Recovery Principles
The principles of recovery and fellowship are woven into the fabric of Woodhaven. Certified Recovery Specialists deliver a curriculum that greets ambivalence and progresses through stages of change. Motivational interviewing techniques are used to coach residents as they develop coping strategies, hobbies, and discover themselves.
In-House Recovery Groups
Led by our team of board certified recovery specialists, residents participate in 18 weekly hours of recovery curriculum. Founded on the principles of 12-Step fellowship and blended with modern and exciting material, our boys get an interactive and tangible experience that demystifies recovery.
Fellowship
Woodhaven’s residential continuum provides a link between adolescence and young adulthood creating an ecosystem of age-appropriate fellowship and peer accountability. Boys learn to reach out and ask for help, have a safe space to ask questions, and learn to identify strengths in themselves and each other.
Curricula
Each resident receives a thoughtfully crafted workbook, created by our team, that they complete with Certified Recovery Specialists (CRS) and review in group and individual sessions.The work includes theory from modern authors as well as traditional 12-Step fellowships. Off-site fellowship meetings are carefully selected and facilitated by our staff to promote belonging and community.
Individual Coaching
To develop and build recovery capital, residents meet with our Certified Recovery Specialists and leadership teams to review program progress, personal satisfaction, and assess vulnerabilities in their program. This information is used to fine tune program planning and create long-term success plans.
Learning to Tell Their Story
Woodhaven residents learn to embrace their history, learning they are not defined by their past, and use their story to be of benefit to themselves and others. As they are immersed in recovery they become a source of experience, strength, and hope for themselves and the community.
