treatment concept as military discipline

                             
​                                    OUR PHILOSOPHY
Horizon has established a treatment modality that is implemented in an environment of RIGOROUS MILITARY DISCIPLINE. This new therapeutic approach arises to discover that there was a social and behavioral component in other drug treatment models ignored. We found that, before a young mind gets sick with drugs; he would “sicken" his behavior. And one "disease" would lead to another.

We found an excellent replacement for the one that is exerted on the streets.
Military Discipline is directed to the development of a mature, responsible, honest and stable personality. Military discipline not only changes the way our young people manage their affairs; It also changes the way they "think".

It was then that we took on the task of investigating how peer pressure exerted by their friends could change the ethical, moral and religious concepts of youth to eventually take them to a drug dependency.
​Once we identified the factors that promoted the involvement of youth in criminal behavior and drug use, and having studied the mechanics of peer pressure to which they are constantly subjected, we understood that military discipline was an excellent vehicle for implementing directed pressure group that exists in the military environment.

​beneficiTS OF MILITARY DISCIPLINE

---

                  FORMALITY
The participant learns to follow protocols to perform tasks and address others. As a result, an atmosphere of seriousness and commitment is created, maintaining a therapeutic environment that promotes the assimilation of treatment.
​

                      COURTESY 
accepted social rules developed in participants are practiced, to form diplomacy and new habits and customs.
​

               RESPONSIBILITY
It requires commitment, so excuses for dereliction of duty are not allowed. In fact, for each PARTICIPANT, functions and duties that are required to comply diligently are assigned.

---

             DIGNITY AND WORT
They will get ranks and leadership positions within the group, participants will develop a spirit of healthy competition and feelings of worth. It also strengthens their self-esteem. To be treated with respect and difference is the reward for their submission to the rules and commitment to treatment. 

                    TEAMWORK
The therapeutic community is divided into platoons. When one platoon stands, the whole squad looks good. Teamwork has the benefit of the participants to help one another, correct and help each other.
​

                        RESPECT
At Horizon, respect is represented by their military instructors and other administrative staff.
​We have noticed that young people need an authority figure to direct them and challenge them at the same time, make them feel that they are cared for and protected.
