12-15 month Life Care Program
For Adults
12-15 Month Residential Drug and Alcohol Addiction Program
This faith-based residential program assists individuals in recovering from drug and alcohol addiction and the life-controlling problems associated with it. In addition, residents work on overcoming rebellion and the self-destructive behaviors associated with their substance abuse and developing positive life skills. Residents participate in spiritual growth activities, individual counseling, and choir.
Work Study
Through our adult work-study program, residents have the opportunity to develop a strong work ethic while learning new skills and the importance of teamwork and a good attitude. Work study consists of tasks such as administrative tasks, kitchen clean-up, laundry, janitorial duties, simple maintenance projects and other group chores. These activities help residents understand personal responsibility for their own living space and the importance of serving others.
Recreation Activities
Recreational activities both on and off MnTC property are provided to residents during their leisure time. Activities vary depending on the season. They may include visits to sporting events, plays, zoos, city and state parks, and a variety of other events. To help residents stay healthy and physically fit, MnTC provides a recreation room equipped with exercise and weight lifting equipment and a variety of other games (pool, ping pong, foosball, volleyball).
Program Structure
This drug and alcohol addiction recovery program consists of four levels, all focusing on spiritual and emotional wholeness. Each level has a distinct focus to encourage the resident's growth.
Level One (10 weeks)- Recovery
Residents begin their program with courses designed to provide them with basic information regarding chemical addiction and recovery. They attend classes that promote life recovery in the areas of: chemical dependency, anger management, personal relationships, family dynamics, depression, self-acceptance, and maintaining a chemical-free lifestyle.
Level Two (16 weeks)- Renewal
Residents work on their specific personal and family issues, behavior modification and identification of the issues that led to their addiction. The focus of Level 2 is to build a solid foundation in the renewal of their minds and bodies.
Level Three (12 weeks)- Restoration and Healing
Residents learn how to deal with the pain and emotional anguish associated with their current and past issues. They attend group process classes designed to assist in the healing of damaged emotions as they confront the issues that have left them emotionally scarred. Some of the topics covered include: low self-esteem, depression, anger, forgiveness and perfectionism.
Level Four (12 weeks)- Re-entry
Residents focus on transitioning back into their local community. They receive classroom instruction in three critical areas: relationship issues, employment skills and financial management, as well as the development of an after care plan.
