Y-Haven Services

Y-Haven offers a continuum of care beginning with primary treatment for drug/alcohol dependency. When residents graduate from the primary counseling phase, their case managers focus their treatment plan on continuing care, relapse prevention, and appropriate education and training programs. When residents complete necessary trainings they are placed in jobs or sheltered workshops. The final phase of the treatment plan is finding suitable permanent housing for our residents.

In 2006, Y-Haven added the Janitorial Training Program, The Green Team, which consists of a ten week hands-on, comprehensive instructional program that teaches janitorial and floor technician skills. The program currently boasts 100% after graduation job placement, with 91% job retention. The Green Team is being recognized as a very valuable service by many community corporations, civic leaders and the city at large.
