Emergency Phase – Your First 30 Days

Every new resident begins in our Emergency Phase, a safe and supportive time focused on helping you stabilize and prepare for long-term healing. During these first 30 days, we make sure your basic needs are met, help you obtain important documents, and assist with enrolling in health insurance, food stamps, and medical and mental health care. At the end of this phase, we’ll meet with you to decide together if our long-term residential program is the right next step for your journey.

Long-Term Residential Program

Following the Emergency Phase, residents may enter our Long-Term Residential Program, which typically lasts up to one year and is tailored to each person’s goals and needs. During this phase, residents receive individual and group therapy, SAIOP services, vocational training, and evidence-based support classes on topics like recovery, codependency, healthy communication, and boundaries. Residents also have the opportunity  to obtain their GED or continuing education classes to support their future goals. In addition, they attend church weekly and participate in a faith-based recovery program as they build a strong foundation for lasting healing and stability.

The room has hardwood floors and contemporary decor.

Transitional Cottage

After completing the Long-Term Residential Program, residents have the option to move into our Transitional Cottage, located on the same property but in a separate home. This step allows graduates to begin living more independently while still having access to our program’s support services if they choose. During this time, we help residents explore job opportunities, build life skills, and continue working toward long-term stability and self-sufficiency.

Magnolia House — Independent Living

In this phase, residents can independently commute to work and appointments while continuing to receive support as they transition into full independence. Residents contribute a weekly or monthly fee to live at Magnolia House, participate in weekly meetings with fellow residents, and meet monthly with their case manager. The focus during this stage is on saving money, practicing budgeting, and securing safe, sustainable long-term housing. Case managers remain available to provide guidance as needed. Magnolia House offers residents extra time and support to prepare for life on their own and helps reduce the risk of re-victimization.
