About Sun Street Centers
The Residential Recovery Program at Sun Street Centers is dedicated to assisting men dealing with substance abuse issues related to drugs and alcohol. Its primary focus is on preventing addiction through comprehensive education, treatment, and ongoing recovery assistance. The center employs a Social Model approach, viewing participants as learners rather than patients. This unique philosophy integrates professional counseling with peer encouragement and options for long-term care.
The program incorporates a variety of research-backed therapies and group support systems aimed at fostering healing. This includes classes from the Matrix Institute, such as Early Recovery and Relapse Awareness. Participants participate in 12-step meetings, find sponsors, and engage in recovery planning, communication skills development, and family involvement sessions. The overarching objective is to promote enduring recovery through education and community bonding.
Residents reside in a nurturing sober environment that cultivates a sense of fellowship. The facility is equipped with a shared kitchen, library, meeting spaces, and recreational areas. Participants are encouraged to take part in group activities, volunteer in the local community, and provide mutual support. After completing the program, options for aftercare include shared sober living arrangements to help maintain their recovery journey and sustain a healthy, drug-free lifestyle.
