Harris House

About the Facility

Harris House is a private alcohol and drug addiction recovery center in Saint Louis, Missouri. They provide adult clients with personalized care that focuses on empowering clients to take greater responsibility for themselves and their care. This is a state of the art center with luxury amenities. Harris House provides a full continuum of care to meet the complex needs of a diverse clientele. They offer dual diagnosis care services for clients with addiction and mental illness symptoms.

Medically assisted detox is the safest way for clients to remove illicit substances from their bodies. During detox, they stay at the center, where they are monitored and cared for by the medical team as they work through withdrawal. Medication may be administered to help clients with symptoms. Once they are stable, they can continue to the next level of care.

The inpatient program is a high level of care where clients reside at the facility for the length of their treatment program. To ensure the environment remains safe and supportive, staff monitor clients 24 hours daily. Clients generally do not leave the campus during treatment with staff supervision.

Therapy and education are the core of treatment at Harris House. Clients work with a personal care team to develop an individualized treatment plan focused on therapy and education groups. Clients learn more about addiction, discover their triggers, recognize and control their emotions, communicate, and develop critical hope and life skills supporting ongoing recovery and independent living.

PHP is the next level of care following the inpatient program and is sometimes used as a transitional step following a residential program. It’s an intensive day program where clients visit the facility six hours a day, five days a week, to participate in therapy and education groups. PHP also offers family therapy and education services.

Much like PHP, IOP sees clients live at home and visit the facility on a regular schedule to receive treatment. IOP meets less frequently for three hour sessions but participates in the same types of therapy and education groups.

Clients with both substance use disorder (SUD) and a mental illness such as depression, bipolar, or schizophrenia are at a higher risk of relapse. Dual diagnosis care reduces this risk by treating the symptoms of both issues during treatment. An assessment may determine if a client has a co-occurring condition, even if they haven’t been previously diagnosed.

Clients who have completed treatment can receive continuing care through gender specific subsidized transitional housing. Clients continue participating in peer support, therapy, and education groups in these community living settings. Over time they take on more responsibility to prepare for their return to independent living, such as preparing their own meals and securing employment.

Levels of Care

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive outpatient programs provide an intermediate level of care, often supporting clients’ transition from inpatient rehab to outpatient treatment. Most IOP programs require a minimum of nine therapeutic hours weekly, but clients may receive up to 20 hours of care, with the intensity and frequency of care declining as clients grow stronger in their sobriety. Intensive outpatient treatment generally combines addiction counseling, recovery education, holistic therapies, and, for some, medication assisted treatment (MAT).

12-Step

12 step programs are designed to enable participants to understand and address the root causes of their addiction, accept responsibility for their life choices, and relinquish control over that which they cannot change. Participants are expected to regularly attend 12 step meetings and to be mentored in their recovery journey by a self-selected sponsor. Meetings are free, anonymous, and open to the public. A variety of formats are available, including programs for seniors, teens, family members, and nondenominational Christians.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Family Therapy

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.

Group Therapy

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.

Individual Therapy

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.
