Admission Requirements
To be accepted into Doc’s Place residents must commit to a minimum of 6 months length stay with the understanding that program completion requires at least 1 year stay.
An entry fee is due upon admission into Doc’s Place, to be paid by support network or the resident himself. Entry fee includes first month's rent, groceries, and utilities.
The resident’s entry fee also covers all costs related to our Family Program and drug testing, the resident incurs no extra costs for these services the remainder of his stay. After the first 3-14 days residents start full time employment, depending on the individual.
After the expiration of the initial four-week period, rent and groceries are paid on a weekly basis by the resident himself. Rent and grocery monies are to be paid in advance on this basis, although alternative arrangements may be discussed on an individual basis. As the resident progresses through the program rent starts to decrease to assist residents with transitioning into the community. The payment schedule is as follows:
1-9 months: $200 due weekly
9-12 months: $175 due weekly
12+ months: $125 due weekly
