Daily Schedule
Clients need the opportunity to experience healthy adult living in a safe and structured environment. It is crucial that each house member has responsibilities within the house and that they are able to learn to work together to keep the home environment safe and healthy. Clients are expected to take a direct role in their own treatment and in working towards their own goals for themselves and their life.
Nova Hills recognizes that some clients will be further in their treatment and in being able to live a safe and healthy independent adult life. The program is designed to be somewhat fluid and flexible to work with each individual client’s therapeutic, academic, and vocational needs and goals while also maintaining the beneficial therapeutic and educational group therapy opportunities.
