Family & Aftercare · Opening 2027
The Twelve Lodge Connection Stay brings private time, an outside therapist’s perspective and your personal recovery plan together. Continuing support helps you carry the learning home.
Connection within the Method · Planned for 2027
Private family and companion stays, with an outside therapist’s perspective.
2 included in the 42-day program
Two Connection Stays are included in the 42-day program—one per 21 days. Each includes one night for up to four visiting guests, two hours of outside therapist observation, findings and feedback. Spend private, unobserved time with family, friends or approved support people in the dedicated private family space, alongside pre-agreed portions of supported interaction observed by an outside qualified therapist.
A private two-bedroom unit with a kitchen, living spaces and an office gives you dedicated space for time together.
Reset awareness and Balance skills become Wellness relationship practice. Insights from your time together can help adapt your personal treatment and recovery plan.
Agree relationship goals, who will participate and suitable timing within your personal care plan. Plan the second stay to support preparation for returning home.
Why it matters: A shared purpose gives you something concrete to explore together.
Spend private, unobserved time together in the dedicated private family space, separate from the shared areas of the residence.
Why it matters: Practise listening, communication and boundaries with the people you choose to involve.
Each stay includes two hours of observation by an outside qualified therapist—not your usual internal Lodge counsellor—during pre-agreed portions of interaction, within their professional scope. Agree who observes, when and how beforehand.
Why it matters: A fresh perspective can help you explore relationship patterns and each other’s experiences.
With appropriate informed consent, the outside therapist’s findings and feedback are relayed to your internal Lodge counsellors and inform your personal treatment and recovery plan.
Why it matters: Connect what you learn together with skills practice and preparation for life at home.
Participation is guided by safety, clinical suitability and informed consent. Agree observation arrangements and what feedback will be shared before the stay; private time is not observed. Arrange suitable timing and approved guests with admissions within your personal care plan. The intention is supported practice, not guaranteed relationship repair.
Discuss Connection Stay arrangementsStructured education and participation can involve family members, partners, close friends and other approved companions.
Reset, Balance and Wellness repeat throughout the stay, not as one-time phases. Morning understanding and afternoon skills find everyday application in family conversations and relationships. Sunday’s two morning circles retain Wellness and family preparation/integration; participation later in the day depends on eligibility.
After lunch, eligible residents may participate in companion circles, joint counselling or guided discussions, boundary exercises and approved family leave. Connection Stays are scheduled within your individual care plan, rather than offered every Sunday.
Leave depends on stability and progress, clinical recommendations, the safety of the family environment, treatment goals, transportation, medication requirements, check-ins and residence policies. It is not automatic.
Some residents will not have family available, and some relationships may not yet be safe or appropriate. Those residents remain included through peer-support circles, guided Wellness discussions, reflection, community meetings and supervised recreation.
Support may come from partners, friends, mentors, peers or the recovery community as well as family.

Lifetime access
Included digital support
Why it matters
Keeps the Method close in everyday life and helps you prepare questions and reflections for conversations with your chosen human Guide.
Your personal continuing-care plan connects relationships, routines and suitable support at home. Family work may form part of approved outside therapy where it fits your needs and the practitioner’s scope. Family involvement and sharing remain subject to suitability and your agreement.
Alumni participation is arranged in advance; overnight refresher stays are separately paid, subject to assessment and availability.
Haven · Planned for 2027
Planned Haven learning, reflection and journaling connect all three Circles alongside human care. Return to understanding, skills and practice as needed, prepare your chosen questions for a Guide, and keep useful learning close at home. Lifetime digital Haven access is included. Residents learn and use Haven daily during residence; consented sharing, permissions and review scope will be confirmed before use. AI is not counselling.
Lifetime digital Haven access is included after successful completion. It is separate from time-limited human care, not lifetime counselling or unlimited monitoring.
Your personal notes and journals are not automatically shared with Guides, family members or Companions. Planned Guide review will cover only selected check-ins or reflections you agree to share in support of care. Consent, defined access permissions, review scope and technical privacy arrangements will be confirmed before use; these arrangements are not yet finalized. This is not 24-hour monitoring or an emergency service. The illustrative preview uses prewritten examples only: it collects no personal reflections, saves no journal and sends no messages.
Support at home remains rooted in your continuing-care plan, qualified care and the people you choose to involve.
