Food and lodging are included in the program and the views from the facility cannot be beat.
Extended Care Program (ECP)
Many times people who come through our 5 day program discover that they have a very bad alcohol/drug problem stemming from the need to medicate away the pain of our critical incidents. We offer a comprehensive extended care program that is available from 30 to 90 days. During this stay our clients are provided with 1 on 1 counseling, required attendence at AA programs, educational trainings as well as peer support to help them get a solid foundation on their new found sobriety. The main object of the program is to stabilize our clients and prepare them to go back into their life with a confidence that they will no longer need to medicate away the pain that they are suffering.
Intensive Intervention Program (Double I)
The Intensive Care Program is incident specific. It is usually planned around specific events that have occured and provides an intense but limited treatment for the clients involved.
