Treatment Phases & Descriptions

Phase I: Assessment and Orientation is a minimum of 4 weeks long. During this phase, clients complete orientation and any other assessments needed to develop their treatment plan. Clients stay at the residential facility 24 hours, 7 days a week during this phase. Clients are drug tested on a random basis.

Phase II: Stabilization and Rehabilitation is usually minimum of 12 weeks in length. During this phase, residents work their treatment plans bundled with a wide range of services including individual, group, family, and trauma therapy. Services are delivered through didactic approaches such as psycho-education, addictions treatment, relapse prevention, group therapy and coping strategies. Cognitive therapy and motivational interviewing are integrated with a 12-step based recovery program. Our therapeutic community incorporates vocational training, educational/GED training, life skills, cognitive behavioral interventions and community service work. Each resident performs community service work while in the residential program. During this phase, residents are slowly integrated into the community by attending outside support meetings of AA/NA/CA. Residents receive no less than 2 random drug screens per month during this phase.

Phase III: Re-Entry and Employment is usually a minimum of 12 weeks in length. During this phase, the residents develop an initial aftercare plan with the counselor, begin employment or vocational training and maintain educational pursuits. Pass time is earned to begin the integration process back into the community. Drug screens during this phase are very important for accountability.

Aftercare: Transition is usually a minimum of 6 months. Upon successful completion of the three-phase program residents are graduated to aftercare. Gradutaes are placed in transitional housing away from the facility and may return to Outpatient Programs for group therapy, individual therapy, and drug testing.
