About Capuchin Soup Kitchen – Jefferson House – Detroit
The Capuchin Soup Kitchen – Jefferson House is a 12 Step based substance abuse program in Detroit, Michigan. Adults who qualify can receive residential and general outpatient care. Other services provided by Capuchin Soup Kitchen include spiritual support, work support and a meal program.
The residential program is available to men by referral from other inpatient programs. The group recovery model has a substance abuse counselor overseeing private meetings where participants share their struggles and experiences while learning coping and sober living skills. Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings also make up the general outpatient program.
What I like most about treatment at this facility is that program participants have the opportunity to work at the locations to develop work experience. Work opportunities aren’t uncommon in substance abuse treatment, but Capuchin Soup Kitchen differs from many by providing a stipend. By comparison, many programs focus solely on the work itself serving as a means to avoid relapse. I like the added layer of financial support Capuchin Soup Kitchen provides, as it can give participants an added sense of value.
