About Progress Foundation – La Amistad Transitional Program – San Francisco
The Progress Foundation’s La Amistad Transitional Program is a transitional residential program for behavioral health in San Francisco, California in the Mission district. They serve adults here who have behavioral health needs like drug and alcohol addiction or mental health conditions or co occurring disorders. This specific location is for the Spanish-speaking community so they have bilingual counselors and the program is culturally geared toward Spanish speakers.
In this program, you’ll live at this transitional home which gives you a supportive and sober environment where you can gradually build more independence and self sufficiency in your recovery. During your time here you’ll continue to have day treatment so you’ll be getting group counseling and individual counseling for your recovery.
You could think of this as a step down from residential rehab. You have more freedom to develop your life skills and prepare for living sober on your own but you’re still getting the sober community and counselor support.
What I find most interesting about this facility though is that their programs are client led. What that means is that you’ll work with your counselor to develop a custom treatment plan that specifically gives you what you need for your recovery. They understand that every client’s needs and journeys are unique so they give you the agency to plan your own treatment. Programs at this transitional home can last up to three months.
Former clients say this facility helped them to become sober and happy and helped them grow and set their sights on the future.
