Introducing the state of the center program
We accept consultations by phone and e-mail for those who need support for rehabilitation, and social reintegration, as well as addiction, social withdrawal, and eating disorders. Through consultation, we will be able to think of the best plan for you and the person. In addition, we also provide support to lead the person to rehabilitation for their families.
Women and those who are unable to be admitted into the dormitory for special reasons can conduct the program at home through counseling by phone or email. (In some cases, it may be supported by the program at facility)
How will the family face the person? How will the family let the person confront the problem? We will think about such things together and support them. In some cases, we will hold a family meeting and attend as a facilitator.
Basically, a man with addiction conducts a one-year dormitory life program. ( Currently, women are only available for home support)
For those who are unable to participate in the one-year program for special reasons, we offer a three-month introductory course.
We accept people who are interested in rehabilitation work and provide staff training.
