About Harris House Treatment and Recovery Center
Harris House Treatment is a comprehensive rehab center in St. Louis, Missouri. It has a thorough and graduated program for adults with drug and alcohol addictions. People of all genders over age 18 are welcome.
I’m impressed by the full continuum of care that this rehab has. You can start at the raw beginning of your recovery journey and progress through as your sobriety gets more and more stable. You always have the level of care you need, but you don’t have to jump around from one rehab to another to find that level of care because it’s all right here.
You’ll probably start with the inpatient program, which lasts for 28 days. It includes detox along with inpatient care. At this sensitive time of your early recovery, you’ll get an enormous amount of support. Every program is customized for you, but you’ll have individual counseling plus several group sessions that can be educational classes, group therapy, or other aspects of recovery. They’ll introduce you to 12 Step programs too which can be a major part of maintaining your sobriety after rehab.
After inpatient rehab, this treatment center has multiple levels of outpatient care. There’s a day treatment program where treatment is basically your full time job. You’ll come to the center for treatment five days a week but you live at home or in the rehab’s sober living environment. The next step down is an intensive outpatient program that still has a significant treatment schedule but it’s not as much as day treatment. You can work full time until you graduate.
With this progression of programs, Harris House can see you through your recovery journey and you can use their aftercare to stay sober too. It’s accredited by CARF, so this rehab knows how to get you on the path to a strong and healthy sober life.

Levels of Care at Harris House Treatment and Recovery Center
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.

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 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.
