OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL INTENSIVES
TECHNOLOGY FREE ENVIRONMENT - Our workshops are hyper-focused on kickstarting your recovery. Due to their intense nature, we will be requesting you turn off your cell phones, laptops, and all electronic devices for the duration of the program. This will limit distractions, ensuring you take the most stable next step of recovery possible. If you are concerned about minor children and/or emergencies, we recommend that you call in the morning or leave a video recording for them.
We suggest you bring everything you would minimally bring for an overnight trip: A change of clothes and basic toiletries. For the workshop you will need to bring a journal and pen/pencil so that you may take any desired extra notes after the sessions have ended. This journal can be a valuable tool later in your recovery.
LODGING AND MEALS - Our intensives are currently held in Baton Rouge, LA at our office. Nearby reasonably priced accommodations are available on Bluebonnet Blvd, Essen Lane, Siegen Lane, or College Drive. If you choose to fly, your options include either Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (BTR) or the New Orleans (MSY) airport. If you already reside within the Baton Rouge area, we suggest staying at a local hotel to maximize the experience. Meals are provided.
AFTERCARE - We view our intensives as a kickstart in taking your next step in recovery. During the program it is likely you will identify areas you wish to address with an individual counselor while continuing your recovery journey. We will help tailor an aftercare plan to specifically meet your recovery needs and will work with your local therapist in providing discharge summaries and our clinical recommendations.
COST - These workshops provide the equivalent of 4-8 months of counseling in an abbreviated amount of time. Prices includes all workshop materials. Contact us for pricing.
