They’ve provided timely and responsive care to people seeking recovery from substance misuse for over 45 years. They promote whole health through low cost and high quality addiction recovery.

Work Focused Halfway House
Clayton House offers a structured and supportive space for people in the transitional stage of recovery. This makes the program suitable for folks who have completed detox or possibly residential inpatient care. They may refer you to a detox or inpatient facility if you’re struggling with withdrawal symptoms or need intensive medical care. You can also be accepted in the program if you’re at the early stage of recovery provided you’re stable and committed to the program’s expectations.
The facility is best described as a “working” halfway house. This is because the recovery approach is very much work-oriented. You’re required to work 35 hours weekly beginning within 30 days of admission. This helps you build a steady routine and encourages vocational skills development that’ll benefit you upon reentry into the real world. It not only supports financial independence post-recovery but also helps rebuild confidence and responsibility. The structure creates a sense of purpose and keeps your mind focused on growth and recovery.
You’re also mandated to actively participate in group and individual therapy sessions. This is to help you address the underlying causes of your substance use, build strong coping skills and prevent relapse. The program also involves participation in community based self help group to build connections and find ongoing support. Balancing work and recovery this way you a head start on transitioning back into everyday life.
