Program staff is trained to assess where the client is and promote client’s self determination toward recovery and independence. The program phases allow clients to experience gradual development of self and achievement, through defined treatment goals and specific activity, outcome expectations, and movement/progress through the program. Phases assist the staff in approaching treatment and evaluating clients’ individual progress to determine and inform discharge planning.
