The Recovery Center offers a continuum of Residential Services
that provide a safe, stable support network during the recovery process.
Initial placement is based upon individualized needs. The Halfway House,
SMART Community Supportive Living, and the Shelter-Plus-Care programs offer
residential options that allow each resident to gradually become
self-sufficient.
Our Halfway House is a thirty-bed residential program with
individualized length of stay, generally from three to six months. Discrete
units and gender specific programming for both Men (21-beds) and Women (9-beds); simultaneous
enrollment in either our Day Rehabilitation Program or Outpatient Clinic;
personal growth skills of daily living, community competency; counseling;
self-help involvement; health services; vocational-educational training program
for clients.
The SMART Community (Sober Men Achieving Recovery Together) is
a seven-bed supportive living facility for men. Length of stay is
generally one year or longer. Clients in the SMART Community have their
own bedrooms yet function as a 'family', with regularly scheduled House Meetings
and Communal Meals/Activities, allowing a strong sober support network to
develop. Emphasis on continued recovery and relapse prevention, vocational
and employment issues, and enhancing sober/independent living skills.
The Shelter-Plus-Care Program is supported by a Federal HUD
grant to lease thirty apartments and assist recovering alcohol and drug dependent
individuals to achieve and sustain independent living. Partially
subsidized rent and Case Management services assist residents to gradually
become self-sufficient with the goal of continued abstinence, enhanced
employment opportunities, and eventually, establishing permanent housing that is
affordable.
