Clients learn the significance of honesty and mutual accountability while working as a cohesive unit. Throughout their stay, they progress through the 12 Steps, leaving treatment upon completing Step 9, and continue with Steps 10-12 alongside their sponsor and peers in 12-Step meetings. Supported by licensed clinicians and experienced substance abuse counselors, clients are encouraged to reflect on past behaviors, mend relationships, and embark on a substance-free life. Spero offers a variety of group activities, experiential therapies, and community engagement opportunities led by a clinical director with over 20 years of experience. Spero Recovery Center is equipped to help clients tackle co-occurring mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and various personality disorders. Their wilderness and group therapy approaches are instrumental in managing and overcoming the symptoms associated with mental health issues. Although the center does not have on-site therapists, they can facilitate connections to external therapy resources should clients require additional support. Upon completing the residential phase, clients enter aftercare and can participate in Spero Recovery Center's supportive alumni program. Customized aftercare plans guide individuals as they navigate early recovery challenges, promoting sustained motivation and mindfulness through dedicated self-care practices. Alumni have the opportunity to attend peer meetings and workshops focused on recovery strategies, including relapse prevention techniques.
