DWC – Gratitude House - Addiction Treatment Services

About DWC – Gratitude House – Amarillo

DWC Gratitude House, located in Amarillo, Texas, is a facility of Downtown Women’s Center. They provide a structured and supportive environment for women recovering from substance use. As part of DWC’s broader recovery program, Gratitude House is a transitional living facility where women and their children can continue their journey toward stability. This facility is specifically designed for women who have already taken steps toward recovery and need additional support to maintain sobriety while working toward independence.

At Gratitude House you’ll find fully furnished apartments with one or two bedrooms designed to provide a peaceful space while you work on your recovery. Unlike shelters this program focuses on helping women create long-term stability, with staff available 24/7 to assist when needed. This secure living space helps reduce relapse and promotes personal and professional growth.

The facility focuses on building accountability among their community. Women in the program participate in 12 Step meetings to reinforce their commitment to sobriety with help from peers who share similar experiences. There are also mandatory house meetings to discuss challenges. DWC encourages women to find work or attend school as part of rebuilding their lives and moving toward independence. The program ensures that recovery isn’t just about overcoming substance use but about gaining the skills needed for long term independence.

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.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

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.

Sober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

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.
