An essential element in the intermediate level of care we provide
at Gray Wolf is to help residents readjust to the world of ordinary
daily activity as clean and sober individuals. To accomplish this,
they participate in a variety of paid and volunteer activities, either
for individuals or in partnership with community agencies and organizations.
Some residents, especially as they become familiar with the resources
in the community, will engage in full- or part-time paid employment.
Others will offer an average of ten hours per work of volunteer services
ranging from landscaping and wooden boat repair to tutoring elementary
students or sharing their own recovery history with local middle
school students.
In addition to providing the residents an opportunity to practice recovery
principles in daily life, they have a safe, supportive environment
to return to at the end of the day to share the impact of their experiences
and to be affirmed for meeting life’s challenges without using
mood-altering chemicals |
