Relapse Prevention Emphasis

Each patient will develop relapse prevention tools based on the Gorski Model® to help them maintain sobriety in their recovery process once they leave our facilities.  Patients may be referred on for further care once they leave our facility at either our outpatient program in Gig Harbor or to a program close to the patient’s home.

Olalla Guest Lodge Spirit Mountain Alumni Activities

Our alumni are important to us.  We offer ongoing activities and support for our alumni, called Spirit Mountain Alumni.  Patients are encouraged to participate in the alumni activities such as “blogging” on the website, signing up to receive bulletins, emails, and newsletters to keep in contact with Olalla.  Many patients return to the open birthday meetings to celebrate milestones in their recovery path.  Each year, Olalla hosts an Alumni Picnic for current and former patients to celebrate the gifts of recovery and to re-connect with counselors and former patients.
