Step Two...

The Moment | Believed
Not in lightning.
Not in thunder.
But in the quiet shift — the way a stone warms in sun even after long shadow.
I said yes without knowing the way.
I reached,
and something reached back.
Hope did not demand.
It waited.
And when I turned toward it, it was already there — softly singing
in the silence I had feared.

Thirty years of hope, healing, and lasting recovery. As an alumnus and employee, Charles Dean was an integral part of Pavillon's care. He embodied "here for you, for life" in a way no one else could. In memory Charles, Pavillon has dedicated a room in the Alumni House in his honor. Charles had a passion for travel and foreign lands. That passion is reflected in the furnishings of the room including a world map, animal print pillows and giraffe side table. Charles will remain forever in our hearts and this room will serve as a reminder of all he meant to the staff and alumni of Pavillon. If you are interested in staying in the Charles Dean room, please reach out to Dina at dinaf@pavillon.org

Thank you to everyone who checked in on Pavillon following the recent ice storm. We’re grateful to share that our campus remained safe, and our patients and staff stayed warm and well cared for throughout the weather event.

Once safety needs were secured, our team remained focused on what matters most; ensuring that the important work of recovery continued without interruption. We are continually inspired by the dedication of our staff and the commitment of our patients, even in challenging circumstances.

Business Development team member Amber Brown recently visited and had the opportunity to tour their campus and learn more about their services, including their new detox facility. As Amber shared, “Getting to see the expansive space at Carolina Center for Recovery and hearing about their new detox facility was a beautiful sight to see. The mission of their program is inspiring and inviting.”

We appreciate the opportunity to connect with Marketing Director and value ongoing professional dialogue across the continuum of care. At Pavillon, we remain focused on helping individuals and families access appropriate treatment options based on clinical need, insurance coverage, and available resources.

T+F=Bx...

All mental disorders have signs and symptoms that show that that person is in an active disorder. The only way you can diagnose a disorder is through these indicators. And the symptoms that present themselves and suggest that a person is in an active mental disorder are behaviors. You can't X-ray for Bipolar, draw blood for PTSD or take tissue samples for schizophrenia. Behaviors, that's the only way. And the only way you can tell if any intervention, pharmacological or behavioral, for that disorder is working is by observing behaviors. Improved and more healthier behaviors reflect that they are.

Alcoholism/addiction are mental disorders. Therefore, in keeping with the medical model, it is only though a person's behaviors can you determine if a person is in that mental disorder.

Inappropriate and destructive behaviors- active alcoholism/addiction. Healthier and productive behaviors- recovery. Relapses start in the mind, and it is the thinking that drives behaviors. Here is the formula: T+F=Bx. The thinking (T) will create a feeling (F) and that feeling will prompt certain behaviors (Bx). Here is the rule: The definition of relapse is a return to old behaviors, so you better be paying attention to what is going on in the mind. Addictive thinking will always lead to addictive behaviors if left unchecked.

Our program recognizes this and has safeguards against it. The 10th Step is an evening exercise that reviews that day's behaviors and if any of the old ways start to show up, you catch it and turn it around before it becomes a full-bore relapse. The morning 11th Step is an emotional and spiritual preparation for the day and an awareness of what you may need, emotionally and spiritually to take on that day. These two steps demand an application of the Honesty and Integrity you gained from Steps 1 and 5. Don't get sucker punched. Be smart, stay one step ahead of the disease that wants you to fail.

Business Development team member Amber Brown recently had the opportunity to visit HopeWay with Emily Zuyus and Lindsay Stuart, and shared this reflection: “HopeWay’s program is one of the most encouraging, moving, and truly compelling facilities I have visited.”

Pavillon is grateful to have maintained a close and collaborative relationship with HopeWay for many years. As a fellow nonprofit organization, HopeWay exemplifies a thoughtful, whole-person approach to healing. Their drum circle offering is a powerful example of how creative and experiential therapies can support emotional regulation, connection, and recovery.

We also deeply respect HopeWay’s specialized programming for veterans and first responders, and the intentional care they provide to populations with complex mental health needs.

Strong mental health–focused programs are essential partners in the continuum of care. Together, we work to help individuals transition successfully after residential substance use disorder treatment and find the most appropriate next steps to support lasting recovery.
