Key Takeaways: 

• Transitional housing provides a structured step-down environment that helps individuals move safely from residential care into independent living.

• A long-term phased recovery model combining detox, residential care, outpatient treatment, and sober living creates the consistency needed for relapse prevention.

• Life skills development, peer accountability, financial responsibility, family involvement, and 12-step connection build the foundation for lasting recovery success.

How It Works

Our program is structured into three phases, each designed to address our client’s specific treatment needs effectively.

Throughout all stages of treatment, our dedicated clinical and medical staff closely monitor each individual’s progress and well-being. This vigilant oversight allows tailored adjustments, ensuring the treatment meets every client’s unique requirement. 

We motivate clients to be actively involved in their treatment journey, which encompasses participation in their 12-step recovery process at every stage of the program. 

Detox & Residential

The admission process requires 24/7 medical oversight from Nurse Practitioners (NPs) and Registered Nurses (RNs). This team reviews each client’s detoxification and assesses future health needs. 

Once stabilized, clients participate in group and individual therapy with assigned therapists, benefiting from 56 hours of clinical services weekly.

We provide clinical support and a holistic environment with a private chef who prepares nutritious meals. On-site washers and dryers meet laundry needs.

Each evening, we host recovery groups to help clients build healthy relationships in long-term recovery.
