Description
In this supervised phase of the program, residents live in group homes. Trained counselors are on site 24 hours a day for support and assistance at these homes. A Young Adult Program is also offered to individuals ages 18-25. Residents who live in the supervised sites receive counseling, medication management, assistance with cooking and cleaning, food shopping, money management, and they participate in rehabilitative activities. Weekly community meetings give residents a chance to take an active role in planning house activities and to discuss any concerns they have about the home. The emphasis in this phase is to support the resident in acquiring basic living skills.
