The majority of clients who are assigned Recovery Mentor services are involved in our intensive outpatient/Day Treatment program; some clients may be waiting for a residential treatment bed to come open or be stepping down from residential treatment into the Day Treatment program. Recovery Mentors are not counselors or clinicians but provide supports to clients that counselors are not able to offer. The Recovery Mentor works with their supervisor to design and implement education, referral, and parent components of the program. The Recovery Mentor is responsible for helping to facilitate classes and support groups along with group activities. They will maintain a personal recovery program, if applicable, as well as model recovery-appropriate behavior.
