ADMISSION / INTAKE:
All prospective residents will be interviewed to establish their level of readiness for this treatment modality.

Orientation Phase (Up to 10 days)
During this initial phase, the client will be oriented to the rules and regulations of the house. Data is collected from the client, as well as external sources to develop the biopsychosocial profile and to facilitate the formulation of an initial treatment plan.

Level 1 (30 days)
This phase of clinical treatment builds upon the continuing development of the biopsychosocial profile, and addresses the emotional, spiritual and behavioral needs of the individual. Clients are encouraged to identify and express emotions, develop positive attitudes and participate in 12 step programs.

Level II (30 - 60 days)
The treatment plan is changed and modified throughout the treatment process. During this phase, emphasis is placed on the development of a concrete and realistic aftercare plan. Contact with an appropriate outpatient program is initiated, and a linkage with community resources is formed to facilitate the transition from re-entry to discharge.

Level III (30 - 90 days)
During the final phase of treatment, emphasis is placed on the client's ability to make appropriate and responsible decisions, while increasing exposure to the community. Clients at this level will be enrolled in an educational or job training program, or will be gainfully employed. Individuals will learn to budget their income, and to save money, which will enable them to live independently. Attention focuses on the successful integration of the values of a drug-free lifestyle as the client prepares for the discharge process.
