Recovery Programs
Our recovery programs are tailored to meet each resident's unique needs, ranging from our Partial Flex program to our structured CORE Recovery program.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
At Welcome House, we understand that recovery is a unique journey, and for some individuals, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) may be an essential part of their path to recovery. MAT combines FDA-approved medications prescribed by residents’ physicians with counseling and structured programming to provide a comprehensive approach to treating substance use disorders.
While we support residents utilizing MAT as part of a medically supervised recovery plan, it’s important to note that Welcome House does not provide or prescribe MAT medications. Residents interested in incorporating MAT into their recovery must work with their healthcare provider and consult with a Welcome House counselor to determine if our program fits their needs.
By embracing evidence-based practices like MAT alongside our proven programming, we aim to create a supportive and inclusive environment where individuals can focus on healing and achieving recovery goals.
Court Ordered Residency
Welcome House provides support for individuals required to participate in recovery programs as part of a court mandate. Court-ordered participation typically involves individuals who have been referred to us by the judicial system as a condition of probation, parole, or other legal agreements. These individuals are held to the same high standards of accountability, responsibility, and commitment to recovery as all Welcome House residents.
Sometimes the courts require a Home Plan for a potential resident to be released from custody. In these instances, the following requirements must be fulfilled for consideration:
- The potential resident must complete the application (most easily done online if incarcerated) and submit it to Welcome House.
- The potential resident must be willing to be court-ordered to successfully complete the Welcome House program or return to custody.
- The potential resident must participate in a virtual interview facilitated by their Case Worker or Attorney.
- The potential resident’s attorney must provide the court order requiring the individual to complete the program or return to custody if accepted.
- Welcome House Care Team staff will coordinate with the attorney or case worker regarding bed availability and the timeframe for holding a bed if available.
Our approach focuses on providing a structured, supportive environment where participants can work toward sustained recovery. Through our programs, participants not only meet their legal obligations but also gain the tools and skills necessary to build healthier, more productive lives.
We work closely with the courts and probation officers to ensure compliance with program requirements, including regular progress reports and documentation of participation. Whether court-ordered or voluntary, every individual at Welcome House is treated with dignity and respect, with the goal of fostering long-term recovery and positive personal growth.
