Our Program

---

Our program's resident privileges are determined according to a point system. This system gives points based on how well a resident does during day to day activities and chores. Something that is different about Mountaintop's point card is that it is dynamic and changes as the day goes. Each time a point is entered it immediately impacts the point card and in-turn the level. This dynamic point system helps developing minds understand the immediate effects of their actions and how they can help or hurt them and their privileges. Due to the dynamic nature, residents are able to feel empowered to make to change the behaviors that negatively impact their privileges. This also encourages communication with staff to problem solve what the next steps are to take to improve. 

Mountaintop is a community-based program and with that comes certain expectations for our residents. Residents must be medication compliant. Residents must have and follow a productive schedule. Residents are expected to stay sober and take drug tests as requested. Residents are expected to attend therapy sessions and make their treatment a priority.   

At Mountaintop we do weekly social outing and allowance shopping. Our social outings range anywhere amongst going out to the movies, to going to our local theme park for a day of riding roller-coasters and water slides. We also do weekly allowance shopping trips to local stores that the residents enjoy shopping at. Residents make allowance by following the program and it is determined on their point card. Staff will take residents around town to different approved locations to buy snacks, games, or clothes with their allowance. These activities help to motivate residents to follow program and give them something to work for each week.
