Terra Program
Transitional Living Program
For clients who need continued care beyond our residential program, Nova Counseling Services offers the 90-day transitional Terra Program.
Terra Program
The Terra Program is a licensed transitional program for individuals who have successfully completed a primary residential substance use disorder program.
The Terra Program offers a caring place for 8 to 10 male clients to participate in a four-stage treatment program in order to advance their recovery and prepare for the return to family, career and community.
Throughout their time at Terra, clients are given a therapeutic environment and support from a multi-disciplinary team of experienced professionals.
Terra offers a helping hand to clients on their road to recovery. The program is designed to gradually reinforce a healthy self-concept and provide the tools and skills training needed to develop constructive relationships with others.
Following Terra, clients are encouraged to participate in Nova’s aftercare and to continue their participation within Alcoholics and/or Narcotics Anonymous®.
