How can I pay for treatment?​

​

Finding funding may seem difficult but we can help you through the process. We have outlined a number of funding options.​

​

​​

What happens when I first arrive?​

​

Our staff will help you feel safe and comfortable during your treatment stay.​​

Is there a blackout period?​

 

There is a mandatory three-day blackout period for those in drug & alcohol treatment programs. There is a mandatory seven day blackout period for those in community reentry centers.​

Can my family visit me while I'm in treatment?​

Yes! Family visits are welcome and encouraged. Visiting days/hours vary by facility; you will be given visiting information upon admission.

 

What is a halfway house?   

 

Halfway Houses combine clinical services and a recovery residence. They are supportive living environments that provide at least 5 hours of treatment per week. This level of care helps people maintain sobriety, learn responsibilities and skills to live independently, and establish employment.

What else can I look forward to besides counseling?​

 

Clients have many opportunities to engage in other activities that will help them grow and learn.  You will be participating in various interests such as art and music therapy, environmental group, gardening, cooking classes, hiking and day to day life skills.  Clients can also participate in sports such as softball, kickball and basketball.  In addition, clients have the opportunity to complete and earn a ServSafe certificate and take CPR/First Aid training – both can give you an advantage when seeking employment.

 

Is transportation provided?​

 

We will pick you up for inpatient and halfway house treatment and provide a ride home upon discharge.  We will also take you to any medical appointments, meetings, or therapeutic activities while in treatment.  Clients that are residing in the halfway houses will have rides to and from work however, many jobs are walkable, bikeable, or on a regular bus route.

 

Will you assist me in finding a job?​

 

If you are in one of our inpatient facilities, our Life Skills staff will assist you with obtaining your ID, resume’ creation, online applications, interview practice, and job retention skills. CPR/First Aid and ServSafe instruction is also available.  

 

If you are a client residing in one of our Halfway House facilities we will help you focus on resume’ creation, filling out job applications, interviewing as well as maintaining employment (handling conflict, anger, triggers) in a supportive sober setting.  Clients typically work 24 hours per week while residing in a licensed Halfway House so that they may continue to concentrate on their recovery while still in a treatment setting.
