• Tailored care: Care plans can include integrated treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions. MAT is also available when clinically appropriate.

Who you will meet with

• Therapists: Therapists are the primary providers. They meet with clients at least once a week and collaborate with them to figure out their goals and care plans. They lead both individual counseling and group therapy sessions.
• Peer support staff members: Peer support is a meaningful part of the program. Staff members with lived experience contribute to the recovery community and offer an additional source of support.

After they have been there a week, they receive two 10-minute calls every week. As for family visitation, one in-person visit is allowed during the client’s stay, which consists of one hour of family therapy and one hour of visitation.

Aftercare

• Step-down care: When clients are ready to step down from residential care, options include IOP, PHP, or sober living. Ongoing care includes relapse prevention education and mental health treatment. It is meant to help clients maintain stability and independence.
• Recovery plan: Residents work with counselors on various practical aspects of recovery, like creating a plan. The focus is on maintaining peer relationships, building employment and financial stability, and having somewhere structured to continue recovery after residential treatment.
• Alumni support: After transitioning out of the program, alumni can return for ongoing support in the form of monthly shared meals and speakers. These can include outdoor gatherings around a bonfire.
