About Tradition One
Established in 1971, this center provides residential rehabilitation for adult males facing challenges related to drug and alcohol dependence, including those with co-existing mental health issues. As a nonprofit organization, it fosters a supportive, structured environment where individuals from the criminal justice system can seek help for extended durations. To facilitate significant recovery, residents are required to commit to a minimum stay of 90 days.
The center employs a combination of evidence-based methodologies and the Twelve Step approach, incorporating individual and group therapy, educational sessions, and strategies for preventing relapse. Each week features ten educational groups, six clinical therapy sessions, and personalized counseling meetings. Additionally, topics such as anger management, conflict resolution, and job readiness are addressed to equip residents with skills essential for long-term success.
Residents are encouraged to take an active role in daily operations, maintaining their living spaces and assisting with household activities. Meals are prepared on-site, and clients engage within a community that emphasizes service, structure, and recovery. The peaceful, shared environment, complemented by social and recreational opportunities, promotes personal development and a sense of belonging, guiding men toward their recovery journey.
