Phase II (Weeks 6-9): 
Chart Your Course

Purpose

Participation in Phase II of the twelve-week Discover Recovery Inpatient Program increases your likelihood of sustaining recovery as you actively begin to implement the concepts you learned during Phase I. Phase II provides ongoing opportunities for guided practice using recovery-supportive skills you have started to develop. The primary purposes of Phase II are to:

1) Reinforce what you learned during the exploration and discovery process of the first phase.
 
2) Complete a comprehensive self-examination.
 
3) Begin the process of charting the course for your ongoing journey of recovery. 

This phase of the program allows more time for you to build, strengthen, and deepen recovery skills through applying the knowledge and behaviors you learned in Phase I in a supportive, structured, and supervised environment.

Philosophy

Phase II extends the LVRC inpatient treatment experience beyond five weeks in order to create additional opportunities for you to learn, grow, and heal. This occurs through activities that facilitate deeper self-awareness and understanding, in addition to providing a recovery-reinforcing environment where you can continue to practice healthy attitudes and behaviors. For many people in earliest recovery who have spent years avoiding feelings and burying emotions, it generally takes five weeks before these feelings even begin to emerge. During this phase you will participate in a detailed process that reviews your life from beginning to the present. We believe the progress you can make in moving forward is only limited by how far you are willing to look back. In order for you to have the information you need to begin charting your course for recovery, you will complete a self-examination and inventory (fourth step) during Phase II. The fourth step is an in-depth exploration regarding how addiction has affected you across a range of important life areas.
