What to Expect in the Pine Lodge Program

A comprehensive assessment is conducted within days of admission, as well as an initial treatment plan starting the patient on the process of treatment goals. Treatment will generally be for 28 days, with occasional exceptions. Treatment planning and implementation is reviewed throughout a person's stay at Pine Lodge.

Pine Lodge has pre-established tasks that patients are expected to complete. Additional tasks are assigned to aid all individuals requiring special assistance in specific areas of dysfunction.

Awareness and understanding of the disease, its effect on self and others, is provided through the completion of tasks, attendance at lectures and films, as well as participation in the group process. Awareness and understanding of recovery needs are provided through the same process.

Participation in 12-step programs is required of all patients in treatment. Pine Lodge recognizes the vital need for 12-step program interaction, and seeks continual cooperation with all 12-step programs.

Pine Lodge provides referrals to services required by individual after their discharge. Persons completing treatment are encouraged to return for follow-up visits and contact is maintained through phone calls and emails.
