Renascent provides an abstinence-based Virtual Intensive Treatment Program (VITP) as part of its continuum of care to help ensure clients can enter substance abuse treatment at a level appropriate to their needs. Clients in this program are able to step-up or down to a different intensity of treatment, if needed.
Renascent’s VITP allows clients to address their substance use disorder with support, safety, and structure. This includes:
- Intensive Treatment – six weeks
- Continuing Care (aftercare) Program – six months
- Alumni Care Program – lifetime membership
Family members and loved ones are invited to participate in Renascent’s Essential Family Care Program (Family Program) at no cost, including a four-week introduction to our family care workshop.
Clients are required to maintain abstinence and attend 12-step community meetings regularly while in the program.
Providing Complete Flexibility
Renascent’s VITP allows clients to continue with their lifestyle. They can be with loved ones as they live at home during recovery and keep-up with their jobs, schooling, and family commitments. This Program is a less intensive structure and works best for people who find a strong support system in their family and friends or who currently live in a structured supportive housing environment. It is part-time and does not require presence and participation 24-hours a day.
Renascent’s VITP provides flexibility to those who are unable to take time away from their regular lives. Programs are delivered over video and teleconference, and clients engage in group sessions twice a day, five days a week (Monday to Friday). Clients receive four or more individual counselling sessions or assessments over the six-week duration of the intensive treatment. Each session is one hour long and there are four types of sessions.
