Phase I: Foundational Change

This initial phase is about recognizing the impact of substance abuse on your life and relationships.

  • Projected Length: 8 weeks
  • Minimum Sessions: 16 (individual and/or group)
  • Key Focus: Using modalities like Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you see the deficiencies in your life caused by substance use.
  • Progressing to Phase II: You'll need to complete the minimum sessions, provide at least 8 drug screens (with the last 4 showing abstinence or harm reduction), and show progress in counseling.

Phase II: Building New Skills

Building on your new self-awareness, this phase focuses on developing positive alternatives to old behaviors.

  • Projected Length: 8 weeks
  • Minimum Sessions: 8 (individual and/or group)
  • Key Focus: Developing and implementing pro-social alternatives to the maladaptive thoughts and behaviors associated with substance abuse. We help you find practical, realistic, and achievable alternatives.
  • Progressing to Phase III: You must maintain sobriety, verified by 8 drug screens showing abstinence or harm reduction.

Phase III: Transitioning to Independence

This phase is about transitioning from active clinical participation to maintaining sobriety with the support of aftercare resources.

  • Projected Length: 8 weeks
  • Minimum Sessions: 4 (individual and/or group)
  • Key Focus: Learning to independently identify and manage "triggers" using the coping strategies developed in previous phases. We help you recognize that the changes you've made are working.
  • Progressing to Phase IV: You must maintain sobriety, verified by a minimum of 4 drug screens showing abstinence or harm reduction.

Phase IV: Aftercare and Relapse Prevention

In the final phase, you will work with your clinician to create a personalized aftercare and relapse prevention plan.

  • Projected Length: 8 weeks
  • Minimum Sessions: 2 (individual and/or group)
  • Key Focus: Building a plan based on your strengths and the support resources you've developed. This plan will guide you after you complete the program.
  • Successful Completion: You must complete your treatment goals and be abstinent at the time of discharge.
