Levels of Care
at Big Creek Christian Cottage

Big Creek Christian Cottage offers a unique style of care. Advancement through the program is based on a client’s progress not on the intensity of care needed by a client. The placement of each level will depend on the client’s progress, or lack thereof, in their current phase of the program. The care team will meet to evaluate and determine when, and if, a client is ready for the next program level. (*There may be times when a situation arises for the care team to reevaluate a client’s needs and current level of care).

Level 1  "Rediscovery" Phase:
*All clients begin at this level.
These are some of the things that clients can expect during this phase:
• adjust to their new surroundings
• meet with therapist
• begin working on identifying treatment goals
• learn to be kind to themselves and others
• participate in group activities
• learn what is expected to reach the next phase
• begin to develop goals and expectations for treatment
Clients are on this level typically 4-6 weeks

Level 2  "Rejuvenation" Phase:
*After clients have met and maintained the necessary requirements of Level 1
These are some of the things that clients can expect during this phase:
• Focus more intensely on changing behavior(s)
• Identify relationship to mend
• Identify the things which they are grateful for
• Assume responsibility as a role model
• Assume responsibility as a team leader
• Implement set goals and expectations for their treatment
• Develop goals for the future
Clients are typically on this level 6-8 weeks

Level 3  "Reintegration" Phase:
*After clients have met and maintained the necessary requirements of Level 1 and 2
These are some of the things that clients can expect during this phase:
• Identify accomplishments
• Encourage responsibility and leadership in others
• Develop realistic goals and expectation for their future
• Identify uncompleted goals and expectations
• Develop graduation plan
Typical length of stay at this level is 1-3 weeks

Responsibilities and privileges in treatment will be evaluated based on involvement in treatment groups and activities, cooperation in medication compliance, and behavior and respect for self and others. Movement between levels is based on improvement in condition, behavior, and ability to accept and demonstrate greater responsibility for treatment.
