Frequently Asked Questions

  • All successful graduates of our Live-In Program can participate in Continuing Care.

  • Although our program works best through consistent engagement, we recognize that not everyone can attend every meeting. Provided you maintain contact with our Peer Support staff, we make every effort to facilitate your ongoing participation in the program.

  • Provided you have maintained engagement with Continuing Care, re-entry into the Core Program can be discussed with your primary counselor and the rest of the clinical staff. Our program is designed to facilitate re-entry on terms that best serve your ongoing treatment needs. Note that re-entry is always subject to the program’s current occupancy and waitlist.
