Intro

"The Colorado Model"

Thoughts on Open Community Care in the

Treatment of Chronic Relapsing Addicts and Alcoholics

How It Works 1

Open Model of Care

Jaywalker Lodge and Solutions Programs have developed a model of care that revolves around what William White, MA referred to as the Recovery Management Model. At its core is community, and the belief that for treatment to be effective, some portion of it must take place in a real life community setting. Some of the aspects of this type of extended care treatment include:

Initiating Life in Recovery
Application
Peer Directed
Community Setting
12-Step Immersion
Structured, hectic re-entry into real life recovery

How It Works 2

Getting to Recovery

We believe that there is a proven path that drastically improves the chances of success. The Lodge and Solutions programs represent both Extended and Transitional Care, respectively.

Primary Care - 30 - 45 days - detox, secluded, education, counselor-driven

Extended Care - 90 +/- days - immersed, structured, peer-driven, community orientated

Transitional Care - 90 +/- days - freedom, self-driven, accountability

How It Works 3

Immersed In Community

A bird's eye view of how our campus is set up - total immersion in the community. Instead of seclusion, clients experience treatment without walls - making their recovery a true to life, real experience.

Key Elements in Our Model

There are three key elements to the Open Community Model:

Trust - both from client-to-program & program-to-client
Alumni Involvement - mentorship with newer clients
Service - giving back freely to greater community

Developing & Earning Trust

Trust levels fluctuate as the client progresses through the program from phase to phase:

Phase 1 - 80:20 containment to community in the first 90 days...
Phase 2 - Trust ratio 'evolves' to 20:80 containment to community.

Being of Service

Clients learn what it means to be over service to their environment without expectation of payment.

Experience is educational.
Structured and organized.
Staff and community participate with and among clients.
Prior preparation, supervision during and processing afterwards are essential.

Alumni Involvement

Our alumni are our greatest asset. We provide:

Networking Opportunities - via our alumni blog
Alumni Events - Expeditions & Activities
Volunteer Opportunity

In return:

Study outcomes
Clients experience important contact with men who have 'been there, done that.'

At Jaywalker Lodge, we believe individuals who return to rehab treatment do so for many reasons – but none more important than the failure to grasp and fully personalize Step One of the 12 Steps Program. Clients at Jaywalker will examine the impact of drugs and alcohol in all aspects of their lives through the writing and sharing of sections of their own life stories. This “section” work reveals the underlying truth about each individual’s struggles with addiction and recovery.
