Please note: Our residential program is only open to men. While the primary focus of The Shoulder's residential program is to focus on recovery from drug and alcohol abuse, our residents are also required to work as a part of recovery. We believe that being a working and contributing member of society helps our clients assimilate better and develop a sense of self and purpose. While a client is a resident at The Shoulder, counselors work with him to develop a treatment plan designed to meet his individual needs. The client attends numerous educational and process groups, 12-step meetings, spirituality groups, substance education meetings and individual and family counseling sessions.
