Chemical Dependency Treatment

Prodigal offers a two-phase chemical dependency treatment program aimed at helping men who have ongoing relapse episodes. Candidates for our program are men who are unable to abstain from chemical use, jobless, homeless, lack social network and without family support. We have the flexibility to place clients in our High Intensity or Low Intensity tracts according to their clinical needs, and moving them from level to level as they progress in their treatment.

Residential:

A structured period of time, usually about forty five days, during which the client identifies his personal relapse triggers, acknowledges consequences of chemical use, learns about relapse prevention strategies, participates in an exercise program, develops his individual relapse prevention plans, and forms a social network.

Non-Residential:

This program is specifically designed to treat alcohol and chemically dependency with a 12 steps model that concentrates on Relapse Prevention. We also utilize many of the components of our Residential Program.
