About Volunteers of America Outpatient Treatment Program Houston
Volunteers of America Outpatient Treatment Program Houston provides addiction care for adults in Houston, Texas. For over 100 years, this nonprofit organization has helped individuals overcome substance abuse and other life challenges, like homelessness, poverty, and abuse.
You can access outpatient treatment to reach your recovery goals while living at home. They accept government and federal funding, as well as SAMHSA funding to get the help you need.
Medication Assisted Treatment
One great feature I noticed was their specialized treatment for opioid addiction. Quitting opioids can often come with uncomfortable cravings and withdrawal symptoms that can hinder recovery. You can participate in medication assisted treatment (MAT) to manage these physical symptoms while focusing on your journey. You’ll also participate in behavioral therapies to get to the root of addiction.
Specialized Women’s Tracks & Supportive Services
What stands out most to me is that they offer tailored programs for women. Expectant mothers and women with children can access targeted care that accounts for the unique effects that addiction can have on new parents and their babies. They also offer parenting classes to provide the tools to support your family and strengthen relationships.
Another nice thing I noticed was their supportive services. They understand that reaching sobriety is just one part of recovery. You can participate in financial support services, job preparation, job training, and housing placement. These approaches can help you rebuild your life and create a solid foundation for lasting recovery.
Trauma and Domestic Abuse Treatment
I also think their trauma and domestic abuse services seem wonderful. Abuse and past traumatic experiences can impact addiction and your receptiveness to treatment. They create a safe space to overcome these challenges and heal.
