About Soul’s Harbor – Dallas
The nonprofit residential recovery facility located in Dallas, Texas, called Soul’s Harbor is a facility for men who are facing homelessness and substance misuse or a combination of both. They have a six-month residential program that helps you focus on getting better through a structured program that involves work therapy, relapse prevention, life skills training and spiritual growth. They can help you be self-sufficient and even help you get a job, which can eventually lead to your reintegrating back into society successfully with financial stability.
Their six-month residential program includes a structured daily schedule as well as work therapy assignments that can give you a sense of purpose. I like that they also put a big emphasis on relapse prevention strategies and use a 12 Step model to keep you on the right path. They even have some more unique courses such as anger management, and they provide spiritual support by including Bible studies, prayer sessions and community fellowship in your program.
I noticed that they go the holistic route by dealing with not only your mental health but your physical, emotional, spiritual and even social health. They have 12 Step recovery meetings that are offered both at the location and through other external groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous. They also have support groups and give individual counseling to men who are dealing with trauma.
Their work therapy and job training program can involve your giving a helping hand at their Soul’s Harbor thrift stores, learning customer service, doing inventory management, and retail sales. It’s a great opportunity for you to get hands-on work experience while you recover. They also help you build your resume so that it’s in peak condition when you send it out to companies. Finally, they offer transitional housing and court-ordered rehabilitation, as well as support for veterans.
