Click through the phases to learn about the major parts of The Refuge recovery program.
Discovery
Men spend their first 30–45 days focusing on themselves, identifying and beginning to address the underlying issues that led to addiction. During this time, residents enter a safe and structured environment that is free from many of the external pressures and distractions of everyday life, allowing them to focus fully on their healing and recovery.
Relational
Men will continue focusing on their personal growth. During this time, they will also begin rebuilding relationships with friends and family. Residents will participate in group and individual mental health and substance use counseling as they work toward a healthier life
Application
Residents begin working part-time or full-time while continuing their recovery journey. This phase helps men learn to navigate the daily responsibilities and pressures of work and life while building healthy routines. Throughout this time, residents continue receiving counseling, case management, and strong community support as they prepare for long-term stability and success.
Launch
Residents in the final phase focus on preparing for life after The Refuge. They live in recovery housing alongside other men committed to sobriety while working toward stable employment, transportation, and long-term housing. This phase helps men build sustainable routines and remain connected to Refuge alumni for ongoing support and accountability as they transition back into everyday life.
