<p><strong>ABOUT RECOVERY POINT OF HUNTINGTON</strong></p> <p>Previously known as The Healing Place, Recovery Point of Huntington offers <strong>free long-term residential addiction treatment to men</strong>. The West Virginia rehab center opened in 2011, modeled after <a href="http://www.rehabs.com/listings/the-healing-place-men-s-campus-1375698522/" target="_blank">The Healing Place of Louisville</a>, emphasizes 12-step concepts and peer leadership. <strong>Non-medical detox services</strong> are available on-site. Recovery Point also operates a women's transitional house in Huntington.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Typically, admission involves a waiting list, though clients may speed up their admission by calling and attending meetings. Detox, if necessary, lasts <strong>three to seven days</strong>, during which clients are monitored by staff trained in CPR and first aid. Clients <strong>attend in-house meetings and classes and are screened</strong> for their eligibility to join the residential program. Potential clients are oriented to the facility and introduced to <strong>12-step principles</strong>. </p> <p>Clients enrolled "off the street" attend daily classes, participate in 12-step meetings, and <strong>receive education in addiction</strong>. New clients are assigned "72-hour buddies", the first of <strong>a series of peer mentors</strong> who model appropriate social and life skills for clients.</p> <p>The two phases of treatment rely heavily on 12-Step and peer mentoring in conjunction with a 28-lesson curriculum. Clients participate in a <a href="https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/research-reports/therapeutic-communities/what-therapeutic-communitys-approach" target="_blank">therapeutic community</a>, prioritizing <strong>group decision-making and accountability</strong>. Clients attend classes and meetings initially focused on behavioral changes. The program also uses <strong>work therapy</strong>, asking clients to perform work in exchange for room and board. <strong>Drug testing is also required of clients</strong>.</p> <p>After completing the main rehab program, clients can continue on as paid peer mentors or <strong>move to transitional housing</strong>, at which time they must maintain an outside job, pay rent for boarding, and attend <strong>five 12-step meetings per week</strong>. At step 10 of the program, additional support services are available through <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/extended-recovery-programs/" target="_blank">aftercare</a>, including ones for education, housing, employment, and legal concerns.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>According to Recovery Point's website, peer mentors who have completed the Recovery Point program serve as the main treatment staff. Each peer mentor facilitates meetings and receives a caseload of eight to 10 clients at one time.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>The Huntington facility accommodates up to <strong>100 men at a time</strong>.
