The experienced clinicians at House of Mercy provide round the clock medical supervision for clients detoxing from drugs and alcohol. They are licensed to prescribe FDA approved medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and prevent potentially life threatening complications.

The inpatient program at House of Mercy is designed to allow clients to focus on their recovery in a safe, comfortable, and highly supportive environment. While in inpatient care, clients attend multiple therapy sessions daily, including a combination of individual, group, and family counseling. They also work on recovery focused life skills to support long term health and sobriety, including courses on coping, stress and anger management, self care, nutrition and wellness, problem solving, communication, conflict resolution, and relapse prevention.

House of Mercy’s outpatient programs encompass multiple levels of care to align with clients’ evolving needs. Their intensive outpatient program (IOP) offers more substantive support for clients in early recovery or at heightened risk of relapse. Both IOP and traditional outpatient programs allow clients to continue cultivating their recovery through robust and frequent counseling, education, and training. Likewise, House of Mercy’s sober living programs enable clients who are stepping down from intensive inpatient care to transition into a structured and supportive sober environment while preparing to reintegrate into their homes and communities.

House of Mercy’s full complement of aftercare services are intended to promote sustained sobriety through a substantive continuum of care. Depending on clients’ unique needs, these services may include 12 step program induction, peer coaching, social service referrals, and career counseling.
