About SCAN – Serving Children and Adults in Need – Serenidad Women’s Recovery Home – Laredo

Just a few miles from the Mexico border is Laredo, Texas. The city is home to SCAN’s Serenidad Women’s Recovery Home. Their residential program is for adult women. You can participate in care for substance abuse and mental health disorders to reach your recovery goals.

Residential programs allow you to live on campus and receive continuous care. With an almost 95% Hispanic population, their program offers a culturally sensitive approach with services in Spanish and English. Their facility has 12 beds and offers proven therapeutic approaches. There are group, individual, and family counseling, case management, and relapse prevention workshops. These interventions build essential coping and life skills.

Their support services are pretty notable. You can access holistic care to heal your mind and soul. Recreational and social activities, mindfulness groups, and old fashioned exercising are available. You’ll benefit from adopting self-care activities and discovering new ways to have fun without drugs.

It’s also neat that Laredo has some cool amenities to supplement your care. Offsite, you can go to Rio Bravo River Park to the west or the Ricardo Molina Sr. Community Center across town. Unwind, relax, and stretch your legs between sessions.

Another feature I noticed was they offer a tobacco cessation program. Nicotine addiction can be just as harmful as drugs or alcohol. They help you take your health back and overcome tobacco use.

I like that they accept pregnant women. They strive to help you strengthen and rebuild your bond with your children with family resources. You can access referrals to services for your children, reproductive healthcare, and parenting services. That way you can access the tools to foster a brighter future for you and your baby.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

12-Step

12 step programs such as Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous are support group style programs for individuals who are experiencing alcohol or substance use disorder. At Evoke they use a holistic model of addiction care that includes using 12 step programs. These programs are an integral part of most relapse prevention plans and provide continued support and accountability that support sobriety.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Sober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
