Located off Scholl Road, the center is a men-only residential facility near the Richland County Office that serves adults living with serious mental illness and substance use disorders. The program provides 24/7 care, from crisis stabilization to structured
residential treatment. Staff create individualized plans to help each client manage addiction, improve mental health, and build long-term stability.
The team delivers evidence-based addiction and mental health care, including drug and alcohol groups, individual counseling,
family therapy, and intensive case management. Staff may refer clients for psychiatric evaluation, medication management, or medication-assisted treatment (
MAT) as needed. They also encourage recovery through peer support and optional involvement in AA/NA, church, or other community-based groups.
Clients live in supervised housing with staff available around the clock. They follow daily routines that include peer interaction, cooking, therapeutic activities, and self-care. Staff monitor medications and guide clients as they rebuild independent living skills. Before discharge, staff arrange
outpatient care, job training, and housing referrals to support each person’s continued recovery.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Catalyst Life Services New Beginnings I provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
