Treatment Programs

Against All Odds is a collaborative between The Recovery Center, Our Place and Fairhaven Place to create a residential like treatment regimen for homeless men and women, develop a sense of community for participants to assist each other to be supportive peer resources for recovery, and, to the extent possible, to move homeless individuals who have substance abuse and/or mental health issues into stable employment and permanent housing.  Our Place provides a sober environment for day shelter, on–site intensive counseling and other supportive therapies and group activities, and peer supported case management services.  Fairhaven Place provides shelter and food and helps assure weekend activities that support recovery with the help of the faith based community.  

Adult Drug Court targets individuals in Municipal Court who have an identified drug and/or alcohol problem, a history of treatment rejection or failure, and are currently in violation of the terms of their probation. They may be subject to revocation and be facing significant jail time.  The drug court program includes assessment, individual and group counseling sessions, 12–Step or other community support groups, and random drug testing.  Offenders must attend status hearings with a judge to account for their progress in treatment.  Participants also address vocational issues and related barriers to sobriety to achieve full time meaningful employment unless individual circumstances are prohibitive, and must meet all goals and objectives to the satisfaction of the drug court to be successfully discharged from the program.  

Family Drug Court provides parents struggling with addiction the motivation and support that will allow them to become responsible parents and contributing citizens to the community and promote the safe and timely reunification of families, abstinence from alcohol and other drugs and the development of the skills necessary to secure basic family needs.  Parents who are party to an active child protection case in Juvenile Court are eligible to receive drug court services when substance abuse is a factor in the abuse or neglect of their children.    Participants must attend status hearings with a judge to account for their progress in treatment.  The drug court program includes assessment, individual and group counseling sessions, 12–Step or other community support groups, and random drug testing.  Parents are required to comply with the Children’s Services case plan and all treatment recommendations.   They must achieve six months of continuous sobriety, demonstrate functional parenting skills, and address the demands of employment, housing, and education.  An approved aftercare plan must be in place and the family must be reunified in order to graduate from the program.  

Enhanced Detoxification addresses the detoxification and maintenance needs of adults who are opioid dependent and require inpatient or outpatient detoxification, maintenance on Suboxone, and supportive clinical therapy. Suboxone suppresses both withdrawal and cravings and blocks the euphoric effect of other ingested opiates. This allows opiate addicts to focus on treatment and recovery instead of drug seeking activities to avoid withdrawal symptoms.  The Recovery Center contracts with a residential detoxification facility to medically stabilize clients, partially detox them to therapeutic levels of Suboxone, and discharge them to a trained physician for maintenance.  This manages the withdrawal symptoms for opiate addiction and allows individuals to remain in the community to participate in treatment.  Participants must agree to random drug testing to participate in the program.  

Women’s Assistance Program initiates, coordinates and manages treatment services for women and female adolescents This population  includes  any woman or adolescent who is pregnant, postpartum, of child–bearing age and women with dependent children who have been identified as needing alcohol and/or drug and/or mental health treatment, including counseling for codependency, involved in one or more of  these systems.  

The Women’s Program is designed to address the specific problems related to four different populations of women often involved across multiple health and human service delivery systems. These populations include : 1) victims of domestic violence, 2) welfare dependent women unable to obtain gainful employment, 3) women at risk of losing custody of their children and 4) female adolescents involved in the juvenile justice system. Services include gender specific drug and alcohol education, substance abuse and codependency treatment and aftercare services.

In addition to diagnostic assessment, individual counseling and case management services, the following group counseling services are also provided for women at The Recovery Center:

Women’s Treatment Group is a two–hour group which provides a safe environment for women who are willing to examine their substance use issues. The goal of the program is to increase the client’s awareness of the consequences of continued substance use and to focus on women specific issues such as alcoholism in the family,  domestic abuse and violence, women in recovery and the interactions between codependency and addiction.  

Women’s Dual Diagnosis Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is conducted for three hours each day, three days a week for a minimum of six weeks.  The program is an alternative to residential treatment for intensive clients who are at high risk for relapse, have a mental health diagnosis, lack the social and personal skills to maintain recovery and need a high level of structure and stability in order to remain abstinent.  Length of stay is dependent on progress made in achieving individualized treatment goals.  The primary goal is to stabilize addiction and reinforce the commitment to stay clean and sober.  The program provides education on, support for and intervention in thoughts, feeling and behaviors associated with substance abuse and mental health issues.  Clients are required to attend 12 Step support groups while in treatment.
