The programme of therapeutic community

Therapeutic community has clearly set basic rules acceptance and respecting of which are necessary for working in the programme and for its successful results.

Regular regime is another very important treatment tool. Regime regularity is connected with group and individual psychotherapy. It is the common feature of a therapeutic community.
There are other kinds of medical treatments e.g. social- consulting work, educational programme, artetherapy, medical service, experience programme and leisure time activities. Clients can take part in additional programmes to develop their social skills.

We work with the clients´ families in special consulting and therapeutic meetings.
Special treatment is given to clients with a special psychiatric diagnosis. The clients have an individual plan of therapy adapted to their situation and problems.
The phases of therapy and their content are adapted to be carried out in their wide range.

The treatment plan and main aims focus on two basic parts.
To catch the dependence.
To accept clients’ mental problem.

The programme contains several phases where baggage and responsibility is increasing.

0 phase – protective, motivation (min. 1 month) A client is led to clear his/ her problems and if he/ she is able and willing to work in this programme to change his/ her behaviour

1 phase adaptable (1-3 month)
A client works in the programme and tries to name own experience, real problems and continually solve it. He/ she can speak openly in groups and work for community\ to keep the rules. He/ she can have a visit of members of his/her family.

3 phase responsible (1-6 month)
In this period the most important changes appear in the behaviour of clients. A client learns to take responsibility for him/ herself and for the community. A client is able to solve his/ her problems in groups and he/ she is able to leave the community alone.

4 phase leaving ( 1-3 month)
We focus on the ability of clients to leave the protective role of the community. The clients´ deep personal process of development through the treatment is completed and the client is capable of looking for a job.
