What to expect

Developing your care plan

• Collaborative treatment planning: Licensed clinical staff collaborate with clients to create written treatment plans based on assessment findings. Client strengths, needs, abilities, and preferences are also considered, and plans are reviewed approximately every 30 days.
• Relapse prevention planning: Licensed staff start working with residents at admission to identify triggers, warning signs, and coping strategies and determine preferred interventions.

Who you will meet with

• Licensed addiction counselors: Licensed addiction counselors meet with clients once a week for individual sessions and lead therapeutic groups. If needed, clients can request additional sessions with their counselor.
• Direct care staff: Staff members provide oversight, including in the evenings, overnight, and on weekends.
• Alumni mentors: Alumni mentors return to the program to offer support, share their recovery experiences, and participate in group activities.

Typical schedule

• Daily schedules: From 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., clients leave the facility to work, participate in vocational activities, or attend approved recovery and educational activities. At 5:30 p.m., clients attend a mandatory house meeting followed by a mandatory group supper at 6 p.m. Group counseling and recovery-related activities take place from 6:30 to 9 p.m., and phase groups, life-story groups, recreation, and community living activities take place from 9 p.m. until midnight.
