Our
Program
Graduates
of Epiphany House have been remarkably successful in maintaining
a drug-free lifestyle. Since 1989 when we first opened,
70 percent of all graduates have remained drug-free, in
permanent housing, employed or in training, and without
new encounters with the law or child protective services.
We are convinced that such success results from a comprehensive
approach that addresses the issues of poverty, abuse and
homelessness which, if left untreated, contribute to relapse.
From referral through "graduation", women at Epiphany
House are encouraged to become active participants in their
own recovery. This process begins with a “plan for
progress” which they and the staff develop together.
This plan is then put into action through therapy, education,
and practice.
Vocational development and employment are necessary and
practical for a resident's livelihood. Assistance in locating
housing resources is provided as well, and a formal aftercare
plan is developed for each resident prior to the time of
discharge.
