The residential treatment program at The Robert J Wilson House is for men only. Their program is staffed 24 hours a day, is highly structured, and emphasizes relapse prevention. Each week, three toxicology screenings will be administered to ensure compliance. Individual and group therapy will be conducted regularly, along with support for medical needs, employment needs, and legal needs. Additionally, the Robert J Wilson House provides psychiatric assessment, treatment planning, and medication management that is tailored to the needs of each person. They also ensure aftercare planning is in effect prior to graduation from their program. Self-help-related education and referrals are also offered.
Aftercare programming is for individuals who have successfully gone through a treatment program but who desire or need continual support once they return home. These programs often include alumni groups, group therapy, 12 Step meetings, SMART meetings, and individual therapy. The purpose is to provide a safe space to continuously work on recovery.
Individual therapy creates the space to explore the psychological challenges associated with the addiction. With the help of a professional, individuals are given the space and direction to talk about and process their emotions. Often this includes unresolved trauma, anger, depression, anxiety, and the need for more control or autonomy in life.
Group therapy involves treatment through the process of connecting in a group setting to discuss and work through mental, emotional, and physical issues. There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. As a men-only program, Jellison House is able to provide group therapy that focuses specifically on men’s issues.
