About Volunteers of America – Houston
Volunteers of America provides an array of community based services for individuals across the country. At their Fresh Start Program in Houston, Texas office, they offer outpatient treatment for adults with substance use disorders. They have special assistance available for opioid addicted persons, mothers with children, and people who have been through trauma.
I like that this program doesn’t just treat the addiction itself. Instead, they also focus on the other areas of your life that might have been impacted by chemical dependency, such as your job situation and housing. If you need help finding somewhere to live or securing a job that fits your skill set, they’ll put you on the right track. Their goal is to help you regain your solid footing so you can strengthen your relationships and create a strong network of support. That way, you’ll reclaim what you’ve lost through addiction.
Some of the services they offer include parenting classes, career counseling and training, financial support, and housing placement. They also go into local schools to educate children and teens on the dangers of addiction and encourage them to make good choices.
Several clients say this is a great place to go for assistance when you’re in a time of need. They mention that the staff here is more helpful than most, and is always available.
