About Open Door Mission – Houston
Open Door Mission is a substance use disorder treatment facility that provides services to men who are homeless in Houston, Texas. The residential facility has been helping individuals in the community recover from addiction for over 70 years. Some of the treatments that may be a part of your care include counseling for co occurring mental health disorders and family support services.
The residential program will last around four to five months. Open Door Mission will use proven treatments to help you heal from addiction, including life skills training, individual counseling, and group therapy.
The main goal the facility wants to achieve is helping you remain sober and get reintegrated into the community again. Counselors will work with you in developing relapse prevention strategies to help you avoid using substances in the future.
Patients can receive assistance with their education through a variety of services that are offered. Some of the educational programs available are the GED program and the Digital Literacy Certification program. The organization also partners with SER Jobs Training and Houston Community College to provide vocational training and certifications after a patient graduates.
Open Door Mission desires to see their clients get to a point where they can have an independent lifestyle after they complete the residential program. The facility has a transition program where clients can stay for up to six months as they work, save money and get used to their new sober lifestyle.
In addition to the transitional living program, you will also have access to the alumni support program. You’ll receive access to support groups, opportunities for fellowship with alumni, and ongoing career guidance.
The residential facility is located just 20 minutes outside of downtown Houston. Some sober activities that you can consider doing outside of your treatment sessions include visiting the Houston Zoo or going for a walk at Hermann Park.
