Many clients placed back into their old environments are ill-equipped to resist the temptations of drugs, alcohol, and crime. But research indicates that with long term treatment, a solid aftercare program, and a good support system, recidivism rates drop dramatically. All clients in our residential treatment program are required to go through a work re- entry program. Our program provides clients the opportunity to establish healthy work habits before leaving treatment. When capable, our clients financially support themselves, pay for residential, living, and transportation needs.
Clients leave our facility with a steady job and money in the bank.
For those who cannot work, we help establish volunteer opportunities to boost their self-esteem and help them contribute to the community. We have developed many relationships with other social service agencies that can help support the clients' ongoing recovery once they have left treatment. We are also developing a unique mentoring program for our clients that will add another layer of support, as well as direct involvement with the community. It is essential that recovering addicts feel supported in sobriety and that they feel connected to the larger community. Fundraising Activities for 2000 To help maintain a visible connection to the community that we serve, we will be offering a series of fundraising events this year.
