Why our Women's Sober Living Home is the Best Option for Recovery
At Foundations To Freedom, we provide homes for women in recovery. Our goal is to instill life skills that will help recover individuals while living in our sober homes in Florida and be of value when clients re-integrate into mainstream society. Here are a few reasons why our structured environment is the best facility.
Foundations’ goal is to help each client reclaim their dignity, acquire knowledge, skills, support, network, and resources the will need to maintain a substance-free, purposeful, and productive life. Foundations encourages clients to reach out to staff; on-site staff are available to assist clients develop and execute their own personalized recovery plan, including an exit plan to return to the community.
Foundations’ offers a three-phase program curriculum:
Phase I:
Each client is provided with a Case Manager who creates an individual case plan based on the specific client recovery needs. The client will create a recovery support system, participate in daily mutual support groups, obtain legal documentation, write their personal life-story, and share it with their Case Manager. Each client will become gainfully employed, perform daily chores, and all clients must pass random urinalysis and breathalyzer testing.
Phase II:
The client continues every goal from Phase I, and the client continues to work closely with their Case Manager to set and attain new goals for their recovery journey. Clients work with a sponsor, obtain a home group, serve in their mutual support group, volunteer in the community, and examine the person they were and who they want to become. These goals may take about three to four months, and the client is ready for Phase III.
Phase III:
The client continues with the previous goals as outlined in Phases I and II. The client will begin to work with their Case Manager on their individual exit plan, and the client will set an example for the new clients arriving at Foundations. The client will have a developed recovery support network, understand themselves, and continue to be an active participant in a mutual support group.
Graduation:
Prior to graduation, the Foundations staff and the client will determine external community resources that will support the client as they integrate back into the community. These services may include mental health and physical healthcare, peer recovery support services, sponsorship, and educational institutions.
