Group Schedule for October
There are MANY changes to our group schedule starting this month. Read the attached page for new groups and times and talk with your counselor for the best groups for you to attend. These groups will be included in your treatment plan and be required in order for you to be eligible to advance in take home phases.
***********************************
Last day for group credit/compliance in October will be Tuesday, October 24th. Billing changes will be turned into the business office on Wednesday and will be effective on Saturday, October 28th.
Walker Recovery Website
The Walker Recovery website can be found at www.methadonesouth.com by clicking on the WRC logo at the top of the page. You will be able to check this site for updates on groups, dosing times, etc. Also included are links to other methadone information sites.

************************************
Welcome to Challa Pettis, our newest counselor! Challa will be taking over Melanie Lee’s caseload in the next few weeks. We will miss Melanie and wish her the best of luck at her new position in Cullman.
************************************
v Before you sign a refusal you may pay $15 for a mouth swab toxicology test. Ask the nurse!

Take Note:
The staff at Walker Recovery is selecting a “Client of the Week” during treatment team meetings. This client does not have to be a phase client; just someone who has gone above and beyond what is required of them. The rewards are a designated parking spot at the front of the building and the privilege of moving to the front of the line in dosing. The Client of the Week’s number is posted in the dosing lobby and also listed in the newsletter.

The “Client of the Week” for October:
Oct. 2- 8 #1924 Oct. 16-22 #1023
Oct. 9-15 #3167 Oct. 23-30 #2883

The Clients of the Week for September were #2490, #1243, #2623 and #2891.
Congratulations to all of you!
*********************************
The Client Advocacy Board is looking for a few new members. This group meets on the 1st Thursday of each month at 6 p.m. If you think you may be interested in being part of this group of clients, please talk to your counselor.
*********************************
Flip Flops for Tots will continue through October. Dr. Camp will be taking the shoes to Honduras in November. Put your client number somewhere on the bag or tag with the shoes or make sure your counselor knows you have donated the shoes in order for you to get group credit.


October 2006 Physicals

Dr. Camp is in the clinic on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 2 pm until 4 pm and on Wednesday from 10 am until 4 pm. Please make appointments with the front office for your physical and to see your counselor. You have the month your physical is due to schedule and keep an appointment. All physicals are held at Walker Recovery Center. Check with your counselor to make sure your physical is not past due from a previous month to avoid a possible dose reduction.
