The journey from addiction to a healthy productive life takes time, commitment, and support. At Mini-Cassia Transtional Living (MCTL), we understand that recovery involves more than sobriety- it requires structure, guidance, accountability, and opportunities for personal growth.

Our program is designed to help women build a strong foundation for lasting recovery. Residents participate in life-skills training, mentoring, budgeting assistance, healthy social activities, and faith based support within a safe and structured environment.

When a woman enters MCTL, she begins our six-month foundational program, where she receives the tools, encouragement, and accountability needed to move forward with confidence and purpose. Upon successful completion, residents receive a Certificate of Achievment, which serves as a prerequisite for acceptance into our year-long transitional living program.

At MCTL, our goal is not to simply help women recover, but to equip them to thrive as they pursue a new life of stability, independance, and hope.

Life Skills Education/description and curriculum

Life skills classes are to promote healthy living.  The scheduled classes are intended to assist with finding and keeping employment, building integrity, budgeting finances, fostering healthy relationships with self and others, and changing the belief systems.

Mentor Sessions

Residents are required to meet with their mentor once a week. Mentors go over the residents weekly homework. The worksheets cover goal setting, time management, devotional time and journaling.  The mentor also goes over the weeks activities including how they spent their free time, what struggles they have encountered and what new standards they have set. The residents read two recovery/spiritual books every three months and do a book report.  The mentor is the resident’s accountability partner and they monitor their program responsibilities.

Monthly Socials

MCTL celebrates holidays, holds BBQ’s, picnics, game nights and meals. Because of the lack of healthy family activities in the homes of the majority of our residents as they were growing up, we feel it is very important for the resident to experience how to have fun without drugs, alcohol or other additive substances. Being lonely and bored is also one of the main triggers for addiction.  Learning how to enjoy friends and how to spend quality time with them is one of our objectives.

Alcohol and Drug Testing

Daily random drug and alcohol testing is administered by the House Assistants and is emailed to the residents Probation and Parole Officers and to treatment providers.
