Supportive Living

Supportive Living Program for Adults

A structured living environment is important to sustain life-long recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. We understand that returning home after primary treatment is not always the best option for every person.

The Supportive Living Program at Fairbanks offers an opportunity for patients to transition from inpatient treatment to outpatient treatment or recovery management programming. Residents are encouraged to stay at SLP for at least nine weeks; however, many choose to stay longer.

First Step Supportive Living for adults (SLP) offers a structured environment where individuals can develop and practice life-skills while maintaining a drug and alcohol-free lifestyle. Our supportive living apartments provide a safe and sober environment as they begin a new life.

SLP services provided include:

Literacy program
Residents work one on one with National Honor Society students in an adult learning program.
Job readiness program
Residents learn important skills about interviewing, resume writing and dressing professionally.
Employment agency
A local employment agency meets with residents and assists them in learning how to apply for job opportunities.
Financial counseling
A local bank assists residents in gaining information about managing money and budgeting.
Healthcare
Residents have the opportunity to partner with the Wishard Advantage Program to receive access to affordable healthcare services.
Transportation
A Fairbanks can provides transportation to and from treatment programs and support meetings.
Food pantry
Opportunities for shopping at the Fairbanks food pantry are provided weekly.

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

Cindy came to Fairbanks with the desire to put her drug-using lifestyle behind her.

Now, she is an active volunteer through Fairbanks’ alumni services.

She helps greet individuals and families as they take their first step in seeking treatment at Fairbanks. She helps ease their anxiety by sharing her story. Cindy describes her life as active and full of opportunities to succeed and assist others. She feels that her future, without drugs and alcohol, has a lot in store for her.

“During my use, I described myself as living on the dark side of the moon, but now I am on a brighter side. On this side I feel like I am supposed to help others who are struggling. So I keep reaching out to them, which also keeps me sober.”

The disease of addiction often affects the entire family. When Melinda’s mother, Adell, was struggling with alcoholism, Melinda found herself feeling hopeless.

“Before my mother embraced treatment and recovery, I was certain that her addiction was going to kill her,” said Melinda. “I came to Fairbanks because I didn’t know what else to do, or where else to go. I just knew that we needed help. I told my mother that I couldn’t help her, but I knew a place that could.” That place was Fairbanks.

“Recovery means bringing life back to a loved one, and it has truly been a blessing for her, our family and me,” said Melinda. “I’m indebted to Fairbanks forever.”

Debra, a former patient who now volunteers at Fairbanks, says that the best thing she received from her time in recovery here, was when she left.

“I had to face life on my own, and I learned I wasn’t afraid anymore – I could feel the peace.”

Being at Fairbanks, Debra says, helped her find the woman she’s been hiding all these years. “When I look in the mirror, I can say I actually like this person,” she says. “I had to deal with all my emotions and stuff. Before recovery, my emotions were in a bottle.”

“My biggest thrill is talking with the other women at Fairbanks,” she says. “They think I’m helping them…they’re helping me.”
