Pre-Launch Program

Pre-Launch Program

The 4th Dimension works with the individual where they are. We know that one size does not fit all. There are multiple recovery paths and we facilitate the individual in finding their path. We offer facilitation with the following paths while at 4D:

12 Steps

Medical Assisted Recovery (MAT with working a recovery program)

Buddhist Based Recovery Systems (Recovery Dharma, Refuge Recovery, 8 Step Recovery, Hungry ghosts & 12 Step Buddhist)

Faith Based Recovery (Celebrate Recovery, Church service, Church Small group meetings & bible study)

SMART Recovery

Each individual is different and will need different things. We require an ascertainable program where we can track progress and 90 recovery meetings in 90 days. A recovery meeting can consist of any of the above meetings. We require residents to work with a sponsor or a peer support guide.

Recovery Meetings, Sponsor & Step work

Residents attend 90 recovery meetings in 90 days as evidenced by a signed meeting sheet.  After 90 days residents may drop down to 5 meetings per week if approved by staff.


Residents are expected to have a sponsor or peer support guide within 2 weeks. Staff will assist residents in finding an appropriate sponsor.  

 

Level System

4D uses a level system that creates accountability and recovery goals for each resident.  For example Level 1 requires 4 weeks of submitting signed meeting sheets to prove meeting attendance, maintaining regular contact with sponsor, compliance with all rules, 10:30 curfew and more. Overnight passes and driving privileges are determined by progress.
