Residents work to overcome self-destructive patterns associated with their substance abuse while developing positive life skills.

Program Structure

For adults this program is 13+ months.  The long-term program is divided into four levels, each of which is designed to build on the foundation of the previous level.

Program Structure

Level 1- Recognition of destructive and habitual thoughts that lead to substance abuse.

Level 2- Focus on healing the wounds of past failures and broken relationships.

Level 3- Character development and spiritual growth with a discovery process identifying personal strengths and setting individual goals.
