Accelerated Life & Recovery Program

Accelerated Recovery Program – (ARP)

You've tried multiple recovery programs.  You've started and stopped sobriety too many times to count, perhaps lived in several different sober living programs, but the truth is you just can't seem to stay sober.  Perhaps you're even feeling depressed and hopeless because you find yourself right back here again. You feel like you are never going to get it, no matter how hard you try.  

Let's get a really clear picture.  Write down all of the treatment programs, detox's, sober living and clean time attempts you have had outside of treatment programs.   Next to each one write down how far you went in the 12 steps and what kind of changes you really made.  Emotionally, Mentally, Physically, Spiritually, Financially, Socially.  

Chances are, unless this is your very first time in recovery, you might have made it to step 3 or 4. No programs were really completed and nothing really changed.  Lurking notions were held onto and no real submission to the process of recovery was achieved.  This is the story we hear over and over and over again.  Heck, it's my story.  The process of recovery is not easy.  It takes commitment, it takes follow through action and it takes structure.  

We have helped many addicts and alcoholics recover and change their lives.  Through this process we have realized there are a few vital pieces that are necessary to help the addict build a foundation of solid, long term recovery.    We have developed a program designed to help the recovering addict find and implement those vital pieces into their recovery. 

This track is designed to provide a higher level of care, accountability and structured attention to detail to make sure vital elements of transitional living and recovery are in place and regimented to a level that can be sustained to greatly improve the chances of success.

Daily actions and structure are developed in a customized manner for each resident to accommodate scheduling and other necessary needs the client may have.

This is an intensive track with focus on life skills and fundamental recovery based processes that must be in place for successful, long term recovery.  The daily regiment includes morning meditations to center and focus on the day, 12 step meetings are staff scheduled for the day and daily focus group with fitness activities included in the schedule as well. 

In the event there are outside appointments that must be met, i.e. doctor’s appointments, etc ., these are scheduled and monitored closely.

The focus of the program is:

  • Maintaining the structure and accountability of  The Arches
  • Finding a competent 12 step sponsor
  • Beginning the sponsor relationship- daily calls / weekly meetings
  • Recovery focused workshops
  • Accomplishing daily tasks and recovery based homework
  • Maintaining a timely discipline to meetings and appointments
  • Community involvement and peer relationships
  • Action based disciplines in group meetings and interactive processing
  • Building a solid foundation of early recovery disciplines and network
  • Managed job search 
  • Budgeting and Money Management 

Another important element in this track is the family involvement.  We want to have family members involved within the recovery process and incorporating a few family meetings during this intensive process is very important for the client and the family. One of the most important meetings is in the third month, where we sit down to discuss progress and budgeting responsibilities with the client and the family.
