CARS Supportive Living Program is a chemical dependency treatment service that is designed to promote independent living in a supervised setting for individuals who are making the transition to independent living.  A supportive level of care is for individuals who either require a long-term supportive environment following care in another type of residential service, or who are in need of a transitional living environment prior to establishing independent community living.

To be eligible for admission to the Supportive Living Program, prospective participants must meet the following criteria:

1.     Referred by a Chemical Dependency Treatment Program with a recommendation for this level of care.

2.  Have a diagnosis of alcohol dependency or alcohol abuse or polysubstance dependence or abuse.

3.  Appear to be free of serious communicable disease that  can be transmitted through ordinary contact.

4.  Appear to be not in need of acute hospital care, acute psychiatric care, or other intensive services that cannot be provided in conjunction with supportive living services or would prevent him/her from participating in a chemical dependency service.

5.  The individual requires the support of a residence that provides an alcohol and drug free environment.

6.  The individual requires peer support of fellow residents to maintain abstinence.

7.  The individual does not require 24-hour a day on site supervision by clinical staff

8.  Exhibit the skills and strengths necessary to maintain abstinence and readapt to independent living in the community while receiving the minimal clinical and peer support provided by this residential environment.

No person shall be denied admission to the Supportive Living Program on the basis of race, religion, color, age, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, or handicapping condition. Additionally, no person shall be denied admission, be terminated or have his/her services reduced, limited, or otherwise affected negatively or his/her status changed solely on the basis of such person's actual, presumed, or alleged HIV-related condition or status.
