About Triangle Residential Options for Substance Abusers – Durham
Triangle Residential Options for Substance Abusers (TROSA) is a residential drug and alcohol rehab facility for adult men and women located in Durham, North Carolina. They treat people with substance use disorder and alcohol use disorder. They are a not for profit organization and one of the unique things about the organization is that treatment is cost free. They are licensed by The North Carolina Department of Health & Human Services.
This program stands out because the residential program is long term — most people live in their facility for several years before reintegrating into society. TROSA is a voluntary program and you can call the facility to see about being admitted. You will need to be 18 or older with a substance use disorder and willing to live there long term.
TROSA provides evidence based treatment along with unique program elements like somatic therapy, trauma sensitive yoga, vocational training and mentoring. For the first 30 days, you will be in an internship program. You will be mentored by a senior resident and take classes in anger management and emotional regulation. After your internship, you will begin your community assignment.
The community assignment is a job that you will work at the facility. The assignment you get is determined by the staff and senior peers. They believe that working is an important part of recovery from addiction.
The community assignments are designed to teach residents responsibility and give them a sense of pride. The organization owns several businesses including a thrift store and a moving company in which residents work. Residences also work in the home itself. The staff will also help you find permanent employment before graduation.
To help you stay focused, you will have limited contact with your friends and family members for the first few months of residency. At your 12 month milestone, you can have on campus visits from family and friends. This is a peer run residential recovery home. You will have group therapy sessions and 12-step meetings at the facility. They have a professional staff that oversees operations.
