A Day in the Life of Treatment

While in treatment here, residents’ days begin at 6:45 am and end at 11:00 pm., and they attend daily lectures and will be given assignments to complete based on the lectures.

Evidence shows that individuals with the disease of addiction benefit most from group treatment. Accordingly, residents attend daily small groups and focus groups (such as Grief and Loss Group). 

Once a week residents will have an hour-long session with their primary counselor. 

Exercise and recreation times are built into our program and are scheduled daily.  In addition to indoor activities, such as yoga, recreation time will be held outside, weather permitting.

Each resident is expected to perform a daily work assignment that consists of custodial functions.
