Clients who complete our 11-month, long-term program are less likely to relapse as 86% of our clients are still in recovery six months after graduating our program (2019). Long-term substance use disorder treatment provides accountability in a supportive environment while our clients resolve legal issues, repair family relationships, stabilize mental and physical health, address co-occurring disorders, receive job skills training, and employment.
One of our program’s unique features is a guarantee of the opportunity of employment after 90 days of addiction treatment. In 2019, 220 clients and graduates were employed through internships and employment opportunities. Long-term clients are provided jobs, free GED instruction, free college courses, spiritual guidance, counseling services, parenting classes, soft skills training, peer support, medical care, and transportation. IH allows people the time and the tools to make lasting changes necessary to be successful in recovery and life.
