The Recovery Dilemma
The greatest barrier or dilemma facing an individual seeking recovery is environment. Returning to the same situation after exiting a detox, inpatient treatment or an institution can be very dangerous to sobriety. Transitional living offers an environment that is supportive and non threatening to sobriety. Residents can rest assured in the integrity of Truly Motivated Transitional Living. Shared experiences, fellowship and like-minded peers strengthen recovery. Truly Motivated Transitional Living is structured but non-restrictive. Residents are encouraged to find work, start school and work on barriers such as driver’s license, collections etc. The idea is for residents to transition to independence at their own pace.

Community
We believe the unity we share in the houses as well as the family atmosphere set us apart. Being made to feel like you belong to something greater than yourself is without parallel. Stability and accountability are key factors in a solid recovery program and a high level of both exist at Truly Motivated Transitional Living. Although recovery is hard work, we believe it should be fun! We have a great time here at T.M.T.L, we are a family.

A healthy, clean, and pleasant living environment

12-step and faith-based meetings on-site

Resident Peer Panel
The Peer Panel is made up of senior residents. The Peer Panel serves several purposes and sets up a “we” environment as opposed to an “us against them”scenario. The Peer Panel meets weekly and makes decisions concerning relapses and violations of Rules and Expectations. The Peer Panel also meets with residents throughout the first three months of residency to review short and long term goals and offer much needed encouragement and guidance.

Expectations

Upon admission, rules and expectations are explained, and a tenancy agreement is signed.
• A zero-tolerance policy on drinking or using any form of mind altering chemicals means immediate termination of residency upon violation. Residents may reapply after three days of continuous sobriety, agree with and follow all recommendations of the resident Peer Panel.
• All residents are subject to random supervised urine analysis.
