ABOUT THE HALE FOUNDATION INC.
Founded by two businessmen in Augusta, Ga. and operating since 1990, the Hale Foundation, Inc. offers residential services to male adult clients seeking recovery from addiction. Detox services are not available on site.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Treatment is divided into two phases, both with a heavy emphasis on 12-step practices. Phase One, for clients who have successfully detoxed, is a regime of daily programming Monday through Friday, including meditation and educational videos and lectures on the disease of addiction and the recovery process. Out-of-house 12-step meetings happen three times per day, closed group therapy twice a week, and four in-house 12-step meetings per week.
Phase Two continues much of the same programming as phase I, and clients who have completed a treatment program at another facility may enter this phase. House chores are added on, and clients are expected to increase their willingness to recover. Family visitation is allowed during this period.
An Industry Program helps employees recover in conjunction with support from their employers. Other services Hale offers includes nursing assessments, lab work, and physical clinical evaluations.
STAFF CREDENTIALS
Hale employs residential nurses. A certified drug and alcohol counselor directs the program, while the executive director has 36 years of experience in the drug and alcohol addiction field.
ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES
Clients stay in dormitory-like accommodations, with bedding, laundry facilities, and hygiene supplies provided. Residents obtain employment and pay rent as part of their recovery process. Transportation is provided at affordable rates, and breakfast, lunch, and dinner are provided.
