description: By incorporating community and urban factors into a healing setting, the transition from recovery to the daily life of an individual is possible. This, overall, will benefit the lifelong commitment alcoholics have with becoming and staying sober. There is a strongdisconnect during the period between recovery and returning to everyday life. This thesis develops a rehabilitation center that offers a series of thresholds: one at the urban scale that defeats the idea of isolated healing; the next at an architectural scale that contains program that relates to both the patient and the community.
