providing multilingual treatment as part of their rehabilitation.[8] Spanish patients are serviced in their own language in an effort to make addiction rehabilitation of easy access to everyone.
