Matt Talbot Residential Treatment for Women

The Matt Talbot Residential Treatment provides substance abuse treatment for men and women with alcohol and/or other drug dependencies. They also offer treatment for clients with a dual diagnosis.

This particular location for women is in Parma, Ohio just outside Cleveland. The treatment center is part of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Cleveland. They offer treatment regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, disability or ability to pay.

The Matt Talbot Residential Treatment offers gender-specific units. The women’s program provides education about addiction, recovery and relapse prevention as well as individual and group counseling. Medication-assisted treatment is also available for women with opioid use disorders.

I like that they offer cultural and gender specific life skills training to support each woman in her recovery long after she leaves treatment.

The women at Matt Talbot get access to housing, all daily meals and personal care items. I am impressed by the breadth of their discharge planning services. These include employment and job readiness training and referrals, sober housing information, sober recreation and a continuing care plan.

Each resident will have a case manager that will work with them one-on-one to aid them through any obstacles they may face to their recovery.

The Matt Talbot program has certain requirements to admit patients into the program.

Prospective residents must have a diagnosis of chemical dependency or substance use disorder. They must be medically and psychiatrically stable. They must be able to participate in a group setting and be motivated to participate in a 12-step recovery program.

It’s important to note that they don’t offer detox. If a client enters treatment intoxicated, they may be referred to a community detox center before getting started at Matt Talbot.
