Sojourner House

Sojourner House provides residential treatment specifically designed for mothers facing substance use disorders, offering programs that last up to six months. This extended timeframe allows mothers to work through early recovery challenges while maintaining their parental responsibilities. The residential setting provides 24-hour support and structure, essential for mothers who need intensive intervention while caring for their children.

The residential treatment program incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help mothers identify triggers, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and build skills for long-term recovery success. Unlike traditional rehab facilities that separate families, Sojourner House recognizes that mothers often need their children nearby to fully engage in treatment and maintain motivation for recovery.

Beyond residential care, Sojourner House offers outpatient program services that provide flexibility for mothers transitioning back to independent living. These programs allow participants to maintain employment, attend school, or manage other responsibilities while continuing to receive addiction treatment support. The outpatient approach serves as a natural progression from residential treatment or as a primary intervention for mothers who don't require 24-hour supervision.

Outpatient services maintain the same family-focused approach that defines Sojourner House's treatment philosophy. Mothers can access therapeutic support, case management, and recovery planning while living in the community, creating a bridge between intensive treatment and independent recovery maintenance.

Sojourner House extends its support far beyond traditional addiction treatment through comprehensive aftercare services that include transitional and permanent supportive housing options. This housing continuum addresses one of the most significant barriers to sustained recovery - stable living situations for mothers and their children. The transitional housing phase provides supervised independence while mothers strengthen their recovery foundation.

Permanent supportive housing represents the program's long-term commitment to family stability, offering ongoing case management and support services as mothers establish independent lives. This comprehensive aftercare approach significantly improves recovery outcomes by addressing housing insecurity, a major relapse risk factor for mothers in recovery.

The recovery center serves diverse populations including pregnant women, young adults ages 18-25, and mothers dealing with trauma or co-occurring mental health conditions. This specialized focus allows staff to address the unique challenges each group faces during recovery. Pregnant women receive additional medical oversight and preparation for parenting in recovery, while young adult mothers get age-appropriate programming that addresses developmental needs alongside addiction treatment.

Sojourner House's dual diagnosis capabilities serve mothers struggling with both substance use disorders and mental health conditions like PTSD or depression. This integrated treatment approach recognizes that lasting recovery often requires addressing multiple, interconnected issues that contribute to addiction and interfere with successful parenting.
