The document describes a therapeutic community (TC) treatment modality. A TC is an environment where members help each other get help while also helping others. It operates like a family with hierarchical roles and responsibilities. The primary therapists are peers and staff who serve as recovery models and help residents through counseling, seminars, skills development, and other rehabilitation activities. The goal of a TC is to promote positive change and prepare clients to reintegrate into the community as reformed individuals.
