The Options Clubhouse

The Options Clubhouse guarantees its members the Clubhouse philosophy — "a place to come, a place for meaningful relationships, a place for meaningful work and a place to return."

The Options Clubhouse forms a hub where members work to pull together the pieces of their lives and to celebrate their accomplishments, small or large, along the way, building their self-esteem — a key component in the recovery process.

Staff and members work together as partners to offer a safe and structured environment where members take what they can manage and apply it in a way that's useful and meaningful to their lives.

A Support System

Most important to members' success in recovery is the support of friends. With over 200 people attending the Options Clubhouse each year, members find support among those recovering from similar illnesses.

Members also find support from knowledgeable staff who guide them through difficult situations and encourage them to explore new opportunities.

When members are ill or fail to come to the Options Clubhouse at their usual time, other members and staff reach out to offer a helping hand and remind their friends that they have a support system to help them through hard times.

The Center of Activity

Available six days a week and all major holidays, the Options Clubhouse often becomes a center of social activity for members. Members and staff join together for meals, dances, holiday celebrations, fundraising, and community service activities. Learn what Club members have to say about the Options Clubhouse.

Camaraderie

As you walk into the Options Clubhouse, you will see people working side by side: staff and members partnering to get the needs of the day accomplished.

You will also find members saying good-bye to each other as they go off to their jobs, knowing that they have a place to return and where people understand and care.
