WARM is an
inpatient substance abuse recovery program for adult women
seeking recovery from substance abuse and addiction. The
facility is located in Henderson, Kentucky and is a non-profit
organization and an affiliate of the Recovery Kentucky
Initiative. For additional information about Recovery Kentucky
please click here -
Recovery Kentucky.
WARM utilizes a social model of recovery. Clients enrolled in
the recovery program learn to become accountable for their
actions. They actively participate in the community process of
accountability and learn to appropriately deal with consequences
for inappropriate behavior. During the community process clients
learn to hold their peers accountable with love, dignity, and
respect. Clients “give back” to the recovery program by
providing their own cleaning, light maintenance repairs,
laundry, food service, and lawn care services. Clients are
taught independent living skills and learn to become responsible
for their own personal care as well as caring for their own
living environment.
This program is
for adult women only. Clients must understand that the primary
focus of WARM is recovery first. Other life issues will be
addressed in the latter phases of the program when clients have
a sufficient amount of sobriety time to clearly and effectively
deal with other issues. Introduction of other life issues too
early in the recovery process could sabotage overall recovery
efforts.
WARM is a group
living facility. Clients share living spaces with their peers.
Having valuables and large sums of money is discouraged as they
are the clients’ responsibility for safekeeping. Cell phones are
prohibited. Pay phones are available for use within the
facility. There is no onsite medical clinic. All medical
emergencies are handled by the local hospital and/or voluntary
medical personnel. WARM is not financially responsible for
medical bills incurred by clients during their enrollment in the
program. All medical bills incurred by clients, including
prescriptions, is the client’s responsibility.
The overall
length of the program is approximately eight to twelve months.
There are some who may complete sooner, however, potential
clients should plan to commit for at least a one year period of
time to complete all phases of the recovery program. For
