Lecture Schedule For Evening Program

A fundamental aspect of the intensive evening outpatient treatment program is education about substance abuse. This occurs during the first half-hour of each evening session. Because the education program is designed to provide the essential information for building a strong personal program of recovery, it is essential that you come to each of the sessions and arrive on time. Although you may enter the program at any time, when you complete the eight weeks, you will have attended a complete sequence of lectures and will have heard several guest speakers. Normally, the lecture series consists of the following:

Week One:MON:The Disease of Addiction/Disease Progression
WED:The Family Disease 
THU:Guest speaker
Week Two:MON:Recovery is... 
WED:The Enabling Film
THU:Recovery is...
