Zero Tolerance
Our Zero Tolerance program is a traditional program to get our client sober and eventually into recovery. Our guidelines for this program have little flexibility because for some of our clients, using is not an option for sobriety and recovery. This program takes a commitment from the client and his support group and should be for those who want to get sober and are willing to do the work.
Balanced and Fair
​Failure to adhere to any of the below will result in immediate dismissal from our Zero Tolerance Program. While this may seem harsh, for most, recovery is about life and death. Also remember, you are not the only one we are treating. If you test positive or we see that you are obviously using, you are putting others at our facility at risk. This also brings false hope to other clients that one slip is OK. It is not. Often one drink or one hit will turn into larger amounts. This will not be tolerated. We have three other programs that you can attend until you are ready and committed to be back in our Zero Tolerance program.
