What to Expect

Your Care Team & Daily Experience

Beginning treatment can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. After completing your assessment, you’ll be guided into the level of care that fits your needs.

From day one, you’ll be supported by a team that works together to understand your situation, build a plan, and help you move forward. Treatment at ShareHouse is structured, supportive, and built to meet you where you are.

You’ll be connected with a primary addiction counselor, a case manager, mental health professionals, and additional members of the ShareHouse team who support you throughout your care.

This is not a one-size-fits-all experience. Your treatment plan is built around you and can evolve as your needs change.

A Structured Routine

Your days follow a consistent structure designed to build routine, stability, and progress. Depending on your level of care, your schedule may include:

  • Group therapy with your primary counselor
  • One-on-one sessions based on your needs
  • Core meetings with members of your care team
  • Community meetings like AA and NA that build accountability and connection
  • Peer support opportunities provided by outside agencies

Care may take place in outpatient, residential, or recovery living settings. Each program offers a different structure and level of support, but all are connected so you can move between them without starting over.
