Program Overview

Covenant Community provides comprehensive assessment and holistic drug-abuse treatment within the context of a residential, therapeutic community. Upon arrival, a Case Manager who develops a personalized treatment and recovery plan assesses each client. Initial treatment begins with eight weeks of day treatment at a partner agency. Day treatment consists of a concentrated rehabilitation process including 12-Step, psycho-educational, group, and individual counseling.
Following day treatment, clients meet with representatives from Vocational Rehabilitation if it is determined they exhibit qualifying co-morbidities. CCI utilizes speakers and workshops to educate residents on other topics such as CPR and first aid, sexually transmitted diseases, and relapse prevention. CCI continues the intensive rehabilitation counseling in group and individual settings. CCI also requires participants to attend three in-house and four external Alcoholics Anonymous/Narcotics Anonymous meetings a week.
CCI also provides food, transportation, medical, dental and legal referrals, and a safe home environment with 24-hour staff supervision. Beyond the clinical and practical aspects of our program, CCI offers our clients with diverse life experiences to exemplify a “normal” life. The men participate in group outings such as bowling, going to the movies.
The length of stay per client ranges between six months to three years depending upon the needs of each individual. Clients are required to find either full-time employment or part-time employment while attending school. It is strongly encouraged for individuals to open a savings account with the goal of accumulating sufficient funds to acquire permanent housing at the completion of the basic six-month program. It is our objective to transition our clients to drug-free, independent living with a comprehensive after-care plan to maintain sobriety. CCI provides every client with an individualized after-care plan upon completion of the program.
Following completion of our program, clients are strongly encouraged to become active members in our alumni group, The Men of Hope (MOH.) MOH’s purpose is to keep relationships intact, encourage each other in maintaining sobriety, and serve as mentors to new residents. The MOH provides a vital support system and resource for our graduates. As previously noted, they sponsor many of the outings; and with the current residents, serve Sunday breakfast at All Saints Episcopal Church.
