Program Tracks

Intensive Residential Recovery

A one-year, intensive residential recovery program providing structured substance abuse services via a social/clinical model of recovery that extends medical and behavioral health care coordination, employment linkage, psychosocial skills coaching, physical health and education, nutrition, budgeting, legal case management, spiritual identity formation, cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy elements, life skills training as well as other holistic interventions a resident may require to be successful .  Because the residential program is not a 'come and go at will' environment, the program meets local, state, and federal requirements for stringent alternative sentencing, drug courts, as well as many other court-ordered substance abuse treatment requirements including furlough situations.   Residents are not permitted to leave the facility at any time other than for pass privileges that are dictated by a resident's progression with course curriculum as well as the approval of any applicable governing body.  Such governing entities may include misdemeanor, state, or federal probation/parole mandates, judicial programs, or any other governing body a resident may legally be subject to report to. 

Transitional Housing

A six-month transitional program designed for individuals who are equipped for less structure but still require accountability through set curfews and random drug testing.

Graduate/Independent Living

Independent housing extends even less structure than transitional housing allowing individuals to reside onsite without a curfew. Individuals that reside independently are required to submit to random drug testing and participate in recommended services as a condition of residency.  

Our Services

Medical & Behavioral Health Care Coordination

Our team realizes the impact of an integrated

care model; therefore, we staff various

medical and behavioral health professionals

to include licensed nurses, Certified Peer

Recovery Specialists, resident counselors,

and a board-certified psychiatrist who helps

to ensure every resident is extended the

opportunity to establish and maintain care

regardless of a resident’s economic status or

ability to pay. Individual therapy with a licensed therapist and psychiatric medication management are encouraged and coordinated if clinically indicated.

Life Skills Training & Employment Resources

Our goal is to equip every resident

with the knowledge and resources required to maintain sobriety and independence. Our Employment Specialist works hard to establish community partners that are willing

to extend once in a lifetime opportunity to our residents regardless of a resident’s

addiction or legal history.

Relapse Prevention & Group Counseling

Our staff understand the importance of

being able to engage in evidence-based

relapse prevention modalities as well as the

ability to openly verbalize individual

successes and struggles. We pride

ourselves in the ability to integrate relapse

prevention techniques within daily

instruction as well as in a group setting in

efforts to support residents in their journey

to obtaining and maintaining sobriety.

Individual counseling is tailored to

individual treatment plans and dependent

upon the resident's willingness to

participate.

Legal Case Management

Our philosophy in teaching addicted individuals how to become productive members of society reinforces the importance of resolving outstanding legal concerns. Our team fully assesses each resident's legal status and develops a personalized plan for coordination resolution of outstanding legal issues. Legal case management services can include but are not limited to the following: communicating with state and federal judiciaries, child support offices, as well as any interstate services that may be required to ensure a resident's full compliance is achieved and maintained.

Spiritual Identity Formation

Spiritual Identity Formation

Every individual should be extended the

ability to define their purpose in life and

utilize such knowledge to achieve personal

wholeness. While executive leadership

unapologetically maintains their own spiritual

convictions, the Lazarus treatment team

welcomes individuals of all backgrounds and

believes the development of one's spiritual

identity is a fundamental key of maintaining

sobriety. Such developments are

relationships designed by the client, not the

staff. In efforts to encourage spiritual growth,

access to weekly church services is made

available to all residents; however,

participation is not a mandatory component

of treatment plans.

Sobriety Toolkit Development

Having the appropriate tools to defend oneself

from relapse is vital to the success of every

individual struggling with addiction. Our staff

exerts diligent efforts to ensuring that sobriety tools are integrated within all areas of instruction both in the classroom, group, individual or life skills setting.

Nutrition & Physical Health Education

Understanding how the body functions can

empower individuals to achieve a higher level

of comprehension regarding the scientific

and physical elements of addiction.

Our Health Advocates facilitates ongoing

education throughout the duration of the

program to teach residents the physical

driving factors contributing to their

addictions as well as how to properly nourish

the body to achieve optimal health.

Dentistry Care Coordination

We believe that dental health, hygiene, and confidence are vital components of sobriety.  Our Health Advocate ensures every resident who has a desire to access dental services are connected with licensed dental providers who can evaluate and treat resident dental needs. 

Optometry Care Coordination

Proper vision is necessary for physical and mental health.  Vision services are available to residents who require optometry evaluation and treatment all of which can be coordinated through a referral made by our Health Advocate.  

Financial Literacy Education

Key Reasons Financial Literacy is Important

Empowerment in Financial Decision-Making: Financial literacy equips individuals with the knowledge to make savvy financial choices, such as understanding interest rates, credit management, and investment options. This empowerment helps avoid costly mistakes and promotes better financial health. 


Improved Financial Wellbeing: Individuals with higher financial literacy are more likely to save money, create emergency funds, and plan for retirement. This leads to greater financial security and resilience against economic challenges. 


Navigating Financial Products: As financial products become increasingly complex, understanding how to use them effectively is vital. Financial literacy helps individuals navigate options like loans, credit cards, and investment accounts, ensuring they make choices that align with their financial goals. 


Reducing Financial Vulnerability: Financial literacy is particularly important for vulnerable groups, including low-income individuals, persons struggling with addiction and/or co-occurring concerns, and those with limited education. By improving financial knowledge, these groups can better manage their finances and reduce the risk of falling into debt or financial distress. 


Long-Term Financial Planning: With the shift from pension plans to self-funded retirement accounts, understanding how to save and invest for retirement has never been more critical. Financial literacy enables individuals to make informed decisions about their retirement savings and investment strategies.
