Program Plan and Phases of Advancement
The minimum length of stay to complete the Dismas House Reentry Program is 90 days and the maximum is 12 months.
Once a resident has successfully completed the Dismas Reentry Program, he may, depending on bed availability, individual progress, and other criteria, apply for the Dismas Independent Living Program, which provides the opportunity for a resident who has successfully completed the main Dismas program to continue to live at Dismas House in our affordable housing.
Determining the length of stay at Dismas House is a decision made between the resident and his care team based upon the resident’s individual goals, successful achievement of certain benchmarks, and adherence to his treatment plan, if applicable.
