“ALMOST 21 MILLION AMERICANS HAVE AN ADDICTION, YET ONLY
10% OF THEM RECIEVE TREATMENT” -NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON DRUG ABUSE
01 Douglas Blanchard, L. A. (2020, November 3). What is addiction? CentraCare. Retrieved April 28, 2022, from https://www.centracare.com/blog/2020/november/what-is-addiction-/#:~:text=Addiction%20statistics,died%20from%20a%20drug%20overdose.
The number of times that people attend counseling averages out to one time.(Interview with Jon Webb.) They come, but they never return. This statistic is something that should be taken into consideration, and we have to force ourselves to ask the question why this is the case. In order to get away from the standard institutionalized building that consists of redundant/ cold spaces that leave the patient feeling insignificant and unfulfilled, this intensive outpatient substance disorder rehabilitation center uses a variety of techniques that aim to empathize with the patient. The facility uses a variety of key concepts such as the use of courtyards, connectivity, openness and therapeutic variation that help promote the cultivation of a new lifestyle and habits that the patient and their loved ones can practice outside of the facility.

COURTYARDS:
POSITIVE/NEGATIVE SPACE:
CONNECTIVITY:
As a society, we suffer from nature deficit disorder.1 Studies have shown that spending mindful time outdoors can reduce stress levels and strengthen your immune system.
People have better health results when attention can be placed on a postive space vs. a negative unnactivated space. 5
The programs are oriented in a way that promotes connectivity through both physical connections (shared walls) and or visually connectivity (shared courtyards)
Putting down the electronics and spending intentional time in a courtyard’s privacy, and allowing yourself to get lost in your surroundings can help you reach a greater sense of calm.2
(Areas for activation can include hallways/ nooks where no typical activation occurs besides circulation.) Facades can also be included within this concept, with a vartiey of patterns and textures to break up monotany.
Louv, Richard, Last Child in the Woods, (Chapel : Alonquin, Zrod) Heather Ohlyetal, “Attention Restoration Thery: A Systematic Review of the Attention Restoration Potential of Exposure to Natural Environments”, Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, 19, 7 (2016), 305-343 1 2
This connectivity allows for patients to see others into other programs and feel connected while being reminded that they are not alone in their process to recovery.
5 Buetow SA. Something in nothing: negative space in the clinician-patient relationship. Ann Fam Med. 2009;7(1):80-83. doi:10.1370/afm.914
OPENNESS:
THERAPEUTIC VARIATION:
Having an open facility environment allows for maximum light penetration which can have positive impacts on mental health and mood. 4
To increase comfortability and promote participation with patients there is a variety of personalized programs to accommodate the many interests of the patients.
Additionally, the openness of the facility allows for programmatic adaptation as the facility changes.
Some of the spaces included support excercise, music, cooking, and spaces for pet interactions.
CONSTRUCTED NATURAL LANDSCAPES: Throughout the facility and within each courtyard is a different constructed landscape and experience. Each landscape aims to provide the patients with different areas of relaxation for their choosing. The spaces vary on size, level of privacy, along with physical characteristics (Water features, shading devices, plants, etc.)
Adamsson, Mathias, Thurbjorn Laike, and Takeshi Murita “Seasonal Variation in Bright Daylight Exposure, Mood and Behaviour Among a Group of Office Workers in Sweden”, Journal of Circadian Rythyms”,16,2 (2018) 4
PROGRAMMATIC CONCEPTS 07
Through research that has been conducted, the above are a series of programmatic concepts to be incorporated into the substance recovery facility. Each concept can be applied to help promote the designated patients mental health, as well as break redundant ideologies about what substance use recovery needs to entail. Through these concepts, the building will architecturally and programmatically become a place that supports healthy habits and life changes to make life outside of rehabilitation long lasting and successful.

PROFESSOR JON R. WEBB, PH.D ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR ADRS PROGRAM DIRECTOR THE FOCUS OF DR. WEBB’S RESEARCH IS ON THE ASSOCIATION OF SPIRITUALITY WITH HEALTH. MOST OF HIS WORK TO DATE IS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE ASSOCIATION OF MULTIDIMENSIONAL FORGIVENESS WITH ADDICTION AND RECOVERY. ALTHOUGH MUCH OF HIS WORK IS APPLIED, HE IS ALSO INVOLVED IN THEORY AND MEASURE DEVELOPMENT. Through learning about substance-use disorder, we contacted Jon Webb, an expert in the field to give insight to our project. As we interviewed him, we discussed a wide array of components that are involved in a rehabilitation facility, the importance of the involvement and care for family members, and the idea that recovery is a change in lifestyle with a high importance to provide programming that allows for new habits to form. The following questions are only a portion of the assistance that Jon Webb guided us toward that had a heavy impact on the project programmatic determination. Interview: Wednesday February 09th, 2022; 2PM
QUESTION: HOW OFTEN DO VISITORS COME TO THE FACILITY? -FAMILY AND COMPANIONS WILL BE VISITING ONCE OR TWICE PER WEEK TO HELP THE PATIENT IN THEIR TREATMENT PROCESS. -A FAMILY THERAPIST CAN BE INCLUDED TO HELP THE VISITOR COPE WITH ISSUES INDEPENDENTLY FROM THE PATIENT. “THE AVERAGE TIME THAT PEOPLE ATTEND THERAPY IS ONCE, SO HAVING EVERYTHING MORE INTEGRATED IS KEY.” -FAMILY DYNAMICS NEED TO HEAL FOR THE PATIENT TO HEAL. -A LOT OF TIMES FAMILY ISSUES CAN CONTRIBUTE AND INTENSIFY SUBSTANCE USE HABITS AND A FAMILY THERAPIST HELPS ADDRESS THE PATIENT, BUT ALSO TEACHES THE FAMILY HEALTHY PRACTICES TO IMPROVE HOME LIFE.
QUESTION: WHAT TYPE OF SPACES WOULD BE IDEAL TO HAVE IN A FACILITY FOR SUBSTANCE USE RECOVERY? -CHAPEL (IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE A SPIRITUAL PLACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN GO. THE MORE INTIMATE THE SPACE IS, THE BETTER. THIS IS A SPACE FOR THE PATIENT TO BE REFLECTIVE. -SUPPORT SPACES FOR COLLEGES (DIFFERENT STUDY SPACES, LIBRARY RESOURCES) -INTAKE ROOMS, WHERE THE PATIENT CAN TALK TO A PROFFESSIONAL ABOUT THEIR NEEDS. -THERAPY SPACES FOR FAMILY MEMBERS -MEDICAL FACILITIES TO ASSIST WITH DRUG TESTING AND OTHER EXAM ROOMS. -NUTIRTION SERVICES. THERE ARE MANY INDIVIDUALS WHO ABUSE SUBSTANCES THAT HAVE EXTREMELY POOR NUTRITION HABITS.
INTERVIEW
-IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE PROGRAMMATIC SPACES WHERE THE IDENTIFIED PATIENT CAN DEVELOP NEW HABITS THAT PROMOTE A LIFESTYLE CHANGE.
