INTERVENTION & EVALUATION

Guest House’s Intervention Assistance Program is designed to help
you get someone started on the road to recovery. Its aim is to unmask the
denial and help sister admit there is a possible problem. This is the first
step toward recovery. Ending denial requires considerable courage. But
continuing denial makes recovery impossible.

The Guest House Intervention Assistance Program provides:

╬ Consultation, including assisting in information gathering and
preparation—on site, if necessary.

╬ Telephone contact and support throughout the process.

╬ Personnel support during the actual intervention can be provided.

╬ Professional evaluation in an appropriate clinical setting.

╬ Recommendation of treatment options and/or escorting the woman to
a professional treatment facility.

Assessment & Evaluation
Effective treatment begins with a thorough understanding of the
individual’s difficulties as well as the impact of those difficulties on
her community.

Our professional assessment includes:

╬ A complete psychological test battery and clinical interview.

╬ A complete physical examination.

╬ A thorough psychosocial history with particular attention to long
standing patterns of difficulty.

╬ A comprehensive addiction screening process.

╬ A spiritual summary which reviews the sister’s spiritual journey.

╬ A feedback conference with the client, her leadership, and the
evaluating team to review the results of the assessment and discuss
recommendations of the staff.

The assessment is required for all participants in the Guest House
program. Assessments from other institutions will be reviewed.
