About Us

Along with education, group process and counseling, our social model approach to recovery emphasizes the principles of AA’s twelve step program; “More people are clean and sober today as a result of AA’s twelve step program than all other treatment methods combined” (Kessler 1997).

Our group focus and peer oriented approach to recovery quickly help our clients (who we refer to as residents) to get grounded in recovery through the fellowship and camaraderie established in a social model, home-like setting.

We offer a continuum of residential, non-medical recovery services staffed 24 hours a day in a safe, drug and alcohol free, home-like setting. First we offer a 5 to 7 day social model Detox Program (medical detox referrals are available if necessary).

Those who are a minimum of 72 hours clean and sober may be admitted to our 30-day Primary Recovery Program. This is a highly structured curriculum of education, group process and one on one counseling. While clients learn about the aspects and progression of the disease of addiction, emphasis is placed on relapse prevention by learning to recognize triggers to relapse, developing new coping skills and alternative behavior.

Upon completion of the Primary Program, residents may remain in our Support Program (maximum 60 days). In this phase residents are allowed to return to work or begin job search. Required attendance to groups and classes are available evenings and weekends.

We believe that the longer one remains in a structured, drug and alcohol free environment with the support of staff and peers, the better their chances of maintaining long term recovery. the goal of this phase of our program is to insure a smooth transition, making sure that employment and suitable housing arrangements are in place prior to discharge.

Group Sober Living is available by referral upon completion of our program. Here residents benefit from affordable housing in a supportive, drug and alcohol free, recovery oriented environment (maximum one year stay).
