81 <br /> the client would like to achieve while living in this supportive environment. The <br /> substance use halfway house is a structured, six-month residential program that is <br /> staffed 24 hours a day, seven days per week by trained and certified Peers who help the <br /> client solve problems, connect to resources, and stabilize their mental and physical <br /> health. <br /> Peers also facilitate evidence-based practices such as Wellness Recovery Action Planning <br /> (WRAP), Wellness, Management and Recovery (WMR), and other life skills groups to <br /> help clients develop critical living and coping skills. The interdisciplinary treatment team <br /> and the client work together to ensure the strategies implemented are working for the <br /> client.The team meets weekly to evaluate each client's progress towards their recovery <br /> goals, behavioral health goals, physical health goals, and activities of daily living goals. <br /> When appropriate, the goals will be updated or changed as they are achieved or as the <br /> client becomes clearer about their desires for the future. FHRC takes recovery as a step- <br /> by-step process that includes several small victories in route to the goal of long-term <br /> recovery and stability. <br /> The FHRC clinician and PSS will also serve as liaison between FHRC and the ORD staff. <br /> With proper consents in place,the FHRC clinician and PSS will advise ORD of each <br /> Lantern client's progress towards their goals and assist with tracking outcomes. The <br /> FHRC staff will communicate with ORD weekly via scheduled case conferences, or as <br /> needed,to review each client's care and progress throughout treatment. ORD will also <br /> communicate with FHRC as needed to convey new referrals and to update the FHRC <br /> clinician and PSS on each client's status around court involvement/appearances. FHRC <br /> PSS also aids the client in adhering to court ordered appearances and/or conditions. <br /> FHRC maintains a team approach to serving justice involved clients. During weekly team <br /> meetings the interdisciplinary team will discuss the needs and challenges faced by <br /> clients to connect them with a broader service array. The treatment team discussion can <br /> begin when the client engages with FHRC clinician regardless of whether they are still <br /> incarcerated or living in the community. In the treatment team meeting is where the <br /> FHRC staff discuss the unmet needs of their current or soon to be released clients. The <br /> Lantern PPS and clinician also work to ensure that in addition to treatment, we address <br /> the social determinants of health as well.This includes ensuring the client is enrolled in <br /> Medicaid so they can see a physician,the client is connected to proper housing and food <br /> options, helping with job skills training and/or employment opportunities as well as <br /> other identified needs. As with all our clients, FHRC encourages ongoing connection to <br /> some level of treatment support for up to 12 months—which most experts agree is the <br /> length of time recommended for "sustained recovery" exemplified by significant <br /> improvements in life functioning and decreased incidents of relapse. <br /> 4 <br />
