Treatment Treatment during the residency program addresses the psychological issues for which the woman religious is in treatment and the behavioral changes that need to be made for health. Several times each day, the woman religious will meet with others in groups that utilize different therapeutic modalities to work through these issues and to practice new behaviors. Personal Freedom and Responsibility The Residency Program of Saint Luke Institute challenges each woman religious to take responsibility for her own recovery and healing. Accepting this responsibility requires that she be accountable to her peers and therapists for the steps she is taking for her recovery, and that she call others to that same accountability. Mental health requires some leisure time.
