The Reintegration Phase
The “820 Residential Reintegration” phase is critical for those who are homeless or whose home environment is not conducive to recovery. It offers a supervised setting—either congregate or scattered-site—where residents practice their recovery skills while transitioning toward full independence. Treatment involvement is reduced to a minimum of five hours per week as clients integrate back into employment, education, or other community activities. This gradual approach minimizes shocks and maximizes the chances of a smooth, successful transition, providing a necessary bridge between intensive treatment and independent living.
