Anton Proksch Institute Mission Statement
People are at the heart of all we do
Our work at the Anton Proksch Institute is based on the motto "
Putting People First". This principle is expressed in our
seven point mission statement.
-
Positive change is always possible in life. But it takes joy, desire and enjoyment - ingredients that life offers us every day. To help patients discover the beauty of life again, our addiction treatment places a very strong emphasis on participating in life actively and pleasurably: Orpheus Programme.
-
We focus on the strengths and positive factors in life.
-
We thus embrace a view of humanity that strictly rejects discrimination and puts a self-determined and joyful life at the heart of our efforts.
-
We treat one another with respect, esteem and regard for human dignity. In a supportive environment there is room for personal responsibility and voluntary action. We always act in accordance with the principles of acceptance, partiality and gender sensitivity.
-
Addiction is an illness that has many causes and cannot be reduced to a single triggering factor. Addiction is an illness that can be treated successfully - Our methods are state of the art.
-
The common therapeutic goal of our differentiated treatment strategies includes both models of harm reduction and abstinence-based treatment.
-
We attach great value to collaboration between the different groups of professionals involved in treatment and a holistic view of the human being. This is the only way that personal development defined as the adoption of a healthy lifestyle can promote rehabilitation.
