ADULT
RESIDENTIAL INTERVENTION
BREAKTHROUGH II
The community residence program provides a place for persons
recovering from mental illnesses in need of a structured living environment. The program
offers 24-hour staffed residential settings including two levels of care and services. The
Supervised Residences provide an intensive level of care and the Supportive Apartments
provide a less intensive level of care. An admissions/discharge committee reviews
applications and assesses the level of care needed. The staff works closely with clients
at all levels to coordinate participation in day treatment and other community programs to
provide a full continuum of care for persons suffering from mental illness. This makes the
goal of independent living a real possibility for persons making the difficult transition
back to the community.
HELPING
HANDS HOUSING
(SUPPORTED HOUSING)
Helping Hands Housing provides a stable living environment to persons
recovering from mental illness. Recipients need to
have the basic skills necessary for independent
living, including the ability to self-medicate. Services are at a minimum
in this program, however recipients receive rent subsidies, start-up costs such as
furnishing expenses, security deposits, utility
subsidies and monthly home visits. Staff
is available to discuss housing issues and advise on landlord/tenant disputes.
The goal is to transition into HUD housing after being a part of Helping Hands
Housing.
TWIN OAKS
Twin Oaks is a 16-bed community residential program for persons in
chemical dependency recovery. This program lasts 6 months and is focused on recovery and
employment. Chemical dependency is a disease for which there is no "cure," but
there are effective treatments. Participation in a structured environment like Twin Oaks
is part of the process of recovery, encouraging the development of skills to recognize and
manage symptoms, and reenter the community in a positive and constructive manner.
