About 
Metamorphosis
(Meta) is a long-term, clinically managed, high-intensity residential
therapeutic community (TC) appropriate for adults with moderate to severe
substance use disorders or suffering from a co-occurring mental health and
substance abuse condition. Most participants at Meta have acute
multi-dimensional needs, including recurrent criminality and an array of other interrelated
maladaptive cognitive and interpersonal deficits that cannot be treated safely
or effectively at a less intense level of care facility. The length of stay at
Meta typically ranges from 6-12 months, however, because Meta is a phase driven
program that mirrors the sequence
of challenges often faced by individuals as they move from a socially
maladaptive lifestyle to one that is anticipated to be more pro-social and
recovery oriented, a resident’s
time in treatment is principally determined by their goal achievement as
identified on their individualized treatment plan as well as their ability to
consistently role-model appropriate behavior within the therapeutic community.
Aftercare & Support
Upon
completion of the residential program, recent graduates can expand their
recovery support system by participating in Meta’s Aftercare or Recovery
Support Programs. With guidance from
dedicated and knowledgeable clinical staff, members participating in either of
these two programs learn to create sustainable recovery plans, which can
include, but is not limited to, transitional housing placement, vocational
counseling, mental health treatment, medication-assisted therapy, and self-help
recovery programming. This component of
the Meta program emphases relapse prevention and is designed to help program
graduates continue to bolster their long-term recovery efforts as well as
significantly reduce the likelihood of any criminal reoffending. True Population Served Adult (18+) men and women who have an extensive history of moderate to severe substance use. False Services Provided Metamorphosis (Meta) is a long-term,
