During this time, They will attend groups which are 4 hours a day 5 days a week Mon- Friday mornings 8am -12. He will be given a “Buddy” who is a Phase 2 resident that will mentor him during phase 1. The Phase One resident will attend a 12-step meeting 5-7 nights a week. This is considered a blackout period where you will only be attending groups, meeting’s and doctors/mental health appointments. Case by Case.
Phase Two
Has no magic number; it is based on your response to the program. Residents will continue to attend groups which are 4 hours a day 5 days a week Mon- Friday mornings 8am-12pm. He will be introduced to the concepts of a 12-step program and attend 12-step meetings.
In this phase the resident may go to outside appointments, i.e. doctors, dentist, counseling, passes etc. “Case by Case”. Each individual must acquire a sponsor and have the 12 steps in their lives within 45 days. This is a vital step in building the foundation for your recovery.
