Supported Treatment Housing
Many clients with cognitive and emotional deficits progress enough to not need residential treatment, but still require support to live successfully within the community. Our supported housing services provide social, housing and life skills supports to clients living in their own residences, and not in licensed treatment facilities. Our staff assists clients in finding and securing appropriate housing. This support provided protects individual dignity, promotes confidence and builds patterns of functional and healthy living.
