Recovery Programs

THREE PHASE RECOVERY PROGRAM

PHASE I – 4 Months

Treatment Elements:
• Daily attendance, Monday-Friday, 8:30am-2:30pm
• Individual sessions with case manager once a week
• 90 meetings/90 days or minimum 3-4 AA/NA meetings per week
• Signed attendance slips required for AA/NA meetings
• Sponsor obtained within first 30 days
• Random urine analyses

This is a full-time job and requires a full-time commitment!  During Phase I a member begins to heal from the physical effects of chemical dependency, or Post Acute Withdrawal Symptoms (PAWS), and must learn to recognize and avoid his or her “triggers”.  The twelve steps provide progressive healing, and members work through relational issues individually with a qualified counselor and in group sessions with other members.  Education is also crucial at this stage.  The Matt Talbot Center offers five hours of classes per day, plus daily check-in and in-depth process groups.  Full completion of Phase I is required before part-time employment is an option.

PHASE II – 4 Months

Treatment Elements:
• Weekly attendance (number of days and/or classes to be determined with counselor)
• Individual sessions with case manager once a week
• 3-4 AA/NA meetings per week
• Random urine analyses

In Phase II, a member works with a case manager to individualize his or her program to meet specific recovery needs and to further develop recovery/life skills.  By this time employment, relationships and housing begin to play a larger role in the member’s life.  Members will commence to Phase II.

PHASE III – 4 Months

Treatment Elements:
• Individual sessions with case manager
• Group Attendance 1-2 times a month
• 2-4 AA/NA meetings per week
• Random urine analyses

The need for support continues after Phase II.  Ongoing group sessions are provided where relapse prevention methods, 12-step progression and goal setting are explored at a deeper level.  Individual sessions are available by appointment to members in Phase III on an as needed basis.  Phase III addresses the needs of members as they make the transition to a full life in recovery.
