Purpose
Participation in Phase II of the twelve-week Discover Recovery Inpatient Program increases clients' likelihood of sustaining recovery as they actively begin to implement the concepts learned during Phase I. Phase II provides ongoing opportunities for guided practice using recovery-supportive skills clients have started to develop. The primary purposes of Phase II are to:
-Reinforce what clients learned during the exploration and discovery process of the first phase.
-Have clients complete a comprehensive self-examination.
-Begin the process of charting the course for their ongoing journey of recovery.
This phase of the program allows more time for clients to build, strengthen, and deepen recovery skills through applying the knowledge and behaviors learned in Phase I in a supportive, structured, and supervised environment.
PHILOSOPHY
Phase II extends the LVRC inpatient treatment experience beyond five weeks in order to create additional opportunities for learning, growing, and healing. This occurs through activities that facilitate deeper self-awareness and understanding, in addition to providing a recovery-reinforcing environment where clients can continue to practice healthy attitudes and behaviors. For many people in earliest recovery who have spent years avoiding feelings and burying emotions, it generally takes five weeks before these feelings even begin to emerge. During this phase clients will participate in a detailed process that reviews their lives from beginning to the present.
We believe the progress one can make in moving forward is only limited by how far one is willing to look back. In order for clients to have the information needed to begin charting a course for recovery, they will complete a self-examination and inventory (Fourth Step) during Phase II. The Fourth Step is an in-depth exploration regarding the ways addiction has affected one across a range of important life areas.
