Mariners Inn

The
Transitional Housing (TH) Program is a supportive, semi-independent living
experience available to up to 36 men who have successfully completed the
Mariners Inn Residential Treatment Program. To participate in TH, men must be
able to achieve self-sufficiency and be employment ready.

 

The
TH Program offers living space and meals in a recovering community of sober men
for a period of usually 6 months and up to two years. TH offers the opportunity
to work on all aspects of total recovery from substance abuse and homelessness.
Each individual works on his own specific goals established with the assistance
of the TH staff.

MER provides continuity
of services beyond Mariners Inn’s Residential Treatment Program. MER serves up
to 28 men who have completed substance abuse treatment but are not yet ready to
pursue independent living because of medical or mental health issues,
disabilities, legal problems, poor work history, educational deficits, or other
issues. MER provides long-term supportive and preventative services to enable
clients to overcome these issues and make a successful transition into
independent living, greatly reducing their likelihood of relapse into
homelessness and substance abuse.

·                    
Family Therapy Program: Provides services to all
members of the residents' families, so that they can support residents once
they leave treatment. Family issues resulting from the residents' past
substance abuse are addressed to help prevent the cycle of addiction in other
family members, primarily the residents' children. Couples’ therapy is also
available.

·                    
Strengthening Families Program: This program is grounded in the
Strengthening Families Program (SFP) Model, which is evidence based with proven
results. The goal is to reunite clients with their families, educate children
on the disease of addiction, and teach parenting skills. The program also uses
family systems and cognitive behavioral approaches to increase children’s
resilience and reduce risk factors for behavioral, emotional, academic, and
social problems.

·                    
The Career Initiative Center (CIC) provides
off-site substance abuse services to men and women who are homeless and looking
to stabilize their lives through employment and sobriety.

·                    
Alumni and Outreach Program: Provides follow-up and ongoing substance
abuse counseling, recreational activities, and skill-building sessions to help
former clients maintain a life of sobriety. The Youth Prevention Program also
provides preventative outreach in schools.
