About The Salvation Army USA | Coastal Alabama Area Command – Mobile

The Salvation Army USA Coastal Alabama Area Command in Mobile, Alabama, provides a variety of social support services and transitional housing for adults struggling with substance abuse. This is done with a spiritual approach inspired by the love of God.

For individuals who may have already undergone addiction treatment services, this facility offers transitional housing where they can put all the recovery skills they’ve learned into practice. They can do this while transitioning into their independence and laying the foundations for a new, sober chapter in their lives. They’ll be surrounded by a supportive house of fellow peers and residents going through similar experiences.

While living in transitional housing, individuals can access casework services as well as financial assistance. The Salvation Army also offers employment support opportunities.

Besides transitional housing, individuals can also access a variety of social support services like a food pantry as well as food and nutrition support to ensure they’re healthy and well fed, no matter what. Emergency shelter can also be provided as well as spiritual guidance and worship services at the facility’s local church.

For individuals in need of more structured drug rehab and addiction treatment services, there’s also an inpatient drug rehab program for adults held here. This features holistic work therapy alongside traditional talk therapy. Talk therapy is offered in one-to-one and group sessions.

Residents participating in this program can also seek spiritual direction as part of their recovery journey. Individuals develop practical life skills and relapse prevention techniques that can support them in abandoning their addictive tendencies.

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.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

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.
