Plan for rehabilitation

Betti’s House is a GARR- and THOR-approved recovery program grounded in the 12-step model and enriched through faith integration rooted in Scripture and the finished work of Christ. Our program is designed to provide structure, accountability, and a safe, supportive environment for women in recovery.

We operate within a clear chain of support to promote healthy communication and shared responsibility. Residents are encouraged to address concerns at the appropriate level while remaining assured that leadership is informed and actively involved in the care and oversight of the home.

Betti’s House also functions as a leadership development program. Women who have demonstrated stability and consistency are given opportunities to take on peer leadership roles, helping uphold house expectations, support fellow residents, and communicate directly with on-site management. This structure fosters responsibility, service, and personal growth while preparing residents for leadership beyond the program.

Below is an outline of our four-phase program structure, designed to support progressive growth, accountability, and long-term recovery.

_________________________________________________________________________

Phase 1: Foundations (Days 1–60)

Phase 1 focuses on stabilization and establishing a strong foundation for recovery. During this phase, residents begin developing structure, accountability, and personal responsibility while adjusting to a sober, supportive environment.

Residents work toward consistent routines, secure employment or approved volunteer work, and begin early recovery step work. Daily devotion, journaling, and self-reflection help residents grow in spiritual and emotional awareness. The primary goal of Phase 1 is stability—emotionally, spiritually, and behaviorally.

Key Focus Areas:
• Orientation to program structure and expectations
• Building healthy routines and accountability
• Securing employment or approved volunteer work
• Beginning recovery step work (Steps 1–3)
• Establishing a relationship with a sponsor
• Attending regular recovery meetings
• Developing early coping skills and emotional regulation
• Daily devotion, journaling, and guided reflection

Clinical Focus:
Engagement, establishing structure, building a sober support network, stabilization, increasing motivation for change, development of recovery readiness, and identifying unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors that impact recovery.

Phase 2: Strengthening Structure and Stability (Days 61–90)

Phase 2 builds upon the foundation established in Phase 1. Residents are expected to demonstrate consistency, emotional growth, and increased responsibility in daily life, work, and relationships.

Coping skills introduced earlier are now actively applied in real-life situations. Residents focus on improved decision-making, time management, and interpersonal communication while continuing spiritual and personal development.

Key Focus Areas:
• Maintaining consistency in routines, work, and recovery
• Demonstrating accountability and openness to feedback
• Strengthening emotional regulation and coping skills
• Improved time management and organization
• Continued recovery meeting participation
• Ongoing devotion, journaling, and self-reflection
• Completion of deeper recovery step work (Step 5)

Clinical Focus:
Strengthening recovery identity, applying cognitive and behavioral coping strategies, behavioral change, measurable progress toward recovery goals, improving workplace and relational functioning, increasing self-awareness, personal responsibility, community integration, and preparing for leadership growth. 

Phase 3: Service and Leadership Development (Days 91–140)

Phase 3 emphasizes growth through service, leadership, and emotional maturity. Residents begin shifting from self-focus to community focus while maintaining personal recovery.

Residents serve as role models within the home, mentor newer residents, and practice humility, patience, and empathy. Leadership responsibilities increase as residents apply recovery principles consistently in stressful or challenging situations.

Key Focus Areas:
• Service within the home and recovery community
• Leading recovery meetings and group discussions
• Mentoring and supporting newer residents
• Demonstrating emotional maturity during conflict
• Continued spiritual growth through devotion and journaling
• Completing all 12 recovery steps
• Beginning to sponsor others

Clinical Focus:
Sustained recovery engagement, service to others, community responsibility, leadership development, emotional regulation, relapse-prevention skills, and strengthening identity through accountability and contribution.

Phase 4: Preparing for Reentry (Days 141–270)

Phase 4 prepares residents for a successful transition into independent living. The focus shifts toward long-term stability, healthy relationships, vocational readiness, and sustainable recovery beyond Betti’s House.

Residents demonstrate readiness for graduation by living out principles of integrity, accountability, service, and emotional balance. Emphasis is placed on planning for housing, employment, aftercare, and ongoing community support.

Key Focus Areas:
• Transition planning and goal setting
• Continued leadership and service in recovery
• Establishing long-term recovery support systems
• Preparing for independent living
• Strengthening work ethic and personal responsibility
• Demonstrating healthy communication and conflict-resolution skills
• Active engagement in aftercare planning

Clinical Focus:
Long-term recovery sustainability, transition readiness, independent living preparation, emotional and vocational readiness, healthy independence, and continued engagement in aftercare and community support.
