Residential Program

Phase I

At the outset of Phase I, clients are evaluated for needs in the areas of housing, medical conditions, job prospects, and the like. A client may be referred to community programs and/or practitioners with affiliation agreements with Hope House. Clients begin structured clinical programming with one-to-one sessions with their counselor and participating in small groups; education on mental health, coping skills, emotional regulation, health education such as HIV/Aids, substance use treatment goals review, neurobiology of the brain, anger management, communication styles, etc.

Included in the Phase I program is the Structured Outpatient Addiction Program (SOAP). The SOAP Program is offered through Hope House Inc.’s Outpatient Department. SOAP is a four-week intensive treatment program that provides group therapy and individual support.

Phase II

After completion of Phase 1, clients work with their counselors to explore part-time or full-time employment opportunities or some structured time that fits their abilities. Clients continue to attend group meetings and individualized treatment in the evening.

Phase III

Within 60 days of their admission to Hope House, clients must be working or volunteering. During Phase III, each client works with their case manager to prepare for life after Hope House, including finalizing plans for long-term housing. Some clients transition into the Phase IV program or to Hope House’s low-income supportive housing program, some return to their families, and others transition into other supportive housing arrangements.

Phase IV

A client may choose to continue their journey of Recovery by continuing to engage in supportive services offered by Hope House. Phase 4, “The Graduate House,” offers those residents who successfully complete the residential recovery program an opportunity to continue to build a strong community connection and individual foundation for their recovery.

A client can apply for admission to the Graduate Sober Community and be willing and motivated to continue to participate in services offered by Hope House.
