The Residential program provides intensive residential
treatment that features:
- Residential services
and three nutritious meals a day
- Individual therapy
(our client-to-counselor ratio is ten-to-one)
- Lectures and group
therapy classes in "life skills" such as parenting,
nutrition and personal organization
- Spiritual awareness
(Mariners Inn programs are non-denominational)
- Educational
assistance for clients working to earn high school equivalency
diplomas
- Vocational
assessments to facilitate a more focused job search and employment
readiness program inclusive of referrals for those who need them.
The program also meets the specific needs of clients who
are HIV-positive.
Mariners Inn clients are referred by the Department of Health and Wellness Promotions
Bureau of Substance Abuses’ Access Assessment and Referral Service
(AARS) , community organizations, families and friends, but admission is
voluntary: each man (18 or older) must be motivated to pursue treatment and
participate in our program.
· Mariners Inn is not a
detoxification center; clients must be sober at the time of admission and
must remain drug and alcohol free throughout their stay here.
