Residential Recovery Through Social Model Care
The residential program at Walter’s House uses a social model philosophy, building a recovery community where residents support and hold each other accountable as they work toward independence. Daily on-site AA and NA meetings, structured programming, and skill-building activities create a consistent framework for change. The program serves men and women, including adults experiencing homelessness, veterans, court-referred individuals, and those managing co-occurring mental health conditions.
Case managers work with each resident individually, coordinating connections to medical care, mental health resources, and employment support throughout the treatment period. Services include assessment, treatment planning, individual and group counseling, family therapy, crisis intervention, and aftercare planning. The approach incorporates evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

Other Forms of Payment
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.
