Our transitional living campus spans 14 homes and 43 individual bedrooms across a tight-knit Louisville neighborhood. Every client has their own room, and the density of the community makes isolation nearly impossible. With 30 to 40 men living within walking distance of each other, there is always something happening. The group chat alone tells the story: golf, hikes, ski days, pickup games, gym sessions, spontaneous cookouts. Staff facilitate early on, but the expectation is that the community increasingly drives its own culture.

Structure is built into every week. On Monday morning, our IOP group starts the week with intention. Groups on Tuesday and Thursday evenings bring that cohort back together. Wednesday evening is a barbecue and open 12-step meeting led by clients themselves. Sunday is a full community meeting where everyone comes together. From minor maintenance issues to the overall spirit of the campus, nothing is off the table. Four 12-step meetings weekly are required, and sponsorship is an expectation, not a suggestion.

Clinical care is fully integrated into Phase II from day one. Our intensive outpatient program runs 9 hours of group therapy weekly, stepping down to 3 after a few months as clients build stability and independence. Individual sessions with a therapist, case manager, and our program director are woven into the week, ensuring that each man has consistent eyes on where he is and what he needs. Until a client is employed or enrolled in school, mornings begin with H.E.R.D. meetings — structured time that builds the executive functioning, accountability, and daily discipline that a productive life requires. Weekly psychiatric and medical appointments are available to all clients who need support in those areas.

Our Director of Outdoor Activities, Shawn Krush, leads outdoor outings in the early weeks of Phase II — getting men moving, outside, and connected to the community as they integrate into it.
