Information You Need to Know

  • The Weekend Intervention Program is held on the campus of Wright State University (WSU) in the School of Medicine Building. (Click here for directions and a map outlining routes to the Wright State University campus.) Due to limited parking availability on campus, we encourage participants to arrange alternative methods of transportation. If you must drive yourself to campus, permits are required in all parking lots. Any fines incurred due to failure to display a proper permit will be your responsibility. Permits for visitors staying overnight may be purchased in advance through the office of the Weekend Intervention Program. The cost is $2.00.

  • Return all necessary paperwork to the Weekend Intervention Program along with the appropriate fees. You are not considered confirmed until fees and paperwork are received by the Weekend Intervention Program office, at least two weeks prior to your scheduled program. If you are a recipient of TANF, Medicaid, SSI, or Social Security Disability, or if you have been determined to be indigent by the court, you may be able to receive some assistance with program fees. Call our office at 937-775-3050 for further information.
