The Drug and Alcohol Recovery Program at
Providence requires a commitment of a minimum of 6 months, with longer extensions granted upon request.
The program is divided into three phases:
Orientation - The first few days will involve an intake procedure that
identifies pertinent physical, social and psychological/spiritual
issues. An individual recovery plan will be developed for each
participant that focuses on these areas of concern.
Regeneration - The next six months will involve the participant in
individual and group counseling, classroom teaching, homework, Bible
study, church attendance, Christian 12-step meetings, a work program
and physical activities. These events are designed to address the
physical, social and psychological/spiritual aspects of the
recovering addict.
Discharge & Aftercare - The final days of the program will consist
of scheduling and referring the individual to institutions and
agencies in his home community that will help extend the progress
that the person in recovery has made. Churches, out-patient
treatment centers and community recovery meetings will be provided
to establish a relationship with the participant and help to ensure
an aftercare regime.
It must be emphasized that Providence's Drug and Alcohol Recovery
Program is a faith-based approach that will aid only those who
are willing to change. The individual will receive the tools and
assistance that he needs to begin a new life, but ultimately the
decision to begin a new life resides with him alone. |
