Editor’s Corner
by
Michelle Shaw
Welcome everyone to the eighth edition of In the
House. This year has been a transitional period
for Nova House, we have seen a lot of old faces go
and new faces come. We have modified our program
methodology on the IDDT unit, we have
incorporated coed treatment on our Residential
unit and we continue to evaluate our human
resources to match the right people with the right
jobs.
On
the IT side we have upgraded our computer systems,
we are upgrading clinical software programs and we
have designed and implemented several databases
and procedures to capture outcome data.
I
look forward to the new year and challenges that
awaits. If you have any questions, comments or
ideas, please send me an email at novaeditor@novahouse.org
or 937/253-1680 extension 226.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide quality,
integrated services to substance abusers and the
