In addition, SHAWL utilizes a social work model of Case Management. Residents are provided weekly counseling and case management to assist with their recovery efforts. With support of our counselors, each residents sets her own goals, develops her own timetable and own measurements for success. The case management plan covers all aspects of the resident’s life including but not limited to addictions, legal status, education, health issues and family issues. Emotional problems, mental health diagnoses and other personal issues are incorporated into the case management plan as well. SHAWL is also able to provide referrals for medical, dental, mental health, legal and housing services. All residents make a commitment to work with an AA or NA sponsor and have a weekly meeting with the sponsor of their choice. Guidelines are set by SHAWL staff to ensure that residents stay focused on their program and are made accountable for the work that is done with their sponsor. |
