WHAT IS ARISE?

​

ARISE is a three-phase behavioral modification program that is built into our shelter program. It consists of three main elements:

​

1.  A three-phase progressive structure

2. Individualized, in-house case management

3. A therapeutic community designed to provide accountability with support
