About Hope House Inc – Augusta
Hope House is a comprehensive treatment center in Augusta, Georgia. They serve low-income and homeless women affected by substance use disorders or mental health disorders. Services are also available for single, pregnant and postpartum women. These women can bring their minor children into treatment with them. Women attempting to regain custody of their children can also access treatment. They offer residential and intensive outpatient treatment programs and a long term supportive housing facility for women.
Their programs foster independence through comprehensive treatment that breaks the cycles of substance misuse, untreated mental illness and poverty. The recovery approach for each program uses the medical model with an emphasis on community support. The programs begin with evaluation and screening. Clients are required to participate in group and individual sessions or classes. This helps you address underlying personal issues, build solid coping skills and develop relapse prevention strategies. You’ll also benefit from their life skills training, employment support and educational assistance. Peer support is provided by certified peer advocates.
They also provide parenting and family support as well as case management services. These services are similar across all the programs. However, the pregnant and postpartum women program involves additional services. These encompass linkage to OBGYN/psychiatric care and home visits by qualified nurses or parenting coaches. Their holistic care also considers the therapeutic needs of the minor children. Their core services range from disability screenings and school readiness skills to substance use prevention programs. Your child will definitely get the best quality of care as you recover.
They also offer reunification assistance. This can be helpful if your child is in foster care and you’re trying to regain custody. Their residential treatment provides structured care in a safe and supportive setting for 6 to 24 months. This depends on the unique needs of the individual and family. The average stay is nine months, with a minimum stay of six months. The intensive outpatient care is less structured and more flexible. Depending on the severity of your situation you can also move through their whole continuum of care. This means transitioning from residential care to intensive outpatient treatment followed by supportive housing.
