About Us
The
staff at The Fellowship House welcomes you to The Fellowship
House Prevention and Treatment Center Rehabilitation program! Our
facility is structured to provide you with basic tools to begin your
recovery from chemical dependency. You will have an opportunity to
learn about your illness, explore your thoughts and feelings, and
set personal goals.
Persons admitted to the agency are provided with the treatment
opportunity to enhance one's mental, physical, social, and spiritual
well being. Your needs are evaluated and the following services may
be provided: Individual counseling; family counseling (when
indicated); didactic sessions; recreational and leisure activities;
adequate rest and proper nutrition; medical consultation and
referral, when appropriate; aftercare planning; and referral for
continuing treatment.
It is recognized that family, employers, and significant others
involved in your life play a major role in the recovery process.
Therefore, their involvement in the overall treatment and aftercare
plan is encouraged.
It is also recognized that Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.),
Gamblers Anonymous (G.A.), and
Narcotics Anonymous (N.A.) are voluntary self-help organizations
that have proved to be helpful to chemically dependent persons
striving to maintain recovery. You will be introduced to the
treatment process of A.A., G.A., and N.A.
When you are scheduled for a clinical assessment interview, the
evaluation will take 3-4 hours, so make sure your transportation
person can stay the 3-4 hours. This evaluation is to determine the
severity of the problem and the intensity of treatment needed.
The facility has two types of rooms: semi-private and dormitory.
You will be assigned a room based upon bed space, your sex, and the program you are
entering.
Following is some general information that may help you prepare for
the treatment program.
