Programs: 28-Day Intensive Program

Traditional 28-day residential program offers substance abuse treatment

Our traditional 28-day substance abuse treatment program is for men and women age 18 and over who have alcohol and/or drug abuse problems.  Harris House provides individual treatment plans for each client that typically include individual counseling plus two group meetings every morning and three group sessions every afternoon and evening. 

Group sessions can be either educational or process-oriented.  Educational groups cover the physiological damage of addiction to the body, disease theory, Alcoholics Anonymous steps, and relapse avoidance.  Topics of the process group sessions include how to deal with feelings in a healthy way, family dynamics and reunification basics, anger management, stress management, spirituality, and how to have sober fun. 

Weekly counseling sessions involve both the family and the client in the alcohol and substance abuse treatment plan.  Although clients are busy with program activities all day every day, the schedule is relaxed a bit on Sundays, and clients are able to have some free time.  Visiting hours are on Sunday afternoons.

The Harris House 28-day program is in a new facility in a safe and secure urban area, where clients have semi-private rooms. Detox programs through Harris House or through coordinated placement in a local facility, depending on need. Airport pickup provided for clients from outside St. Louis. Graduates of our program are encouraged to participate in weekly aftercare groups for a year after treatment.
