About Good Shepherd Mission

If you need addiction treatment in Huntsville, Texas, you can visit the Good Shepherd Mission HOPE House, which stands for Healing Open Personalized Environment. This is a nine month faith based residential treatment program for adults. They focus on treating your mind, body, and soul so you can achieve long term recovery. The services are free for qualifying individuals.

The goal of this program is to give you the resources you need to become sober and self sufficient. Up to 12 people can participate at a time, and they’ll work closely with you to understand your specific needs. If they think outpatient counseling services will help you, they’ll refer you to individual and group sessions through The Counseling Center at Sam Houston State University.

The foundation of this program is a reliance on God. As you learn how to find safety and support through the Bible, you can speak with spiritual counselors about any underlying conditions you’re facing, such as depression or anxiety. They’ll help you understand how you can overcome those conditions by strengthening your faith and turning to the scriptures for support.

One interesting aspect of this facility is that the HOPE House isn’t the only available program here. People can also visit the facility to find food, clothing, and temporary shelter. This speaks to the heart of the team and their willingness to support the basic needs of their community. It also shows that they consider addiction recovery to be as necessary as everyday essentials, including food and housing.

I stayed at the mission when l fell in hard times back in 2016 however, one of your clients that stayed there back then Barbara Ruiz was using one of your workers at the furniture store to give her tons of free furniture from the shop plus she was having some sort of relationship with him at the time. Y'all wouldn't let me back into the shelter because of her. I actually had to get one of my friends to pick me up and get me away from that situation and l told her when l moved out that l told the new landlord at the apartment what she had done. For three years that woman said she wanted 8,000 from me so she could move to Colorado she thought l owed from back rent. Never will l have another female " roommate" again!

Other Forms of Payment

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
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.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Rehab aftercare programs are based on a model of continuing care and the premise that recovery is a life-long process requiring ongoing client support. Many rehab aftercare services include outpatient care, but clients often continue to receive support after being discharged from formal treatment. Case managers and care teams typically collaborate with clients to design their long-term care plan, which may include peer coaching, career counseling, and 12 step program induction, among other services.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically 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.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

During rehab in Texas, you'll deal with underlying issues that contribute to addiction. By addressing these challenges and learning healthy ways to cope with them, you'll develop strategies that help you live a drug-free lifestyle.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Together with an experienced trauma therapist, you work on healing emotional wounds from traumatic experiences within a trauma therapy environment. Your therapist will help you process the experience of the trauma, which promotes emotional healing and improves your overall mental health.

Couples therapy helps couples learn to control emotions, trust each other, and communicate more effectively. It can be useful for short term intervention for a specific issue or for working on the relationship long term.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.

Let's do the math Shelter or the streets.. Hungry or grocery cart full of food.. Help with your resume or beg on the corner.. Low prices at the thrift shop to help family's in need or dumpster diving? I'm not here to prove anything but to thank the good shepherd for being the only people who listened when I wanted to change my life instead of providing them with chapters of my life nobody needs to hear. For those who read this and want to know how simple it is to get accepted with understanding these concepts. 1]gratitude 2]sobriety 3]work ethic (@ the bare minimum if that) 4] last but not least refrain from drama and bad energy, if you don't agree with the way they run things then find help else where. This place is a blessing. Not a silver platter or anything fancy, but for those needing actual help. This will be the most propelled step of your future.

They don’t help the truly poor. Only privileged ppl who want more food and etc. the women here are rude and give very little and want so much respect and have some kind of god complex. They only work here so they feel like good people. In reality they only help the needy the way they want to. That’s not how you help ppl. Nearly the same amount of 1 star reviews as 5 stars. Horrible.

They keep having the negative reviews deleted so I'll write it again. Don't come to this place for help when you even call for information you're met on the other end with a rude older woman who answers the phone and lies about it being no room available. They also give out old outdated and expired food.

Good place for used furniture and clothes. I had a bad experience inside the office long ago. I do appreciate Good Shepherd Mission for helping needy families, so I gave them a 5 star.

Completely rude people working here. They do a great job feeding hungry people but they will be rude doing it. Their administration staff is as about as bad as I have ever seen. Their pantry will only give you stale donuts for two weeks. Find another town to get some help.
