Patients will not have any free time during this period. They will attend 5 three-hour groups and 2 Individual Therapy sessions, with case management services as needed. Additionally, all patients are required to attend 5–6 twelve-step meetings (AA/NA) per week and provide verification of such.
Permanent Residence (Ongoing)
After exiting the Entry Level House, the patient is transitioned into a more permanent residence where they will continue with group and individual therapy sessions, coupled with case management services and twelve-step meetings. Every patient will have ongoing evaluations to determine the number of required groups and counseling sessions, as determined by the Clinical Team.
