Description
Recovery Community offers family style transitional housing. Most of our consumers have burned their bridges with their families of origin and come to us feeling alone and unworthy. We come together in each house and as a group to welcome them into our recovery family. We start with the basics; a warm bed, food, clothing and hygiene items and then move on to self worth and self acceptance with life skills, job skills, recovery fun days and community involvement. There is no one way to recover. It is an individual process that is different for everyone. We focus on the immediate needs of our residents and then work on short and long term goals. We help them to develop their individual strengths and lift them up in times of need. We teach them to love themselves then start to rebuild the damaged relationships with their loved ones. Our Case Manager not only provides the basic needs, but is also a referral specialist. We help with bus passes, identification, social security cards, birth certificates and food stamps. We partner with agencies that have GED classes, job training, medical and mental health assistance, dental care, eye exams and glasses. We treat the whole person and give our people a hand up.Our houses are inviting with a family style kitchen, laundry facilities and a cozy living area for groups, meeting with sponsors and even movie nights. We want everyone to feel at home here, after all it is the only home some of our residents have. After six months to a year with us, we help them transition to their own place by providing referrals to low income housing.

Description
Our Recovery Skills and Relapse Prevention Groups get our clients off to a great start in their recovery and their lives in general. Recovery Skills Groups offer the tools of recovery each client needs to fill their toolbox for staying clean. Our skill building topics include life skills, sponsorship, personal growth, acceptance, decision making, 12 step studies and making the most of your recovery, just to name a few. These groups take them from the initial basics of recovery to maintaining specific skills through the stages of change. Clients are engaged with exercises including meditation and experiential therapy to give them hands on applications of the recovery process. Relapse Prevention Groups are designed to provide each individual the skills they need to recognize early signs of relapse situations and combat these triggers with recovery coping skills. We address other issues that may not even be drug or alcohol related that could be relapse triggers as well, such as romance and finance. We learn to have healthy relationships by practicing healthy boundaries and living skills starting at home.

CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments

In 2015, we opened a new Outpatient Treatment Office in Robertson County. We are excited to be able to meet a need in a place that had no Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment available. Limited funding is always a concern and more indigent and incarcerated clients are starting to seek help. We want to be able to answer that call. We have also started Recovery Programs in the Robertson County Jail. The Sheriff and his staff are excited to give inmates the tools they need to stay clean and sober when they leave their facility, and ultimately reduce recidivism rates in Robertson County. We have gender specific programming that focuses on criminal thinking, addiction issues and problem solving. We can arrest the people, but we must be focused on arresting the problem.
