Upon admission, all clients will receive a full health history and psychiatric assessment by our Medical Director. Our doctor is available for clients to see up to twice a week for as long as the client is in our care. For our clients’ convenience and comfort, our doctor meets with our clients on-site in private rooms. Our clinical team works directly with our doctor to provide seamless continuity of care.

On a regular basis, our clients engage in an experiential outing day. The purpose of these outings is to provide the opportunity for clients to apply their newly learned therapeutic skills outside of the everyday treatment environment. Organized recreational activities can be a valuable part of treatment and can help clients find healthful, substance-free interests to replace a former focus on substance use. Organized sports, games, arts and crafts, and walks can have therapeutic benefits and allow the clients to participate in real-world events drug-free and with the support of therapists and peers.

Clients that attend Thrive for the full day will be provided a healthy lunch – although on Fridays we do order pizza! If a client has dietary restrictions, we are happy to accommodate these to the best of our ability. Lunch break also provides an opportunity for clients to socialize and chat with clients from other sober living houses. Healthy snacks are provided daily for all clients as well as a variety of coffees and teas.
