Medium Intensity Residential Program
The Medium Intensity Residential program provides a structured and supportive environment for men and women who are unable to achieve and maintain recovery in an outpatient or home setting. All treatment plans are individualized in a cooperative effort between clients and their Clinical Team Leaders, based on the strengths, goals and needs of each person, with the overall goal of functioning in recovery outside of the treatment center. Necessarily, the treatment team includes classes, case management, group and individual counseling, peer support, medication management, housing planning, vocational counseling, and continuing care coordination. Length of stay is not predetermined, but is continuously evaluated throughout treatment and based on individual needs and treatment resources.

Low Intensity Transitional Apartment Program
The transitional program assists with further developing the self-discipline and independent living skills necessary for living outside of institutions. These needs are addressed through case management, group counseling, and engagement in the community. In the low intensity transitional program, clients share financial responsibilities with their roommates. Clients remain involved by serving as mentors for newer residents and participating in group activities, such as an Open House for family and friends, and potluck gatherings. A primary goal of this program is to provide stable living environment, sober living experience, and recovery support until each individual is prepared to move to a more independent setting.

Family Program
The purpose of the Family Program is to provide information, peer support, and referral resources for family members of individuals seeking addiction and co-occurring treatment at Fellowship House, Inc. A Recovery Oriented System of Care includes empowering family members to support each other and their respective loved ones in recovery, and to advocate for addiction and co-occurring recovery needs. Family events, such as 'Back to School/" parties, an annual Talent Show, and holiday gatherings, are used to engage sober, positive interactions between clients, family and supportive friends.
