Services
Services are tailored to meet the specific needs of each veteran. These services include:
- Case Management - A Case Manager works with each resident to develop goals and a service plan that guides the Veteran's progress toward more independent living.
- Service Plans - The Service Plan is developed by the resident with the help of the Case Manager. The resident defines goals and works toward accomplishing them. The Case Manager provides advice and counsel but the resident takes the action steps required to achieve the veteran's objective. The Case Manager also advocates, as appropriate, for the resident with outside agencies such as: V.A., substance abuse and mental health agencies, medical providers, job training and employment agencies.
- In-House Recovery Groups - Topic/discussion meetings are held twice a week to help residents explore new perspectives on issues and create new skills for living. These groups also provide peer support as the residents work toward mutual goals.
- AA Meetings - Recovering residents must attend three meetings per week and be actively involved with the AA program.
