THE SEMI RESIDENTIAL THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITY

This structure - the first of its kind in Rome -  was established in 1976. The therapeutic programme is structured taking into consideration each patient’s individuality.

This program implies a twenty-month full participation in group therapy, sports and cultural activities, including a total involvement in the daily life of each community programme. Users are also regularly assisted by the Foundation’s Clinic Service.
