The transitional living program offers up to two years of care, though the duration of stay can range anywhere from 30 to 730 days. Before admission, residents undergo a prescreen to determine eligibility. For those with mental health issues, licensed counselors are available for dual diagnosis support. In addition, they must attend a range of therapy sessions, and educational groups and also are required to obtain employment. Therapy includes weekly individual and group therapy sessions. As clients stay in the home for longer, their required number of meetings and therapy sessions per week goes down while the number of hours of community service per week increases. Aftercare is offered to those that successfully complete the residential program. Independent living with supportive options is included in aftercare. The Hall House provides a safe place for clients to continue their recovery. The Hall House has individual rooms and a kitchen maintained by the clients. Support is provided as needed per a person center program. The permanent housing program is offered to men who have successfully completed transitional living. They can move in as long as they can pay rent and stay sober. There is a strict zero-tolerance policy for substances during either phase of treatment. Anyone who is found relapsing is subject to being evicted from the program. Extras

Case management is offered and may include employment counseling, independent living skills, recreational activities, legal advocacy and referrals, spirituality, financial counseling, family counseling, and referrals to community self-help groups. A mental health coordinator helps connect clients with programs to support their mental health needs during and after treatment. This service is designed to aid in the referral process to build a stronger long-term recovery. In Summary

🎉We’re starting the new year off with Fun in Recovery. 🎉
Throughout 2025, not a single week was skipped; our clients participated in fun experiences every week because joy, connection, and community are essential to healing. This week, case managers Matt and Katie took clients to the Nelson-Atkins Museum, where they explored art, shared laughs, and experienced one of Kansas City’s greatest treasures together. Moments like these build connection, confidence, and remind our clients that recovery includes joy, curiosity, and life beyond survival.
