All candidates must be 19 years of age or older, have a primary diagnosis of chemical dependence or chemical abuse, and have adequate housing. It is also preferable that the individual have a viable support system within their living arrangement.

The Crisis Residential Program provides the chemically dependent person the opportunity to obtain stabilization in a structured therapeutic environment and to gain the necessary life skills to live a sober and productive life.

The treatment program normally lasts from three to four weeks and consists of group therapy, individual therapy, family therapy, and active participation in 12-Steps support groups. Assistance with G.E.D. work is provided, if needed.

Preventive services are provided as a part of the Mountain Lakes Substance Abuse Program. Prevention activities focus on teaching life skills to both children and adults. Children\'s workshops focus on using a variety of activities to encourage children to develop self-respect and respect for others. Adult workshops include parenting classes, stress-management and general workshops on alcoholism and addiction.
