Casa Esperanza – Latinas y Ninos Center - Addiction Treatment Services

About Casa Esperanza – Latinas y Ninos Center – Boston

Casa Esperanza is a bilingual and bicultural behavioral health center. They provide free support to the Latino community in Massachusetts in both English and Spanish. Their Latinas y Niños program is a co-occurring substance use and mental health residential treatment center for women and their children. It is located in Boston.

They offer treatment, support and a peer community to help women chart a path forward for their recovery and wellbeing.

Latinas y Niños offers treatment for pregnant and postpartum women as well as mothers with children under 10 years old.

This residence has beds for single women and family rooms that accommodate women and their children. I like that clients are able to get residential recovery treatment without being separated from her children. Staff also help mothers with family support services like helping her reunify with children and will also arrange visitations.

All services are trauma-informed and tailored to meet the needs of each woman. You’ll work with your care team to design a personal care plan. You’ll work on building life skills, gaining your independence and improving your parenting skills.

Latinas y Niños enables women to overcome their addiction and stabilize their mental health challenges. They provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) as well as individual and group therapy.

I appreciate that they also offer comprehensive case management and aftercare planning services here. Each resident gets access to medical and psychiatric evaluations and assessments as well as on-site stabilization and monitoring.

Casa Esperanza will also connect you with referrals to other community resources and services you may need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

12-Step

12 step programs such as Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous are support group style programs for individuals who are experiencing alcohol or substance use disorder. At Evoke they use a holistic model of addiction care that includes using 12 step programs. These programs are an integral part of most relapse prevention plans and provide continued support and accountability that support sobriety.

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
