Programmes
Clients live as a family, sharing all the tasks of running the house including catering, cleaning, gardening and providing their own entertainment. The more senior residents act as role models for the newer residents. Clients must be highly motivated to make positive lifestyle changes and open to Therapeutic Community Concepts of 'My Recovery is Your Recovery'. The four cornerstone model of Te Whare Tapa Wha is incorporated into assisting clients to make lifestyle changes.
