The group meets one day a week.  The program is 12 weeks long though most consumers take a bit longer to complete as they must complete twelve groups and therefore missed groups do not count towards their twelve weeks.  This group can be a follow-on from the Men's 2X/week group but also may be used for a person who has relapsed after a period of sobriety and needs the weekly support the group provides. Participants need to demonstrate that they can maintain sobriety for a period of time (may vary from consumer to consumer) and can be successful in a once a week outpatient program. Relapses must be processed in group. Continued relapse may indicate a need for a higher level of treatment such as Inpatient or an Intensive Outpatient Program. Group times are Monday 4:00-5:00 pm and Tuesday 4:30-5:30 pm. Population Served Adult men with a DSM-IV substance abuse/substance dependence diagnosis and impairment(s) in social, vocational, and/or family functioning; and have a willingness, ability, and capacity to work toward treatment goals in an outpatient setting. Men who have had an extended period of sobriety that was not the result of incarceration are preferred but an individual who has had a period of abstinence and recently relapsed may be deemed appropriate for this group.  Access to Program Please call 434-972-1800.
