Recovery Housing Pathways
Intensive Residential Recovery
A one-year intensive residential recovery program providing structured substance abuse services through a social and clinical model of recovery. Services described include medical and behavioral health care coordination, employment linkage, psychosocial skills coaching, physical health and education, nutrition, budgeting, legal case management, spiritual identity formation, cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy elements, life skills training, and other holistic interventions a resident may require to support success. Because the residential setting is not described as a come-and-go-at-will environment, the program may also be relevant in some alternative sentencing, drug court, furlough, or other court-ordered contexts, subject to applicable court or supervision requirements.
Transitional Housing
A six-month transitional housing program for individuals prepared for less structure but who still require accountability through set curfews and random drug testing. The organization describes this track as supporting continued routine, responsibility, and recovery stability while residents move beyond the most intensive level of support.
Graduate / Independent Living
Independent living is described as offering less structure than transitional housing and allowing individuals to reside onsite without a curfew. Residents in this track are still required to submit to random drug testing and participate in recommended services as a condition of residency.
