Extended care is a transitional level of care that fits between full-time treatment and independent life. These programs typically last between 30 and 90 days, giving you more time than traditional inpatient programs to develop a deeper understanding of recovery principles to use in everyday life. Extended care provides added support as you leave full-time treatment, maintaining the structure and accountability of a treatment center while giving you more independence to practice their recovery skills on your own.

By living in an off-campus home with other like-minded guys, you get the chance to practice daily living skills such as learning to manage your time and your finances. You also get to practice daily recovery skills as you negotiate living in community together. Integration into the Twelve Step community through Zoom meetings and sponsorship calls, as well as continued Step work, help you prepare for your ongoing recovery community after you leave the Men’s Extended Care Community.

You’ll also return to our main campus on River Road Monday through Friday to continue individual, group, and experiential therapies.This gives you a sense of continuity important in early recovery and allows you to further explore issues and challenges you worked on earlier, including more work with your family as needed. Planning for your next step on the journey of recovery is also a key part of the Men’s Extended Care Community. This involves where you will live and work, as well as how you will practically manage situations in your life that could challenge your recovery. You will have a plan tailored to you when you leave and a community of friends with whom you have made lasting bonds.
