Thanks to compassionate landowners, our executive director has admitted three (3) males of the six (6) residents in the In His Time, LLC, Recovery Residence for Males. Donna Mae decided it is time that our community has a place for people struggling to be sober -- many of whom are experiencing homelessness.
Durango's women's recovery residence will be ready sometime in September. CCO is accepting donations to help individuals pay their first month's rent to In His Time, LLC. Your donations will help us provide peer-based recovery support and services through the RESST Program.
About In His Time, LLC Donna Mae Baukat is the owner/manager of In His Time, LLC, for which she is also a certified peer and family specialist with training in Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT). She decided that our southwest region needs to have recovery residences for many people who suffer alcoholism and substance use disorders. The Colorado Agency for Recovery Residences is to certify the homes that are run by the LLC. CCO, as a partner with the Recovery Empowerment Support Services Team, is proud to support the people who are accepted into the In His Time, LLC, Recovery Residences Program.
Background
Since March 2022, we provide peer-based recovery support services to our unhoused peers who suffer with substance misuse (substance use disorders) of alcohol and/or drugs, opioids and mixed substances.
A huge gap in service presents a need for women with children who are experiencing homelessness! We believe they should be housed in a home where drugs and alcohol are not allowed. There are women living in an apartment that do not have access to a recovery support program. Those women--who may or may not have children living with them, also need a home free of drugs and alcohol!
They would be monitored closely and our Recovery Empowerment Support Services Team would provide peer support. Peer Support Professionals are trained with a minimum of 60-hours education through the Connecticut Center for Recovery Coach (CCAR) training. We have access to Colorado certified trainers. A candidate for training has lived experience with substance use disorder and with co-occurring mental health issues.
Instead of therapy, we provide a wide-range of empowering, motivating and encouraging self-determination within our support & services. Education about addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders offers our peers to be aware of their strengths and their capital. Awareness helps individuals to be in the moment--rather than being out-of-focus in the external forces that comes through the people we know, or within the environment we spend most of our time, and in those much-needed basics (food, warmth and shelter).
