Relationship-Centered Care

Within the CooperRiis Healing Community, we practice relationship-centered care -- an approach that places relationship at the core of the therapeutic and recovery process. What this means is that all interactions—wherever and whatever the moment, however routine or special—are based upon a fundamental commitment to mutual respect, self-awareness, humility, openness, and caring.

As a result, our community functions as a positive, affirming force with the goal of moving residents from being “stuck” and disengaged, toward a more active, fulfilling, and hopeful life.

CooperRiis Healing Community:  a Path of Opportunities

• Psychotherapies
• Medication Optimization (pdf of "The medication Optimization Statement")
• Addictions Counseling
• Service Learning and Life Skills Training
• Recreational, Cultural, and Artistic Experiences
• Nutritional and Physical Exercise Coaching
• Smoking Cessation Guidance
• Complimentary modalities such as massage therapy and acupuncture

The residents’ choices and goals are guided by a holistic/whole person approach. The CooperRiis Healing Community helps each resident create an Overall Recovery Plan that addresses the physical and mental challenges of life, while coaching the resident’s creation of a "Dream Statement." The Dream Statement becomes the resident’s ‘road map’ for the Core Goals and Objectives they wish to achieve.
