Honor System



 

 

 

With each level comes increased privileges.   These include later bedtime, use of the level/honor room, outings, both social and educational, social activities, shopping at the "Point Store", unit lobby time, trust walks, eligibility for passes and many other incentives

In order to assist resident's movement through the program, we have created the Honor System.   The Honor System is made up of 6 stages:

Orientation - Honor 1
On the ORIENTATION LEVEL the resident will become adjusted to life at Keystone.   The resident will be expected to read, to learn, and to understand the HANDBOOK.   In addition, the resident  will learn and follow the UNIT SCHEDULE.   At this level the resident will begin formulating goals for the resident's individualized treatment plan.
Bronze - Honor 2
On the BRONZE LEVEL the resident will be taught how the program works, what is expected, and what can be expected from the staff.  The resident will be taught the program philosophy, program goals and objectives, and program rules and expectations.  By ensuring you understand why you are in the program, success becomes your personal choice.
Silver - Honor 3
The primary focus of the SILVER LEVEL of the program is to help the resident recognize the patterns of thinking that have resulted in unhealthy behaviors.  The first step in making good decisions is to recognize why previous decisions did not work.   The resident is required to complete a series of written assignments, group discussion topics, and other program activities designed to achieve this goal prior to promotion to the Gold Level.
Gold - Honor 4
The focus of the GOLD LEVEL of the program is to help the resident see how unhealthy behaviors have affected both the resident and others.   This honor also focuses on learning how to develop healthy relationships and developing an internal motivation for change.  The resident is required to complete a series of written assignments, group discussion topics, and other program activities designed to achieve this goal prior to promotion to the Sapphire Level.
Sapphire - Honor 5
The focus of the SAPPHIRE LEVEL of the program is on learning new skills in decision-making, critical thinking, and problem solving.   This also allows you to practice new skills with the guidance and support of the staff.  The resident is required to complete a series of written assignments, group discussion topics, and other program activities designed to achieve this goal prior to promotion to Diamond Level.
Diamond - Honor 6
The focus of the DIAMOND LEVEL is on developing the skills that will help the resident practice what the resident has learned once the resident leaves Keystone.   At this point, the resident has the responsibility of role-modeling healthy behaviors to new residents in the program who are struggling with old thinking and behavior patterns.
