Program Phases
1. Transition Phase: 30-60 days; the Transition Phase is the first phase of the Recovery Ventures program. During this phase you will become familiar with your surroundings, other associates in the program, relationships with outside agencies and employers, and most importantly, the rules, policies and procedures by which you will conduct yourself.
2. Acclimation Phase: Up to 6 months; following the transition phase, you should have a pretty good feel for what is happening in the program and what direction you are headed in your personal recovery program. In the Acclimation Phase you will begin to receive and accept a larger role in your personal responsibility and accountability. You have the opportunity to earn privileges, and you will begin to have a more active role in assisting the newer associates in the program. In this phase an initial treatment plan will be established for you with your input.
3. Leadership Phase: 6-12 months the Leadership Phase is the first “major step up” in the program. During this phase you should be very accustomed to the guidelines of the program. At this phase you will begin accepting more responsibility for the proper guidance and development of newer associates and begin to perform as a role model in house operations. You should be moving toward an understanding of your personal issues and the skills you need to deal with them.
4. Enrichment Phase: 12-18 months; the Enrichment Phase continues personal development of responsibilities and accountability by using the tools you have learned and putting them into action in your own life, as well as within the community. This is a very critical stage of development where supervision, counseling and guidance are performed on a more personal, in most cases, one-on-one basis. Treatment plans will be revised to include your individual interest, as well as your career and educational goals.
5. Internship Phase: (Aftercare) 18-24 months; the Internship Phase is the most critical stage of development. At this point you learn to balance your new direction in life while maintaining interaction with the core of the program. The structure of the transitional housing will be less demanding and restrictive than the long term facility. This is a required portion of the program, as it is necessary to continued success when you graduate.
