Men's & Women's Halfway Houses

 Transitional living for men and women returning to the community from inpatient substance treatment facilities

Men's & Women's Halfway Houses

​

Catholic Charities philosophy for both our Men’s and Women’s Halfway Houses is to provide a positive living environment that offers transitional living for men and women returning to the community from inpatient substance treatment facilities.

 

The program focuses on restoring and building health, independence, and productive lifestyles, while following the normally prescribed mutual help model of treatment. Following this model, the Community Residence program provides a substance- free environment where the residents can employ goals and objectives designed to facilitate the recovery process. The establishment and attainment of these personal objectives will allow individuals in recovery to maintain sobriety and to work toward becoming self-supporting and productive members of our community.

 

The goal of the Community Residences is to provide individuals with a homelike, alcohol and drug-free environment together with access to a full range of substance abuse treatment services. The program also links participants with the educational, vocational, social and self-help services needed to promote their recovery. The program strongly emphasizes peer support as the cornerstone for the development of each participant’s sober support network.
