Our 90 day program is designed
to aid chemically dependent persons who require more time and structure to develop
the skills and resources necessary to maintain recovery. A full treatment schedule
consists of daily group therapy, individual counseling, family consults, lectures
and workshops, and relapse prevention.
Clients attend Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous meeting daily and are given
the opportunity to begin practicing 12 step recovery & working through the stumbling
blocks of early recovery while still in a structured counseling environment.
Relapse Prevention Track
Relapse Prevention Track is a 2 week, 8 module workshop based on Gorski's
Relapse Prevention Module where the client will learn about:
Post Acute Withdrawal
Symptoms
Warning Signs
Support Group
By the end of the session, the client will know what their warning signs,
triggers and other negative influences are and how to prevent relapse from
happening. All 90 days clients attend Relapse Prevention Program.
Individual Counseling
Individual Counseling sessions are mandatory at least one time a week.
However, should the counselor conclude the need, additional session will be
scheduled.
Group Therapy
These groups are held by the clients' individual counselor 4 times
weekly. Average small group consists of 8 members. The smaller the size of
these groups promotes an atmosphere of closeness, a higher trust level and
encourages more risk taking. It also allows for peer input.
Family Support and Involvement
Family members are encouraged to meet with loved ones and their counselor during their stay at Colonial House.
Family Education Workshops
Family members are strongly encouraged to attend the Colonial
House Family Program. Topics include: addiction, anger, family roles, relapse
process, home contracts and codependency. There are counselors on duty to
meet the needs or concerns the family may have. These workshops are not attended by the clients.
This allows the loved ones the freedom to openly share their questions and concerns.
Spirituality
Attendance at 12 step meetings are mandatory. We believe that while attending
12 step meetings the clients have the opportunity to explore a relationship
with a Higher Power of their understanding.
Men's & Women's Group
These groups give men and women the opportunity to discuss and deal with those
issues that are not normally discussed in a mixed group.
Lifeskills Training
Clients are given the opportunity to develop and explore personal development
skills to aid the reintegration into the comunity. Topics Addressed:
Coping Skills
Anger Management
Self Esteem
Exercise/Health & Wellness
Job Research/Resumes
Relaxation/Stress Management
Social Skills
Education
This part of the client's experience at Colonial House is in the form of films,
tapes, reading assignments, lectures and other interaction within the community.
Daily education group sessions play a major role in his/her recovery process,
along with daily attendance of AA/NA meetings.
Work Therapy
Work projects are from 1:00 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Each
client is assigned projects aiding in the general upkeep of the facility.
This is an excellent tool to promote responsibility on a personal and/or team
level.
