Fellowship House








About Fellowship House
Fellowship House’s Birmingham locale offers recovery services for adults battling addiction and co-occurring disorders. With several treatment options to meet you where you are in recovery, you can participate in residential rehab, outpatient care, transitional living, and specialized programs. You’ll find ‘em located out in Birmingham, Alabama.
One amazing feature I noticed was their payment structure. Many of their clients begin their program without income or insurance, so they’ll never turn you away based on finances. They offer an affordable admission fee, sliding scale discounts, and food stamps so you can get started in recovery.
Whether you need continuous support or are stepping down from residential treatment, they strive to help you reach your recovery goals. Each program provides a variety of expert backed treatment approaches, including individual and group counseling, medication assisted treatment, peer support, medication management, and addiction education.
Their additional services are also wonderful. You’ll benefit from case management, care coordination, housing planning, and vocational counseling. They aim to help you reach recovery and improve essential life aspects for successful independent living.
What stands out most is their She Recovers program. This specialized track for pregnant and parenting mothers provides targeted care and recovery assistance. Along with treatment, you can access parenting support, prenatal care, medication, and connections to vital basic needs resources.
Another notable element I found interesting was their Pretreatment Program. This track offers quick access to supportive services for substance abuse treatment and other crucial needs. Their peer support and case management specialists work with you to determine your needs and assist you in the best way possible. You’ll have an opportunity to explore your options, identify your treatment goals, and receive support and guidance to start your journey.
