Plan for rehabilitation

Betti's House partners with community providers to ensure participants have immediate access to substance abuse treatment, mental health services, and counseling. We also collaborate with WorkSource to offer job search resources, resume building, and educational opportunities.

To support successful reentry, we work with corrections agencies, law enforcement, and community providers to improve communication, reduce recidivism, and enhance treatment access. Our approach promotes recovery, helps individuals move away from criminal behavior, and improves outcomes for individuals and families affected by substance use and justice involvement—ultimately strengthening public safety and health. 

Our application and handbook will be available soon, and there is no application fee. We are currently accepting applications and will be opening our doors on March 10th. As a transitional house, we offer door-to-door pick-up for participants. Upon their release from jail, prison, or long-term treatment, we prefer to personally pick them up to avoid outside influences. This ensures they don’t connect with the wrong people or relapse into substance use, which could potentially lead to the need for detox. 

Here is our plan for Reentry. Check out our Join Us page to see how you can help these ladies especially in their first 60 days which are crucial for their rehabilitation. 

.24 hours – In house (BH – Betti’s House) Intake 

48 hours – In house Orientation, Assessment, Treatment Plan

Individuals will be given a phone and go through training for the Accountability App. They will be added to the Life360 Group for staff to have access to their location 24/7. They will be given a copy of the Handbook.

48 hours – 96 hours – Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) Intake & Orientation 

96 hours – 60 days – Phase I – IOP 

Participants will engage in intensive rehabilitation through evidence-based group therapy in an IOP,  connect with mental health stabilization services, and participate in individual therapy. They will be required to attend at least five community recovery meetings (such as 12-Step or Celebrate Recovery) and secure a sponsor. Additionally, they will collaborate with Work Source to prepare for future employment opportunities once they become eligible to work. 

60 days – 90 days – Phase II – IOP/Seeking Employment

Individuals will attend 10 hours of treatment per week for 4 weeks in IOP. Individuals will be actively seeking employment and working with WorkSource Middle Georgia to receive job training and education. Individuals who are employed will be required to attend a minimum of 5 hours a week in IOP (on a case-by-case basis). IOP and BH staff will continue to do random drug screens. 

90 days – 120 days – Phase III – IOP/Employment/Service Work

Individuals will continue to attend a minimum of 10 hours of treatment per week for 4 weeks in IOP if unemployed. Individuals who are employed will continue to attend a minimum of 5 hours bi-weekly in IOP. Individuals will begin to take service positions in the recovery community (AA/NA) and/or peer-supported establishments as well as volunteering for local businesses and other organizations. IOP and BH staff will continue to do random drug screens. Individuals with a license will be financed a vehicle at no more than $100 monthly.

120 days – 180 days – Phase IV – Preparing for Reentry 

Individuals will be employed, serving the community, and sponsoring other women in AA/NA/Peer Support. Individuals will be making a safety plan for returning home or staying on-site for sober living. Individuals returning home will be building a support network in the recovery community in their hometown, securing employment, and housing (they will have first and last month’s rent). Individuals with a vehicle will continue to pay after returning home until the debt is satisfied (if any). BH staff will continue to do random drug screens.

At Betti's House, our Re-Entry Program for Women goes beyond just providing structure, accountability, and rehabilitation; it emphasizes healing at a heart level. Inspired by Proverbs 4:23, we believe that guarding one's heart is paramount since everything flows from it. Recognizing that addiction often stems from a distorted sense of self, our program is designed not merely to help women recover their lives but to rediscover their true identities and walk with purpose. Each day, we will nurture them with encouragement, instill hope, and strengthen their inner resilience through spiritual support, as echoed in Ephesians 3:16. By fostering a sense of purpose and empowerment, we aim to guide these women toward a fulfilling and meaningful future.
