Case Management		The Case Management team takes a person-centered approach to address the complexity of needs for our patients. An initial intake and history provides the means for relationship building, in addition to a deeper appreciation of the individual’s story and struggles. Our case managers meet at least once a week with each patient, then formulate care plans during weekly interdisciplinary team meetings. They work to obtain entitlements, benefits, and legal documents such as birth certificates and identification cards. They also help facilitate re-connection and reunification with family for many patients. Additionally, our case managers provide referrals to outside community resources such as intensive in-patient recovery programs, mental health services, transitional living programs, nursing homes and vocational training programs. Above all, the Case Management team at Christ House works to empower the individual to create positive change and achieve a better quality of life.
Substance Use Disorder Treatment		Patients at Christ House struggling with substance use are given the opportunity to participate in our New Day Treatment Program. This nine-week, intensive, in-house recovery program was initiated in 2000 and is led by our Certified Addictions Counselor. When medically appropriate, patients may be referred to long-term substance abuse treatment outside of Christ House. Members of our Kairos Program meet weekly with our addictions staff. Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings are held four times a week at Christ House and are open to the community.
