per week counseling for a period of eight
to twelve weeks. Additionally these

a 30-90 day program and is geared for
clients 18 years of age and older who have
a primary mental health disorder and
secondary addiction issues. The
program provides a highly supportive
environment, utilizing cognitive behavior
therapy techniques, which promote the
clients responsibility for his/her
behavior. Another goal of the

| Residential
Track |
| The
Residential Track is an intensive, highly
structured program that focuses on
chemical dependency issues. This
program uses a structured methodology to
promote the concept of total life change.
Clients stay in this program from 30-90
days and learn to accept responsibility by
living and working together. In
doing so, clients decrease the probability
of non-productive behaviors such as
substance abuse. This program aids
clients in recovery by helping them cope
with emotional, social and life problems
without drug use. Individual and
group therapy helps clients deal with
psychological issues such as codependency,
stress, physical and mental abuse,
thinking process and affective disorders.
In addition, an effective community
support network facilitates the client's
reintroduction into the community.
This support system is created so that the
person can maintain an effective and
independent, drug free lifestyle. |

| Halfway
House Track |
| The
Halfway House Track is similar to the
other residential components, but
productive work is emphasized even more in

clients to use the tools gained from
treatment out in the larger community
while still in the safety of a treatment
program. The goal of the
program is to increase the client's
adaptive coping skills and the ability to
take control over his/her life through
cognitive behavioral treatment model and

manner. Clients attend Alcoholics
and Narcotics Anonymous meetings, support
groups and are also provide with

varies by referral source. |

which allows and provides a secure and healthy
environment for pregnant and postpartum
women seeking freedom from their chemical
addictions and allows women to bring their

treatment with them. This program is
