Smoothly Transition Back Into The Community
This is a three to six-month program that will help you regain structure, organization, and employment while staying sober. The staff provides group and individual therapy to help you process and heal from your addiction.
A typical day at the house will include a morning meditation, 12 step meetings, educational lectures, group therapy and community meetings. Clem Mar House has four levels of treatment, and each level has a set of goals that need to be completed before you move on to the next level.
Progress At Your Own Speed
Each resident receives an individualized treatment plan that is solidified over the first 14 days. During your initial assessment, you’ll share your treatment history and where you are in the process of recovery. Your counselor will determine how well you’re doing with reintegration by measuring your use of coping skills, life skills and educational and vocational skills.
