Welcome to Endeavor
Since 2004, funding through Lane County Community Corrections have supported the Endeavor Program, which provides substance abuse treatment, free of charge, to individuals that have been referred by a Lane County Parole and Probation officer.
Utilizing cognitive methods of treatment, which include Thinking for a Change and Motivational Recognition Therapy (MRT), the Endeavor Program focuses on moving individuals from a life of abuse and problems into being a productive member of the community. While in the program, individuals are provided with case management services, which help with a variety of individual needs such as obtaining food, clothing, housing, medical, or case specific needs that the individual requires.
Encouraging abstinence through monitored urinalysis, the program is designed to be open-ended, as some clients need more time to complete treatment objectives then others. Group treatment meetings are gender specific and focus on principles of risk, need, responsiveness, and fidelity. The Endeavor Program also has a free family support group, which is to address the necessary understanding around addiction, while supporting those that are or have been affected by someone else’s compulsion or dependence.
Emergence has really been a life changer for me. It has taught me the skills on how to ask for help when I need it.
When I first came here to Emergence, I was an angry, out of control, scared drug addict who acted out. Because I really didn’t know how to come right out and ask for the help I desperately needed.
I was given a variety of assignments to do that fit perfectly with the things that I was going through at that time in my life. It really helped me with my coping skills, self worth, my issues with shame, as well as positive self-talk, and my codependency issues.
I have learned to set boundaries and follow through with them and not be afraid to stand up for my self. I have learned to have confidence in my self.
I have learned how to help the new comers and give them advice on what to do and not to do. I learned how to be a positive role model instead of being a negative one. I owe it all to Emergence for giving me the chance to become a different person. Thank you, R.H.
