Treatment at Support Systems Homes is the beginning of a new way of life. We provide the necessary exposure to
recovery principles and work at removing barriers that may prevent acceptance of those principles. This is accomplished
in a warm, peer-oriented environment, guided by compassionate, professional staff.
Addiction and alcoholism are chronic, fatal diseases. Due to their devastating impact on all facets of life, we offer
several levels of care, some of which are not time-limited. From Social Model Detoxification to Residential Treatment,
Day Treatment, Outpatient Treatment, and sober living, Support Systems Homes provides supportive, substance-free environments
with varying amounts of structure. Thus, the often difficult transition into mainstream society can be accomplished while
helping clients gain the necessary recovery tools.
Staff and program participants work together as a team to develop individualized treatment plans that treat the person
as a whole-body, mind and spirit. Team-based treatment and aftercare planning, alcohol and other drug education, exposure
to 12 step recovery principles, 12 step programs, and the local recovery community are integral parts of our curriculum.
Building a strong network of support is essential for recovering addicts and alcoholics to maintain sobriety and grow in
recovery. Support Systems Homes recognized this, and in response, founded an alumni association that sponsors year-round
social and recreational activities, as well as a free, lifetime aftercare program to help keep clients involved in recovery.
