to the recovery process. It offers an opportunity for individuals
to practice the skills and techniques being attained, whiling having
the freedom to re-gain relationships and learn new ways of living.
Having this testing ground integrated into the program is an innovative
and vital feature.
“As
a mother, having the option of seeing my children on a weekly
basis was the main reason that I was even willing to receive
the help I needed. The Joshua House worked with me and my family’s
rigorous schedule; for that, I will ever be grateful.”

Phase Two: Sober Tracking
During our Sober Tracking individuals live independently
and return to our center for drug and alcohol screening, weekly
group sessions and access to the program.
Whether in-state or out of state, individuals
may discharge completely and follow up with our Sober Tracking
services, whether on-line or via conference call as an option.
- Sober Tracking is 90 days
- Sober Tracking is
where individuals:
-
Move home or into an independent living situation
- Continue
to receive:
- Connecting to customized Individual Therapy
- Group therapy
- Family education
- Receive random drug and/or alcohol testing
- Continue mentoring with staff from The Joshua House/The Steele
House
Sober tracking is essential because it gives
individuals full independence while continuing to be held accountable
to a caring network that has assisted them in their recovery for
the previous 90 days.
ALPINE TREATMENT SERVICES cherishes each relationship
they foster, and work hard to build a solid relationship that will
be maintained as they transition. It is our goal to ensure that
this transition is as painless as possible.
SERVICES OFFERED
As the recovery process continues, individuals
receive continued support and guidance to gain necessary tools
for this level of care. It is an opportunity for individuals
to prove to themselves, and to others, that they have the ability
to maintain a healthy, balanced and sober lifestyle. The importance
of having the care and support of caring staff is imperative.
Individuals are given the proper amount of freedom to test the
waters, while having a safe place to call home.
Phase One is trust-based, with the belief that
trust is the greatest human motivator. Trust is re-enforced through
the program in a variety of ways. The importance of caring staff
to provide guidance regarding the balance of freedom and accountability
is essential. As trust is proven and earned, a new confidence comes
over the resident as they step toward independence.
Such an element is essential for long term
sobriety. The unique feature that ALPINE TREATMENT offers through
The Joshua House is that individuals are given the proper time
and space to practice what they learn. In other words, they are
able to live a “normal
life” while at The Joshua House, while being held accountable
for their sobriety and goals. The intention of The Joshua House
is not to pull individuals out of their families or current situations
completely. It is to take the necessary time needed to re-build
relationships that have been damaged, and allow the individuals
to slowly re-build their lives and re-gain their independence.
The Joshua House offers a “real world” experience
with the structure and support offered by the program, including
providing all:
- Bed and lodging
- Food – including a meal plan,
by a nutritionist, with a variety of healthy and nutritious
food choices
- Psychological-educational groups
- Access to Customized Individual therapy
- Family Program
- A shuttle service for all transportation needs
- Gym pass

- Aid in filling out FAFSA for Financial Aid
- Contingency management (a reward based system where individuals

- Sober Activities:

The Joshua House prides itself on anonymity
and security for each individual. During a stay, individuals can

identity will be protected.

WHAT TO EXPECT
The Joshua House offers 6 beds – including 4 private rooms
and 1 shared room; the interior of the facility creates a soothing
and tranquil environment – a perfect backdrop for re-building.
The Joshua House is nestled among the beautiful Rocky Mountains,
minutes from the mouth of Provo Canyon.
At The Joshua House we believe that implementing
a well-balanced diet is imperative during early sobriety. This
is why we incorporate a dietician approved menu. Although individuals
are ultimately responsible for preparing their own meals during
this Phase, they have the opportunity to work with caring staff
to teach them how to create healthy and nutritious meals. Each
client has the ability to utilize this meal plan during Phase 2.
The Joshua House cares about answering
all questions and concerns that might arise. The program’s focus is on guiding and inspiring
individuals to gain the tools and confidence necessary for a lifetime
of sobriety. The number one goal of The Joshua House is to teach
individuals how to enjoy and celebrate life while continuing to
be accountable and responsible for their actions and reactions
to life’s challenges.
The Joshua House is committed to the sobriety
and recovery of each resident individually. The professional team
of ALPINE TREATMENT SERVICES offers expertise about the disease
of addiction, offering a strong support system for each individual.
Smoking is permitted at The Joshua House. However, individuals
are required to smoke in designated outdoor areas only.
The Joshua House holds to the belief that
recovery is not an event, but a process.
