LTHP

The transition from a secluded, safe environment directly into the world the client came from can be difficult due to the number of stimuli the client may not be prepared to face. For those who have completed either our residential treatment program, or another someplace else, we offer a transitional form of treatment that allows the client live in an environment free of drugs and alcohol while integrating back into the pressures of the outside world in a pro-social way.

This Long-Term Half-Way Program (LTHP) allows the client to develop coping skills by developing healthy daily routines that include waking at a particular time, making sure that his or her living quarters are clean, attending healthy activities including outside community support groups such as AA, NA and Al-Anon, as well as Aftercare classes and one-on-one counseling sessions offered both at ARA and at other locations.

This program generally lasts between six months to year. Progress is determined by healthy integration into society through gaining employment, going to school at the local university or attaining a GED, taking on responsibilities around ARA and in the community, completing community service, and other pro-social activities that help the client gain a stable support base. For more information about admission to this program, contact Jack Gaskill by phone at 208-522-6012.
