Daily Life, Rules & Family
How long will I be there?
The typical length of stay for detox is 7-10 days, and the residential program is typically 30 days or more, depending on individual clinical needs.
What is the living situation like? Can I get my own room?
The living situation is in comfortable, gender-specific houses. You have options: Standard housing includes a shared room with a roommate. For a higher cost, you can choose the Executive model for a private room and bathroom, or the Private Housing model for an off-campus apartment.
Is this a closed/locked facility?
No, it is an open campus. Clients are not locked in but are expected to fully participate in the program and adhere to the daily schedule and rules.
Can I use my phone/laptop? Is smoking allowed?
Yes, smoking and vaping are permitted in designated outdoor areas. Phone/laptop access depends on your housing plan. Standard housing has scheduled phone times (1 hr at the clinical building, 1 hr at night 4x/week). Executive and Private housing options allow full access to your devices.
What should I bring?
Generally, you should pack about a week's worth of comfortable, modest clothing that you can layer for different temperatures and activities, including items like sweaters, jackets, and appropriate sleepwear. Most facilities also recommend bringing workout clothes and comfortable shoes for recreational activities. Essential personal toiletries, such as a toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, and soap, should be packed, but make sure they are new, unopened, and do not contain alcohol. It's also wise to bring your ID, insurance card, a list of important phone numbers, and any prescription medications you take in their original, clearly labeled bottles. For personal time, you are often encouraged to bring recovery-related books, a journal, and photos of loved ones to keep you grounded and motivated.
What should I leave at home?
Most treatment centers have a strict list of prohibited items to ensure a safe and distraction-free environment for everyone. You should leave all drugs, alcohol, and unapproved medications at home. Items that could be considered weapons, such as pocket knives, are never allowed. To help you focus on your recovery, electronics like cell phones, laptops, and tablets are typically prohibited or severely restricted. It's also best to avoid bringing revealing clothing or any apparel featuring logos related to drugs, alcohol, or other inappropriate themes. Valuables like expensive jewelry and large amounts of cash should be left behind, as well as outside food or drinks, and any personal hygiene products that contain alcohol, such as certain types of mouthwash or cologne.
What is the difference between inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment?
The primary difference between inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment lies in the living arrangements and the intensity of care. Inpatient treatment requires individuals to live at a specialized facility 24/7, providing a highly structured and immersive therapeutic environment that removes them from external triggers, making it ideal for those with severe addictions or co-occurring disorders. Conversely, outpatient treatment allows individuals to live at home and maintain their daily responsibilities, such as work or school, while attending scheduled therapy sessions at a treatment center. This model offers greater flexibility and is best suited for individuals with milder addictions or those who are transitioning from a higher level of care and have a strong, supportive home environment.
Who provides care here? Are there psychiatrists on staff?
Care is provided by a team of master's level counselors, Nurse Practitioners, and nurses. While psychiatrists and medical doctors provide oversight and are available for virtual consultations, day-to-day medical care is typically handled by the on-site NP.
Who else will be in treatment with me at your facility? What is their occupancy?
You will be in treatment with a diverse group of adults (18+) in a co-ed program. The facility has 39 beds, creating a relatively intimate community. Since it is a private facility, clientele typically consists of individuals with private insurance or who are paying out-of-pocket. Housing is gender-specific.
What is the family involvement and visitation policy?
Family counseling is offered to help heal relationships. For visitation, the policy depends on housing. Standard residential clients typically do not have on-site visits, though exceptions can be arranged. Clients in the off-campus Private Housing option are able to have family visit every weekend.
What kind of aftercare and follow-up support is available once treatment ends?
Oasis offers robust aftercare, including step-down programs like IOP and Sober Living. They also provide an Oasis Coaching Program for virtual life coaching, an Extended Care Program, and an active Oasis Alumni Program for long-term peer support.
Do you treat co-occurring mental disorders?
Yes, they specialize in Dual Diagnosis Treatment, addressing both addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions simultaneously for a holistic recovery.
What is the layout of the campus?
The campus consists of several residential houses, creating a comfortable, home-like, and non-institutional feel for clients during their stay.
Is there any follow-up after discharge?
Yes, they offer virtual life coaching and an active alumni program to ensure clients have ongoing support and connection after leaving the primary treatment programs.
