Our program is about two and a half years long. Yeah, so that's a very interesting story in itself, and actually there is a book written about it.
Ever thought about what makes a recovery program truly effective? Jeff Nash, Executive Director of Habilitat, takes us through the ins and outs of their unique approach in this episode of Beyond Hope. Habilitat isn’t your typical recovery center; it’s a long-term residential program that treats the whole person, not just the addiction. Situated on the beautiful island of Oahu, Habilitat offers a therapeutic community that adapts to individual needs while emphasizing responsibility, accountability, and freedom.
Jeff shares his personal journey with Habilitat, which began in the mid-1980s when he sought treatment as a teenager. Now, as the Executive Director, he details how their graduated system works. Residents move from initial treatment phases to re-entry and post re-entry, receiving vocational training in one of 13 trades along the way. This holistic approach ensures that graduates don’t just leave with sobriety but also with stable housing and a full-time job. What’s a day like at Habilitat?
Jeff paints a vivid picture, explaining the mix of positive peer pressure and self-awareness techniques that help residents keep each other in check. The program also offers robust family support, understanding that addiction affects everyone involved. By providing resources and counseling for family members, Habilitat ensures a supportive network for each resident. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, this episode offers a glimpse into a program that could make all the difference.
Tune in to hear Jeff’s insights and learn more about how Habilitat’s unique model can pave the way for lasting recovery.
