Chemical dependency is a progressive disease which may be
arrested and thus allow the person to live a full, happy and rewarding life. We at KEEP IT GREEN operate on the premise that
each person who seeks our services is a person of dignity and worth, capable of solving their own problems, and possesses
the ability to regain control of their own life. It is proven that 80% of recovering people relapse after treatment because
they did not receive aftercare, a functional support system and were not in a structured living environment. Recovery from
chemical dependency requires attention and support to the mental, emotional and spiritual needs of the individual. Here at
KEEP IT GREEN we will provide a structured and supportive environment for recovering addicts who have completed a residential
or outpatient substance abuse program. We will work with recovering addicts to discover and use personal and community resources
of which they may not be aware of. We believe in addressing these needs in a group setting. Here the individual through interaction
and support from the other residents are encouraged to be responsible for their own recovery. Our basic principle in designing
this program is to provide structure to the environment that will allow development of drug free living skills. Our program
philosophy has an ongoing emphasis from the day of admission on relapse prevention.
