What Residential Treatment Looks Like

Residential treatment at ShareHouse combines structured clinical programming, individualized care planning, and recovery-focused living. Patients follow a daily schedule designed to strengthen recovery skills, build accountability, and support long-term success. Each patient is assigned a licensed addiction counselor and case manager to help guide their treatment and recovery journey.

During the morning, patients meet with their core counselor and participate in core treatment groups focused on foundational recovery work and therapeutic support. In the afternoon, patients attend elective groups selected based on their individual needs, recovery goals, and personal interests.

Treatment programming also includes participation in Twelve Step recovery groups and individualized care planning throughout a patient’s stay.

Treatment University

At ShareHouse Fargo, residential programming is referred to as Treatment University because recovery is an active learning process. Patients participate in a variety of evidence-based and skill-building groups designed to support emotional wellness, relapse prevention, healthy decision-making, and long-term recovery success.

Depending on a patient’s treatment needs, more than 20 different group options may be available throughout their stay.
