At Lakeview Recovery Community, we believe that successful recovery extends beyond overcoming substance use disorders. It encompasses rebuilding lives, restoring hope, and achieving a balanced, healthy lifestyle. Our unique Recovery Community Model integrates a holistic approach that addresses the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of recovery.
The Therapeutic Community Model
The foundation of our Recovery Community Model is the Therapeutic Community (TC) model. This approach leverages the power of community dynamics and peer support as vital components of the therapeutic process. Unlike traditional treatment models that focus solely on clinical interventions, the TC model emphasizes communal living and shared responsibilities. Here, residents support each other, hold each other accountable, and learn to build healthy, supportive relationships.
Work as Therapy
A cornerstone of our Recovery Community Model is the concept of "Work as Therapy." We believe that meaningful work is integral to the recovery process. Engaging in productive activities helps residents develop a sense of purpose, responsibility, and achievement. Whether it's participating in meal preparation, maintaining the community garden, or contributing to our community store, these activities foster vocational skills and instill a strong work ethic.
Individualized Treatment Planning
Understanding that each individual's journey to recovery is unique, we tailor our treatment plans to meet the specific needs of each resident. Our flexible approach allows for lengths of stay that range from 60 days to 12 months, ensuring that the duration of treatment is aligned with the individual's recovery goals and progress.
The Phases of Treatment
Our program is structured into four distinct phases, each designed to support residents through different stages of their recovery journey.
Phase 1: Orientation In the initial phase, the focus is on stabilizing residents physically, emotionally, and cognitively. Comprehensive assessments are conducted to develop initial recovery goals and introduce residents to the community's norms and expectations. This phase is crucial for building a solid foundation for the recovery journey ahead.
Phase 2: Primary Treatment The primary treatment phase involves intensive individual and group therapy sessions, psychoeducation, and the development of coping skills. Residents deepen their engagement in the recovery process, strengthen their support networks, and make significant progress towards their recovery goals.
Phase 3: Community Living In this phase, residents integrate work as a therapeutic component while continuing structured therapeutic activities. Emphasis is placed on developing vocational skills, enhancing social engagement, and maintaining recovery gains through practical application. This phase helps residents build the resilience and confidence needed for independent living.
Phase 4: Community Transition & Continuing Care The final phase prepares residents for reintegration into the community. A comprehensive reintegration plan is developed, focusing on long-term recovery strategies and connecting residents with community resources. This phase ensures that residents are ready for independent living and have the support systems in place to sustain their recovery.
Purposeful Pathways Program (PPP)
The Purposeful Pathways Program (PPP) is an integral part of our therapeutic community model. It provides residents with meaningful work experiences that foster responsibility, skill development, and a sense of purpose. The PPP is progressively integrated into each phase of the resident’s recovery journey, ensuring a balanced approach that supports both therapeutic and vocational development.
A Supportive Environment
At Lakeview, we prioritize creating a safe, respectful, and nurturing environment for all residents. Our code of conduct promotes mutual respect, personal responsibility, and active participation. By fostering a supportive community, we help residents feel a sense of belonging and encourage positive social interactions.
Family Involvement
We recognize the critical role that family support plays in the recovery process. Family counseling sessions, educational programs, and scheduled family visits are all part of our approach to involving loved ones in the recovery journey. By strengthening family connections, we provide an additional layer of support that is crucial for long-term recovery.
Continuous Improvement
Our commitment to excellence drives us to continuously evaluate and improve our services. We engage in ongoing quality assurance practices, gather feedback from residents and their families, and stay abreast of the latest research and best practices in addiction treatment. This dedication to continuous improvement ensures that we provide the highest quality of care to our residents.
