Phoenix Programs, located in Columbia, Missouri is in the business of helping people change. Its mission is to provide effective treatment for those seeking recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.\n<\/div>\n

Columbia, Mo. –<\/strong> With the month of April recognized as National Alcohol Awareness Month, Phoenix Programs wants to remind anyone who believes they struggle with alcohol to “take a CAB” to support taking that first step in acknowledging a problem and seeking help.<\/span><\/p>\n

CAB, an acronym created by Heather Harlan, a counselor and prevention specialist with Phoenix Programs, stands for cue, allies and baby steps. CAB helps people take those first steps to change.<\/span><\/p>\n

C stands for cue. People need to change what follows a cue, or trigger, to a different behavior. For example, when people get up in the morning, they drink coffee. Getting up in the morning is the cue. Even if it’s a reminder on a mobile phone, people should develop a cue that reminds them to change their behavior.<\/span><\/p>\n

A stands for allies. Talk to people and find those individuals who will be there to support the change. It’s accountability in a positive way. Similar to a “work-out buddy,” when people surround themselves with others who positively reinforce and support the change, then success is much more likely.<\/span><\/p>\n

B stands for baby steps. If people have a hard time getting started on their goal, it might be because the goal is too big. Break it down to a smaller first step. Keep breaking it down if needed to make the first step achievable. Making minor changes can result in bigger achievements for the long term.<\/span><\/p>\n

“When I first heard Heather break down aspects of recovery into more relatable and achievable actions such as CAB, I was inspired to think just how many more people we can help by eliminating some of the barriers of taking a first step in the road to recovery,” said Greg DeLine, board president of Phoenix Programs.<\/span><\/p>\n

For people who may need to take that first step, Phoenix Programs offers certified counselors and a professional team to support individuals through a continuum of research-driven strategies for prevention, treatment and long-term recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n
