Intensive Residential Program (IRT)

Intensive Residential Program (IRT) is a program for adult males who suffer from severe substance use disorder(s).  It is a phased program that typically requires 90 days to complete.  It is designed to:  

•    Improve the person’s ability to structure and organize the tasks of daily living.

•    Stabilize and maintain remission of substance use disorders.

•    Help the person develop and apply sufficient recovery skills.

•    Develop and practice prosocial behaviors.

IRT incorporates specific, evidence based treatment curriculum tailored to address substance abuse, trauma, and criminogenic risk reduction.  IRT is  structured and offers around-the-clock supervision with a variety of counseling, education, and therapy services.  Treatment consists of 40-43 hours a week of group therapy, individual therapy, and targeted case management aimed at developing the skills necessary for successful continuation of treatment in a lower level of care.  

Typically, upon completion of IRT people are referred to an Intensive Outpatient Program for continued care.

Admission into IRT can be the result of a referral from the Criminal Justice system, community partners, family, or from an individual who is interested in treatment.  Placement in IRT is considered if community-based treatment services do not prove effective.
