Experience Life at Olympia House
Learn how Olympia House works with residents and graduates to prevent relapses and remain sober.
Aftercare Action Plan
Our clients leave Olympia House with a growing network of support services, people, friends, education, and hope.
Each person is asked to craft an Aftercare Action Plan which outlines his or her goals and steps to achieve long-lasting and rewarding recovery.
Upon discharge, Olympia House Rehab does not sever ties with our clients.
We help ensure that those who have been in our care continue to be supported, connected and engaged on a path of self-directed wellness and recovery outside our walls.
Preventive Maintenance
Free tune-ups are a unique feature of our recovery program. Once a person graduates they can return for free tune-ups, once in the first ninety days and then twice a year. A tune-up is a 3-day, 2-night stay at no cost.
The graduate must be clean and sober at the time of the tune-up.
Tune-ups are very useful to former residents in avoiding relapse. If they are in crisis, they can come to Olympia House to get stable before heading out into the real world.
Some people check in on Friday after work and check out again on Sunday to return to their lives as usual.
Other clients use tune-ups as part of their regular maintenance in recovery.

Transitional Support
When a person graduates from a residential treatment setting, they immediately begin to make choices that will shape their future.
Upon leaving Olympia House, some clients choose to pursue independent living either alone, with friends, or with family and significant loved ones.
Other graduates opt to move into a sober living environment (SLE) where they live in a supportive and somewhat structured environment with others in early recovery.
In either situation, the individual usually begins to assume responsibility for maintaining order in their environment, supplying their own food, preparing their own meals, arranging their transportation, earning an income, and structuring many aspects of their daily life.
In some instances, it can be helpful during this transition for the individual to continue to receive an elevated level of support.
In these cases, Olympia House provides fee-based case management services to assist them in rebuilding a sober, self-motivated, and independent life integrated with the outside community.
Coaching & Guidance
A trained alcohol and drug counselor or therapist from Olympia House Rehab will work one-on-one as a case manager with the client, providing coaching on fundamental life skills such as goal setting, health management, and financial planning.
The case manager will assist the client in developing an ongoing plan to help him or her identify, arrange, and commit to recovery-based activities that will enable them to move forward with all aspects of their life.
Coaching and guidance may include:
- Helping to arrange visits with clinical professionals and outpatient therapy
- Assisting with access to physician services and physical rehabilitation
- Giving guidance in resume writing and seeking employment
- Assisting in applying for appropriate county, state, and federal financial and medical assistance
- Arranging transportation to necessary legal appointments and appearances
As individuals begin to build a life in their own home or in the structured environment of an SLE, they will receive professional guidance and support from their case manager. The client will create a defined set of goals and a schedule designed to support the accomplishment of these goals, and the case manager will regularly review and re-evaluate the resident’s program of action with the client to assess how well he or she is making progress.
This is all done to support the ultimate goal of helping the individual in early recovery build a practical foundation for living substance-free and in a functional, independent, and conscious manner.
Free for Graduates of our Residential Treatment Program
Olympia House believes that once you leave our treatment center, your journey into the world of recovery is not ending, but just beginning.
This journey is impossible to do on your own, and that is why we provide a free alumni group for all residents who have successfully completed our program.
The alumni group is a space for graduates who not only share the common experience of struggling with addiction but also the unique experience of returning to a space where they have all been open and vulnerable.
Similar to our peer support groups, our Alumni Group is an active and growing part of our treatment center. Graduates who participate in the Alumni Group return to Olympia House every Thursday evening.
They are welcome to have dinner and socialize with other alumni from 5:30-6:30 pm.
The group itself runs from 6:30-7:30 pm and is a space for graduates to share their progress and struggles in early recovery.
Groups meet once a week: Thursday from 6:00-7:00 pm – Dinner is from 5:30-6:00 pm
