At Heartwood Recovery in Austin, TX we strongly believe in the 12-step approach to recovery. Clients are required to be actively working a program with an emphasis on action. This includes having a sponsor, working the steps, attending meetings, and being of service. Throughout their stay, clients should progress through the steps, make amends, and begin to sponsor others.
The goal in the first month is to build a foundation, and a brotherhood. Fellowship and camaraderie are vital in the recovery process. We make it our goal to provide a space and opportunity to thrive and connect with others. The communities from each house meet together on a weekly basis for a combined meeting.
There are two mandatory big book study groups per week at Heartwood. Clients will read from the book and share their experience, strength and hope with one another. Along with topic discussions, clients will also check in with one another and share how their program is going. This allows clients, as well as managers, the opportunity to provide feedback and accountability.
Accountability is crucial in the recovery process. Our staff provides accountability in areas such as their 12-step program, employment, house policies, relationships, etc. Heartwood prides itself on maintaining an atmosphere where clients hold one another accountable.
Random drug and alcohol testing is included for all clients throughout their stay. We use a variety of testing methods. Lab testing is only required under suspicious circumstances.
Being physically active is a key component to living a recovered life. At Heartwood, a Gold's Gym membership is included for all clients. If physical fitness becomes a cross addiction the issue will be addressed by staff. Healthy balance in this area is key
At Heartwood Recovery Sober Living, we require a minimum verbal commitment of 3 months. Most clients come straight from a 30/60/90 day inpatient program. We strongly encourage our clients to stay for 6 months. Individual circumstances are considered when discussing length of stay, however research suggests that sustainability is more often achieved with a long-term approach.
We also provide sound advice regarding discharge planning. Well in advance, clients should be discussing their next step with their sponsor, family, friends, and staff. A solid discharge plan is crucial for long-term success.
Clients will provide their own food for the house. Clients should bring a few weeks worth of clothes. Clients also supply their own toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, body wash, etc.)
Clients should bring a minimum 30-day supply of medications. All medications must be disclosed and approved by staff.
Clients are allowed to have their cell phones and laptops while in sober living, however, electronics are not to be used during any mandatory meetings. Vehicles are allowed while in sober living.
