Model of Care

Model of Care:

Care: We believe that chemical dependence is a serious disease and that abstinence from alcohol and drugs is just the beginning. Healthy and continuous sobriety requires real change and a transformation in attitude and outlook on life. We care for and nurture our residents as they develop the necessary skills to build a rich, full, and balanced sober life. We help them find the courage to change those beliefs and behaviors that no longer fit the person they want to be. 

Community: We believe that lasting emotional sobriety cannot be achieved alone. At Webster & Webster Legacy, you will find a family of individuals committed to a residency of recovery and  “ we” will work together to create a sober living environment conducive to growth, support, and accountability. 

Compassion: We believe that reflection brings clarity, and that recovery provides an opportunity for individuals to embrace their own uniqueness through honest self-examination and an inventory and accounting of one’s soul, both liabilities and assets. Through compassion and empathy, we open our hearts to everyone's pain, struggles and disappointments. We share in their spiritual journey to explore and find their infinite potential. In doing so, we encourage each resident to be proactive and accountable for their own recovery and to address their challenges by tapping into their inner strengths and resources.

Incorporating the social model of recovery into a sober living home's approach can significantly enhance the recovery experience for residents. Here are several key strategies to implement this model effectively:

1. Community Building:

   - Create a strong sense of community among residents by facilitating regular group activities, social events, and communal meals. This encourages bonding and support among peers. port:

 2. Safe Environment: 

   -Foster an environment where residents can support each other through shared experiences. Encourage the formation of peer-led support groups or buddy systems, where individuals can openly share their struggles and successes.

3. Shared Responsibility:

   - Involve residents in decision-making processes related to household rules, schedules, and activities. This sense of ownership can empower individuals and enhance their commitment to recovery.

4. Life Skills Development:

   - Offer workshops and activities that focus on essential life skills such as communication, conflict resolution, and teamwork. This equips residents with the tools needed to navigate social interactions and relationships in recovery.

5. Engagement with Family and Friends:

   - Promote positive relationships with family and friends by encouraging family involvement in recovery activities, such as family therapy sessions or open house events. This helps rebuild social networks and support systems.

6. Social Activities:

   - Plan regular outings and social events that encourage residents to engage with the broader community. This could include service projects, recreational activities, and local events, fostering connections beyond the sober living environment.

7. Holistic Support Services:

   - Integrate resources such as counseling, vocational training, and educational opportunities to address the diverse needs of residents, allowing them to develop a well-rounded support system.

8. Relapse Prevention Workshops:

   - Conduct group workshops focused on coping strategies, triggers, and relapse prevention techniques. Sharing experiences in a group setting can help residents feel understood and less isolated in their struggles.

9. Culturally Competent Approach:

   - Acknowledge and respect the diverse backgrounds and experiences of residents. Tailor recovery activities and discussions to be inclusive and sensitive to cultural differences.

10. Continuous Feedback:

    - Regularly solicit feedback from residents about their experiences and suggestions for improvement. This can help foster a sense of belonging and ensure that the program meets their needs.

By incorporating the social model of recovery, the sober living home creates an atmosphere where individuals can thrive not only through personal accountability but also through the power of connection, shared experiences, and community support.
