<p><strong>ABOUT THE LAUNCH PAD</strong></p> <p>The Launch Pad is a network of full-service recovery homes located in the beach communities of Myrtle Beach, S.C. and Wilmington, N.C. Designed to house residents who have recently completed a primary treatment program for chemical dependency, the Launch Pad provides <strong>a supportive, recovery-oriented environment for individuals transitioning back into the community</strong>. Along with the Launch Pad residences, the organization also operates <a href="http://www.rehabs.com/listings/new-life-launch-pad-2726287098/" target="_blank">Launch Pad Wellness</a>, a Wilmington treatment facility that provides clinical services and one of the state's <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/NC17.pdf" target="_blank">194 (41.1 percent)</a> treatment programs on an outpatient basis. </p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>While potential residents of the Launch Pad do not require a clinical assessment to be admitted, <strong>individuals participate in an initial interview</strong>. According to the facility's website, the primary requirement for admission is a history of alcohol or drug dependency. However, applicants with a drug prescription that helps control impulsive behaviors may be denied, as this scenario could impact the common welfare of the home. The facility's website states that facilities "cannot fully provide mental, physical or emotional support in coping with problems other than addiction/alcoholism."</p> <p>The primary goal of the Launch Pad is to provide individuals in recovery <strong>a supportive living environment with like-minded peers</strong>. The Launch Pad requires residents to be actively involved in the <strong>12-step model of recovery</strong>. Residents are required to attend meetings frequently, obtain a sponsor, and "work the steps." In addition, Launch Pad residences facilitate <strong>daily workshop groups</strong>, which may be 12-step study sessions or discussion groups. Clients may also meet with the home's Recovery Coach for <strong>one-on-one counseling and mentoring</strong>.</p> <p>While residents of Launch Pad enjoy a level of autonomy and independence, the facilities do apply certain requirements and <strong>restrictions during the first 30 days</strong>. During the first month, clients must attend a 12-step meeting daily and frequently participate in Launch Pad meetings and events. <strong>New residents have stricter curfews</strong>, and one-on-one social activities, such as dating, are prohibited for the first 30 days. During this time,, residents must also <strong>obtain a job or actively search for employment</strong>. </p> <p>In addition to 12-step meeting and in-home workshops, Launch Pad organizes <strong>a range of recreational events and activities</strong>. Residents may join the house softball team, compete in volleyball and basketball games, attend yoga sessions, as well as participate in <strong>beach outings, camp-outs, and recovery conventions</strong>. If court-ordered, Launch Pad is also equipped to provide <strong>in-house drug testing</strong>.</p> <p>If necessary, Wilmington-based clients can <strong>receive clinical services through Launch Pad Wellness</strong>, which offers an intensive outpatient program (IOP), traditional outpatient program, and individual counseling. Launch Pad Wellness also provides monthly <strong>Vivitrol injection</strong> to reduce alcohol or <a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/why-are-opiate-addicts-so-hard-to-treat/" target="_blank">opioid cravings.</a> </p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Each residence of Launch Pad is supervised by a <strong>Recovery Coach</strong>, paraprofessionals experienced in the process of recovery. Recovery Coaches offer advice regarding "step-work," help ensure a structured, safe living environment, organize outings and recreational events, and provide one-on-one counseling and mentoring when necessary.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>The gender-specific Launch Pad residences are located in the communities of Myrtle Beach, a popular vacation destination, and Wilmington, N.C., a historic port city with a nearby beach. The Myrtle Beach homes are within three blocks of the beach, while Wilmington residences are within six miles of nearby Wrightsville Beach. Residences are <strong>home-like facilities located in desirable, hand-picked neighborhoods</strong>, offering clients easy access to transportation, medical services, and occupational opportunities. </p> <p>While information is scarce concerning living arrangement and home amenities, images on Launch Pad's website showed <strong>upscale homes with sprawling, well-maintained yards</strong>. The sole loved one who responded to a Rehabs.com survey to date gave a rating of five out of five stars for the cleanliness and upkeep of a Myrtle Beach residence. </p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>While Rehabs.com has yet to receive alumni feedback for the sober housing network, secondary sources revealed general alumni approval of the organization. On Google reviews, <strong>45 individuals awarded the facility an average rating of 4.5 out of five stars</strong> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small>. Alumni tended to praise the program's management and its supportive environment as strengths. </p> <p>"The owners and managers are constantly organizing functions to show the residents how to enjoy life clean and have fun in recovery," Ryan, a representative reviewer, wrote. Alum Joey added, "The staff and community were essential to my sobriety." Another summarized, "The community is a major reason why I stayed in Launch Pad as long as I did. Surrounded by a very tight knit group of men that all have the same goal in staying clean and sober."</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The sole loved one polled by Rehabs.com praised most aspects of the facility. Out of five stars, survey respondent D.F. gave perfect five-star ratings for the facility's staff support, the staff's qualifications, and the amount of family involvement during residency. "Great recovery house... much healing can happen there if the Addict or Alcoholic is READY for it," D.F. wrote .</p> <p>Feedback from loved ones on Google to date was exclusively positive.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> "Having had experience with 7 different recovery programs, this one worked for our family," B.T. wrote. "The staff has always been there for me and my daughter," H.C. echoed.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided on the facility's website regarding its costs; however, loved one D.F. gave a four-star rating for the sober living home's affordability.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/New+Life+Launch+Pad/@34.213302,-77.8767997,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m7!3m6!1s0x0:0xfb828edf88254739!8m2!3d34.213302!4d-77.874611!9m1!1b1" target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small></p>
