What is a Step-down Treatment Program for Women?

At Grace and Emerge Recovery, we recognize that the path to recovery takes each woman somewhere different. No matter where you’ve been or where you’re going, we’ll walk with you. Our custom-curated six-to-twelve-month step-down program is thoughtfully designed to support women at different stages of their healing journey from addiction, trauma, and mental health challenges. 

We believe that to heal the whole woman, successful recovery treatment must contain four vital components: medical, therapeutic, spiritual, and family. These Four Tenets infuse our three phases to create the most comprehensive outpatient step-down program available nation-wide.

Through a structured three-phase approach – Restore, Refine, and Reclaim – we ensure that every individual receives the care, guidance, and support they need.

Our Three-Phased Approach to Recovery

At Grace and Emerge Recovery TX, we understand that the journey to healing and recovery is multifaceted and deeply personal. To best support each woman's unique path, we've crafted a structured yet flexible three-phased approach: Restore, Refine, and Reclaim. Each phase is meticulously designed to cater to the evolving needs and challenges faced at different stages of recovery, ensuring that every individual is met with compassion, expertise, and unwavering support.

Restore

The Restore Phase represents the beginning of a transformative journey towards healing and recovery and typically lasts for around 45 to 60 days. Tailored specifically for women, this initial stage ensures a supportive and nurturing environment, laying a robust foundation for the subsequent phases of recovery. 

The Restore Phase is all about beginning anew. By focusing on stabilization, intensive support, and identification of areas for personal growth, we aim to empower women to confidently embark on their healing journey.

Medical

In the Restore phase, our individuals benefit from weekly meetings with our experienced psychiatric team. This ensures a consistent assessment of their emotional and psychological well-being. The staff monitors the taking of prescribed medications, ensuring both safety and adherence. Further enhancing our comprehensive medical support, each individual attends a specialized "Well" women's doctor appointment, where any specific medical needs or concerns are addressed. Finally, we employ appropriate psychiatric and genetic testing to understand individualized requirements better and tailor our approaches accordingly.

Therapeutic

Individuals engage in group therapy sessions five days a week, enabling shared experiences and mutual support. The importance of individual attention cannot be overstated; hence, personal therapy sessions with dedicated therapists are integral. Moreover, our individualized program electives offer individuals a chance to delve deeper into specific areas of their recovery. At the same time, the therapeutic living community we foster is central to the healing process, in that it provides an environment conducive to openness, trust, and growth.

Spiritual

Spiritual well-being often forms the core of genuine healing. Daily practices like morning prayer and meditation set a positive tone for the day. Weekly, individuals attend four recovery meetings, ensuring they're aligned with their spiritual goals. We've instituted a wellness activity five times a week, fostering holistic health. The “Family Dinner”, a ritual held five days a week, creates a sense of unity and shared purpose. Our monthly community events, evening wrap-ups, and the mandatory service commitment further amplify this spirit of togetherness. Additionally, the experiential coaching sessions, breathwork, and therapeutic trauma yoga provide invaluable guidance on their spiritual journey.

Family

We believe that family plays a pivotal role in the recovery process. Weekly family therapy sessions are scheduled, but only when deemed clinically appropriate, to maintain the individual's best interests. We also facilitate a weekly family support group via Zoom, ensuring accessibility and continuous engagement. Family will receive weekly updates from the Clinical Director and Case Manager.

Medical Independence

The journey towards self-reliance takes a significant leap in the Reclaim Phase. Clients have monthly consultations with our esteemed psychiatric team, ensuring that even as they gain independence, expert oversight is never too far away. Emphasizing personal responsibility, clients are entrusted with medication self-administration and management. This autonomy is balanced with weekly pill counts, promoting adherence, trust, and self-awareness.

Therapeutic Integration

The ever-supportive environment of our therapeutic living community continues to be a pillar in this phase.

Clients partake in three recovery meetings every week, reaffirming their commitment to spiritual growth. Optional wellness activities such as breathwork and yoga for trauma provide flexibility, allowing each woman to tailor her spiritual and holistic well-being practices according to her needs. The blend of monthly community events, evening wrap-ups, and the commencement of work or school signifies a harmonious integration of spiritual insights into practical daily life.

This ensures continuous open dialogue, mutual growth, and celebration of shared milestones. The weekly family support group remains accessible via Zoom, fostering a digital community of understanding, shared experiences, and mutual encouragement.
