Policies for Residents at in2Action

Faith-Based Programming

In2Action is a faith-based program. What this means specifically is we are driven by Christian principles and the Bible which we consider to be the Word of God. People best suited for in2Action are those who have a sincere desire to cultivate a deeper and more meaningful relationship with their Savior, Jesus Christ.

Conduct, Communication, & Success

Program Conduct Policy
Residents will work toward transitioning socially from past destructive lifestyle patterns, to initiating positive lifestyle patterns and becoming a new person. This means the way we used to talk to one another and respond to conflict must change. Profanity, yelling, insulting, and belittling others are examples of inappropriate ways of relating to others in the program and will not be tolerated.
Successful Completion
It takes a minimum of 90 days to complete the criteria for successful completion of the in2Action program. The specific criteria for the two-phased approach are attached to this document. While it is possible to earn a successful completion certificate in 90 days, it typically takes most residents closer to six months to complete.
Weekly One-on-Ones
Residents are required to meet with a case manager and a recovery coach at least once a week for the first 30 days, then at least biweekly after that. Weekly goals will be established at these meetings and residents must be working toward these goals each week to remain in good standing in the program.
Skill Drill Policy
ll new residents are required to complete at least 40 Skill Drills, which are 90-minute life skills classes before graduating Phase One. In2Action provides 10 Skill Drills a week (excluding holidays) so it takes about a month to complete all the Skill Drills. Continued attendance is required until resident begins working.
Employment Policy
Residents are not allowed to work outside of in2Action while in Phase One, usually around a month. After Phase One residents must be employed or actively and aggressively seeking employment. Residents prohibited from employment due to health or disabilities are excused from employment policy.
