Sociopathic Extensive Training Programming;;
[/b]This is where the real nightmares come. The ones who kill, injure, and act without remourse. The ones who manipulate and con others. They are pathological liars, who lack shame or guilt and have no sense of love. They come to the Phoenix House when there is no other option.
Stage One;
Sociopaths are no where to be found in the first stage. They stay in their confinement rooms on the opposite side of the building as the other patients. They are not allowed to leave this room under any circumstance. Once a week, a one-on-one counselor comes to meet with them to determine if they are prepared for stage 2.
Stage Two;
Stage two is a bit more like prison. The patients in this ward are allowed to leave their room for 1 hour a day, under very high security watch. They are discouraged from talking to other patients, but a word or two here and there couldn't be any harm, right? They begin meeting in a group session once every two weeks and continue their once a week one-on-one counselling. They come up with strategies and life goals to try and follow. Most patients generally get stuck at this stage, very little of them advance to stage three.
Stage Three;
Stage Three sociopaths are allowed out of their rooms from 10 AM until 7 PM, until medium security. It's often then that security loses track of them, but the ones that don't come back by 7 are usually found in their room the next morning anyways. They meet with their one-on-one counselor each morning when they wake up, before they have their shower.
Stage Four;[/b]
Stage four, patients are reduced their hours of freedom to noon until 2 pm to see how they handle change. If they act out, they go immediately back to stage one. If they deal with change effectively, they are allowed to leave their solitary confinement room from 9 AM to 10 PM on minimum watch and can leave the House with the use of a sign out book, and are to be back within two hours of leaving. If not, the police will be notified. Meetings occur with a one-on-one counselor once a week, and once they feel the patient is ready to leave, they are released back into society.
