Our Philosophy
Treatment at Baker House is very individualized and client centered. This program works hard with each individual to find the inner strength and motivation to make changes for a better life with goals, hopes, and dreams.
Staff is caring and dedicated to the process of helping individuals change their behaviors and learn the skills to be successful when they return to their families and communities.
Treatment here stresses changes in thinking and behavior that come from acceptance of personal responsibility for one’s own recovery. You will learn about alcoholism and addiction, identifying how drinking and using drugs has affected all aspects of life, finding ways to repair some of the damage, discover ways to remain clean and sober to stop the cycle of addiction, and minimize the effects it will have on your families.
Our program involves evidence-based practices with an emphasis on:
- Stages of change
- Motivational enhancement
- Cognitive behavioral change
- Relapse prevention planning
- Individual, group, and family counseling
We work with co-occurring disorders and individuals in the criminal justice system.
Many of our individuals are mothers whose children are temporarily in the custody of DHS and therefore, we are willing to become a part of that multidisciplinary team.
Accommodations
Activities
Baker House is known for providing activities that incorporate learning about life. We encourage healthy leisure activities and provide outings that include hiking, fishing,shopping, walking, cooking, and local community activities.
Church services are available on Sundays. We utilize a local gym multiple times a week for exercise.
Many of our activities are built around practicing social skills, budgeting, and effective communication. Our clients also provide service projects to the community to learn how to give back and be a part of community living.
If an individual is looking for community service hours we will assist them in finding an opportunity outside of their treatment hours.
A typical day in the Baker House
A typical day at the Baker House Women’s Residential Program follows a structured yet supportive routine designed to promote recovery, personal growth, and well-being. The day begins early, with personal time between 5:00 AM and 6:00 AM, followed by wake-up at 6:15 AM. Breakfast is served at 7:00 AM, and residents then use the next half hour for personal time or room maintenance. At 8:00 AM, the community gathers for morning motivation, followed by a short break before the first group session from 8:45 AM to 10:15 AM. There is a short break, and the next group begins at 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Lunch is served from 11:30 AM to 12:00 PM, and residents have a personal hour until the next group session at 1:00 PM. The afternoon includes a fitness session from 2:30 PM to 3:30 PM, with time beforehand to prepare. A final group session takes place from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM, followed by dinner and personal time. In the evening, there is an optional Narcotics Anonymous meeting from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM and an evening gratitude session at 7:30 PM. Lights out is at 10:00 PM on most nights, extended to 11:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. In addition to the daily schedule, residents also participate in weekly and monthly outings that support social connection and community reintegration.
