Day/night programming at The Guest House may serve as a transitional step after residential treatment; or, our community-based day/night program can be an option for outpatient-only clients who do not need full-time care. We work carefully with each day/night client and their family to ensure that their home life is supportive of a sober lifestyle and that they will be able to complete our program requirements.
