Clients at this level of care are asked to have the goal of abstinence for the period of time they are in the group so they can use skills rather than turning to a substance to cope. Twice-weekly drug testing and breathalyzing. 4-Day Program: Monday/Wednesday/Friday 11-2pm, and Thursday 12-3pm 3-Day Program: Tuesday/Thursday 12-3pm, and Friday 11-2pm
