The transitional living program was developed by the Treatment Alternatives for Mental Health and Development (TAMAD) which includes a 12-step program that is facilitated by licensed psychotherapists. The goal of the sober living program is to assist individuals and families experiencing difficulty with issues resulting from substance abuse, alcoholism, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or other related conditions. In an effort to help these individuals and families, the transitional program helps them transition through the various stages of recovery, or “stages,” by targeting specific problem areas and providing customized support. The program also works closely with legal, medical and mental health professionals, and people suffering from addiction, in an effort to provide comprehensive, quality care. The Stages of Care work in tandem with a comprehensive substance abuse treatment plan and a quality relapse prevention/rehabilitation process. The Stages of Care approach has helped a large number of individuals and families in and around Avondale, Arizona meet their recovery goals and objectives.
