About Hogar del Buen Pastor – San Juan
Hogar del Buen Pastor is a nonprofit organization that offers shelter and addiction treatment for people in need in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It’s located in Puerta de Tierra and not far from Playa del Capitolio and Paseo Puerta de Tierra.
This facility is very unique. It’s a shelter for adults over 18 who are homeless. But rather than just giving them a place to stay it helps people get on their feet. One of the ways the Hogar del Buen Pastor does this is with a residential rehab program for drug and alcohol addiction.
During your program here you’ll have a varied blend of treatment approaches. There are traditional therapies with addiction specialists and 12 Step meetings as well as more holistic and alternative treatments like acupuncture and aromatherapy. During your time here you’ll explore why your addiction developed and work on your personal growth in ways that will help you make healthier decisions for your future.
Mental health care is an important part of the services here, including for people who have a dual diagnosis. But they have other services that help you with different aspects of establishing your new life in recovery, too. For example, they have resume workshops and skills training to help you get a stable job and maintain a safe and healthy home.
