A holistic, six-month path to sobriety.

THE THREE PHASES

Structured for lasting change.

Each phase builds on the last — the goal isn’t just getting clean, it’s building a way of living you can maintain long after you leave the Harbor.

PHASE 1 | FIRST 30 DAYS

Foundation & Focus

The first month is all about clearing away distractions, grounding yourself, and focusing entirely on your personal recovery.

  • Property & Device Restriction: No cell phones; residents remain on campus for the full 30 days to stay fully present.
  • Nightly Fellowship: Mandatory community-driven recovery meetings every evening at 6:30 PM.
  • 12-Step Groundwork: Find a sponsor and begin the transformative work of the 12 Steps.
  • Work Therapy: Build routine and responsibility in our warehouse or kitchen.
PHASE 2 | 2 – 5 MONTHS

Integration & Accountability

Sobriety isn’t lived in a bubble. You’ll begin applying recovery tools to real-world scenarios while earning back personal privileges.

  • Expanded Privileges: Earn phone access and off-campus time by demonstrating consistency and reliability.
  • Forward-Facing Work Therapy: Roles on donation trucks and in thrift stores — practicing accountability and life skills in real time.
  • Continued Structure: Nightly 6:30 PM meetings remain a cornerstone of the daily rhythm.
  • Monitored Progress: Regular check-ins with your Recovery Manager to track 12-Step milestones.
PHASE 3 | 1 MONTH

Transition & Graduation

The final month is focused on launching you into a successful, independent future — transitioning from internal support to real-world execution.
