What happens after the initial detox period?
After social detox, clients may move into the transitional living phase for up to three months. This stage focuses on developing life skills, finding employment and housing, and continuing with therapy and support groups to build a stable foundation for long-term recovery.
How long is the program?
The program length varies by need. It includes 3 days of close observation, 14 days of social detoxification, and up to three months of transitional living.
Is the program faith-based?
Yes, the program includes access to spiritual support services, ministry, and Christian elements. As a White Bison–certified center, it also integrates cultural and spiritual components that can be supportive for Native American clients and others open to these traditions.
