Case Management and Coaching.
At Lotus, our unwavering commitment is directed towards your refined restoration and a harmonious reintegration into society. We profoundly understand the significance of family, social ties, and community on our residents’ journey to healing. To this end, each resident is paired with a dedicated coach, with whom they engage three times a week, as well as a case manager for weekly sessions during the initial 90-day period. This intensive interaction ensures tailored guidance through treatment goals, careful sponsor selection, and integration into support groups that resonate with their individual needs.
As residents progress, we gradually reduce the frequency of these sessions, ensuring they remain empowered yet independent.
In addition to this structured coaching and case management, residents benefit from sessions with a renowned female therapist, an expert in trauma therapies. Beyond recovery support, we extend our services to encompass realms like daily living skills, resume crafting, job applications, career and academic placements, budgeting, credit repair, relationship counseling, and interview preparation.
Serving as a nexus for families, our ultimate aspiration at Lotus is to equip every resident with the comprehensive tools and insights required for a seamless and enriched transition into society’s fabric.

“I’m profoundly grateful for the transformative role Lotus played in my life. From my first Monday women’s meeting, I felt an immediate connection. My counselor recommended Lotus for its strong accountability, and I was committed to embracing every aspect to maintain sobriety.
The serene environment at Lotus was a safe haven where I connected with others on similar journeys. The incredible women there were pillars of strength, understanding, and support; we became more than friends – we became family, cheering successes and offering solace during challenges.
Lotus was a pivotal chapter in my life. It not only reignited my true self but also mended familial ties and guided my sober living. Today, as an independent individual, I continue to grow, flourish, and inspire others with my testament to resilience and hope.”
