Our staff knows that when women are admitted they are suffering the mental, social and physical deterioration of addiction. Having come from very low income environments many are not strangers to neglect or abuse and generally have been living in chaos. Most clients also have a co-existing mental illness. Treatment is generally four to six months in the 14-bed Clay Street Residence.
“Addiction is a very dark and hopeless place,” says one of our counselors. “A place closely connected to loss, trauma and pain.” The first step out of the darkness is a welcoming hand to lead you through intake, followed by individualized assessment and treatment planning. One of the hallmarks of our treatment process is individualized case management. Our staff makes certain that these often emotionally fragile and scattered new clients receive the individualized attention and support they need.
Door to Hope’s staff of seasoned professionals brings varied expertise, experience and education to the treatment process. There are addiction counselors, therapists, family counselors and experts in various fields including parenting, stress, anger and mood management, trauma and grief resolution, to name a few.
Of particular importance is focusing on issues that are unique to women as well as recovery education and relapse prevention programs, aftercare and emphasis on the 12-Step principles and practices. Most of our staff are in recovery and empathize with the difficulties faced by our clients.
Equally important to the professional treatment modalities is the staffs’ extraordinary level of caring and emotional support, which are vital to clients’ recovery. A client who had been in treatment for several months recently commented: “There is a wonderful feel to it here. I’m impressed with how passionate the staff is about recovery and how kind they are.”
