About My Father’s House Inc.
My Father’s House is an outpatient addiction treatment center for adults. Their services are based in Gloucester City, New Jersey. You can find them down the street from Gloucester City Historical Society.
They recommend their programs for people with low risk of strong withdrawal symptoms that could put your health at risk. If you’re experiencing heavy withdrawals, they’ll help you find a detox center.
They offer services for adults, young adults, and adolescents. Their medication-assisted treatment services are available to help you avoid relapse, and they use Vivitrol and Suboxone medications.
An Empathetic Admissions Process
Something special about their program is that once you’ve completed your initial intake assessment, the care team will reach out to people on your behalf to keep them informed on your situation. They can also chat to insurance providers, the justice system, and social services providers you’re involved with.
A Practical and Nurturing Treatment Approach
Weekly co-ed group therapy sessions focus on identifying your strengths and empowering you to lean into them as you work toward lasting sobriety. They also use these spaces to educate you about addiction and the many ways you can find healing. One thing I appreciate about their approach to recovery is that they come from a nurturing and encouraging angle at every step of the way.
Over the years, the care team found that their clients benefitted most from sharing within a group. So while they do have individual sessions, their program leans quite heavily on group discussions. Their approach might not be the best for you if you feel uncomfortable sharing your experiences in a group setting, but it’s worth exploring if you need a gentle and kind environment.
Spanish Services and Night Groups
All their services are available in English and Spanish, and this extends to their group therapy sessions. They have general outpatient and intensive outpatient groups that meet several times a week in the evenings.
These sessions are also appropriate for anyone experiencing a co-occurring mental health condition.
