what we offer

Our 40-bed residential substance abuse program utilizes a social model based on the 12-step program and addresses each client's comprehensive needs. Research supports the efficacy of the social model, particularly with indigent populations in which abstaining from alcohol and other substances is reinforced through peer support and expectations of personal responsibility. The 12-step model provides the basis for the program used by Cache Creek Lodge, and provides a broad spiritual component inclusive of various faiths.

Residential care clients commit to a regimented schedule five days a week. They receive individual and group counseling from trained staff with experience working with previously-incarcerated and high risk populations. Our staff teaches courses on financial literacy, seeking employment, and other life skills, balanced with time for experiential art, and recreational therapies.

For the population served at Cache Creek Lodge, long-term sobriety and community re-integration requires that clients be able to secure both affordable housing and employment. Staff provides training and guidance on completing applications, preparing resumes, and interviewing. In addition, clients are taught how to research housing and job opportunities and access public and community-based health and social services.
