Continuing Care & Case Management

Continuing Care & recovery

Our care for guests extends beyond our campus.

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.

OUR APPROACH

Holistic healing that unfolds
over time.

The Guest House campus is organized and staffed to provide a holistic approach to healing. We provide separate facilities for men and women in which they can recover while in the fellowship of fellow Catholic clergy, men and women religious, and seminarians. Our trauma-informed approach empowers our clients to mindfully address substance use disorders, cluttering and hoarding, overspending, compulsive overeating, and other behavioral health challenges. Our therapists, medical/nursing staff, and registered dietitian nutritionist collaborate on a wellness plan that includes physical, psychological, psychosocial, and spiritual, components; exercise and nutrition are critical elements. A plan for continuing care and immersion in a network of Guest House alumni and alumnae help support and celebrate their continued recovery.
