Program Overview

Recovery Community Model

At Lakeview Recovery Community, we employ a modified Therapeutic Community (TC) model known as the Recovery Community Model. This approach integrates key aspects of the traditional TC model with elements from higher acuity, shorter-term treatment models to better serve our residents' diverse needs.

Key Aspects of Our Model

Community as Method

Leveraging the dynamics and relationships within the community as therapeutic tools residents support each other, hold each other accountable, and build healthy relationships.

Primary Treatment

Integrating meaningful work into the recovery process helps residents develop a sense of purpose, build vocational skills, and practice responsibility and teamwork.

Individualized Treatment Planning

​Our program is designed to accommodate individualized episodes of care, allowing for lengths of stay that range from minimum of 3 months to 12 months, tailored to the specific needs of each resident.

Typical Program Length

The typical program duration at Lakeview Recovery Community ranges from 3 to 6 months. Extended stays beyond 6 months may be necessary based on clinical treatment program indications and must have a supporting rationale.
