About Harris House Treatment and Recovery Center
Harris House in St. Louis, Missouri, is a nonprofit traditional housing center that provides alcohol and drug addiction treatment to adults. Since 1961, they’ve provided treatment based on research and client feedback. Along with evidence based recovery services, they also offer holistic therapeutic approaches as a part of a patient’s individualized treatment plan. The programs available at this facility include detox, partial hospitalization (PHP) and inpatient (IP) and outpatient (OP) services.
Beyond treating addiction, Harris House helps clients to heal from mental health related issues. Counseling is provided for depression, anxiety and anger stress management. One thing that I like about this facility is that they provide patients with training in employment skills so they can better support themselves after recovery.
The intensive inpatient program is available to men and women who are 18 and older. Clients will participate in one individual counseling session and two group meetings every morning, and three additional group sessions in the afternoon and evening.
Harris House has two types of group sessions that are either process oriented or educational. The process oriented group sessions discuss issues such as managing feelings in a healthy way and stress management. The educational group sessions discuss relapse avoidance, trigger identification and other related issues.
Weekly family counseling sessions are available to involve the family in the client’s substance abuse treatment plan. These sessions will typically focus on healing relationships and educating the family on how to support the client’s addiction recovery.
The intensive outpatient program is an option for working adults that lasts four to twelve weeks or longer if needed. Clients will learn to control impulses, set healthy boundaries and increase their self esteem. Counselors help patients to achieve this through holistic therapeutic approaches such as dialectical (DBT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
They also feature transitional housing for young adults who’re ready to enter sober living. You’ll have more independence to find steady work and daily living routines. At the same time, you’ll also attend classes and meet with fellow residents to undergo group work and chores.

Levels of Care
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.
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 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. The Intensive Outpatient Program gives patients the chance to participate in a structured treatment plan part-time while they transition back to home and work or other responsibilities.
Aftercare
Rehab aftercare programs offer continuing care for clients in the maintenance phase of recovery and are designed to evolve over time. Outpatient treatment is generally categorized as drug rehab aftercare, but many clients continue to receive services after being discharged from formal care. These services are customized to clients' unique recovery goals, but typically include medical, mental health, and social services. Clients' case manager and recovery team play a key role in developing the client's care plan.
Sober Living Homes
A sober living home in Missouri is designed to foster character development, accountability, camaraderie, and mutual peer encouragement. In this communal-living setting, individuals in recovery share household responsibilities and participate in 12-step programs together. Residents can remain in the home as long as they want, as long as they follow the house rules. An average stay in men's or women's sober living lasts between five and eight months.
Intervention Services
A drug intervention in Missouri is a planned meeting between a person struggling with addiction and their close friends and family members. The goal of the intervention is to motivate the individual to seek treatment. To be successful, an intervention requires careful planning which may involve intervention services from an intervention specialist. Theyl can be certified by the Association of Intervention Specialists, or they may have other expertise that qualifies them for this role.
Partial Hospitalization Program
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.
Medically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one’s body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence based therapy that addresses trauma and post traumatic stress disorder by using bilateral stimulation.

Family Therapy
Family therapy sessions help individual family members in Missouri learn to improve their communication skills and understand how the family dynamic is both affected by addiction and affects their loved one's addiction. Therapists work with individual members to identify and modify negative behaviors which helps create a more supportive home environment.
Life Skills
Life skills give you the ability to maintain healthy relationships, complete day to day tasks, and cope with challenges. Because substance use disorder often diminishes these skills, rehab in Missouri includes integrated life skills training to rebuild and reinforce these abilities.
Experiential Therapy
Experiential therapy is not limited to one type of intervention. It includes a variety of hands on interventions that focus on creativity, emotions, personal interactions, and reflection. These activities can bring attitudes and feelings to the surface that are otherwise buried and allow you to work through them and learn from them.
