The work of recovery begins in earnest when the client leaves residential treatment. Guest House Continuing Care and Case Management Services are unlike any other. We provide a comprehensive approach that considers our client’s physical, psychological, and spiritual needs essential for promoting overall well-being. Balanced and holistic wellness is vital for continued recovery. The continuing care program encompasses both formal and informal interventions, opportunities to engage in ongoing didactic discussion groups with religious peers, as well as one-to-one counseling. Continuing care provides a way for those in recovery to share their challenges, as well as their successes along the way. Through planned, ongoing support, we offer encouragement for those who are in recovery and the opportunity to maintain steady progress and spiritual growth. And we can assure the leaders of the communities our clients are returning to that they will be supported by a thoughtful continuum of care.
The Guest House Continuing Care and Case Management team includes our Medical Director, Registered Nurses, Psychologists, Social Workers, Peer Recovery Coaches, and Spiritual Directors.
