    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on A Safe Haven, a residential treatment for substance abuse. A Safe Haven conducts seminars regularly in such areas as career development, banking, housekeeping and nutrition and health. It has provided several specialized services to distinct populations of substance abusers. It has allocated several units for deaf residents where special programming and facilities and interpreters are provided. The first goal of the program is to establish sobriety as a priority. The second is for residents to start developing improved life skills. Lastly, residents are encouraged to prepare to leave A Safe Haven.
