90 Day Residential Treatment Program

Residential 90-Day Treatment Program—Our residential alcoholism and drug addiction program is designed in three distinct phases of treatment for clients who are in need of a long term solution. The 90 day residential program includes family coaching to maximize an individual’s potential for a successful treatment and recovery from addiction. We highly recommend an additional three months of Transitional Recovery Coaching.

  • Phase I- Our treatment program for recovery from alcoholism or addiction targets a healthy balance of the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual self. In the first phase we introduce clients to the process of self-discovery, focusing on the internalization of foundational recovery principles. Through personalized daily recovery coaching, education, counseling and experiential feedback, clients develop the self-awareness and cognitive self-management skills that support a balanced recovery. The result is that clients choose to establish a healthy foundation for their ongoing personal recovery process; a positive recovery attitude, a healthy recovery routine and excellent recovery habits.
  • Phase II – Recovery and a healthy Life; family, social, career, financial. In the second phase we introduce clients to the process of Life-discovery with continued daily emphasis on Self-management skills, foundational recovery concepts and active participation in the recovery process. With the aid of coaches and support team, clients expand their focus to include the development of healthy relationships, clarity of life direction and connection to purposeful living. Clients begin active preparation for the next relevant step in their personal recovery process, as it relates to the transition back into life.
  • Phase III – In the third phase, clients begin to experientially integrate the recovery process with the responsibilities of everyday life. Having clarified purposeful direction, clients prepare resumes; begin job search, or considering higher education. Clients actively participate in the creation of a transitional plan which includes an organized support structure designed to maintain all aspects of their recovery program; continued personal growth, school, work, and family. For those clients that are not ready to transition to their home environment, additional extended care support options will be made available.
