About The Magdalen House
In the first step of the program, you’ll be in residence for two weeks. The stay includes meals as well as all your basic living necessities like toiletries. The curriculum is based on the 12 Step model of recovery and is spiritually based. You’ll participate in 53 meetings, classes and workshops while in the two week program. The staff is fully trained and includes people who are also in recovery.
Many of the staff have been through the program. While in residence, they’ll help connect you with counseling and sober living situations. You’ll also talk daily to volunteers who are in recovery from alcoholism. You’ll attend meetings that are also open to the community, so you’ll become part of the local recovery community and have the chance to find a sponsor. During the two weeks, you’ll be introduced to the steps of the 12 Step recovery model. The program curriculum follows the 12 Steps in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous.
While in the residential program, you’ll follow a regular schedule that starts with breakfast and meditation. It’s followed by morning chores so each person can contribute in a small way. You’ll have classes and personal time. You’ll have the opportunity to attend yoga and mindfulness classes.
Step two is a three month, nonresidential program. You’ll have recovery education, meetings and mentorship. The programs are gender specific and open to anyone who has an alcohol use disorder. You have to be sober for at least 72 hours to join step two of the program, but step one isn’t required. Many people who come out of the first step of the program use the second step as aftercare.
The third step of the program is the community aspect. This is where you’ll find the recovery meetings that work for your schedule and attend them. They have men’s, women’s and family support meetings.

Levels of Care
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
