<p><strong>ABOUT FOUNTAIN RECOVERY</strong></p> <p>Located in the town of Livermore, Calif., 34 miles north of San Jose, Fountain Recovery offers <strong>a full continuum of treatment programs</strong> for individuals struggling with substance use disorders. Fountain Recovery provides <strong>residential treatment</strong>, a partial hospitalization program (PHP), an intensive outpatient program (IOP), and two sober living houses.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>According to the center’s website, to develop an individualized treatment plan and determine an appropriate level of care, clients undergo an <strong>initial substance abuse assessment</strong>. If a client initially requires structure and supervision to obtain and sustain sobriety, they may be referred to Fountain Recovery’s residential program. </p> <p>Fountain Recovery’s <strong>evidence-based programming is abstinence-based</strong> and, <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/CA16.pdf" target="_blank">like 78% of treatment centers in California</a>, rooted in the principles and practices of <strong>12-Step</strong>. Residents attend daily meetings, study fellowship literature, and perform associated “step-work.”</p> <p>During residential treatment, <strong>clients participate in programming five days per week</strong>. Clients attend educational and process groups that cover a range of topics, such as recovery skills training and relapse prevention. Clients are also assigned a primary counselor for <strong>daily individual and group counseling sessions</strong>.

Clients attend two morning groups and two afternoon groups. Upon completion of residential treatment or PHP, clients may be encouraged to utilize the intensive outpatient program as a “step-down” service.</p> <p>After completing their primary treatment program, clients may transition into one of the <strong>sober living homes</strong> operated by Fountain Recovery. While living in the home, clients must attend two weekly house meetings, perform mandatory chores, and are encouraged to work or attend school. <strong>Fountain Recovery offers free</strong> <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/extended-recovery-programs/" target="_blank"><strong>aftercare groups</strong></a> <strong>to all clients</strong> who successfully complete a treatment program.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Fountain Recovery’s website states: “Our staff is made up of experienced, compassionate and dedicated counselors.” Fountain Recovery also claims to provide an intimate staff-to-client ratio to meet each client’s specific needs, though it does not specify an exact number. </p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>Although no information is available concerning the residential treatment facility, Fountain Recovery’s two sober living homes — Fountain House and Serenity House — provide a <strong>structured, supportive environment</strong> conducive to recovery. To help ensure a successful transition back into the community, the homes are <strong>supervised 24 hours a day</strong>.
