Harris House

Harris House was founded in 1961 and has spent more than 50 years providing treatment for both men and women struggling with drug and alcohol addictions. Harris House acknowledges that every person is unique and may be at different phases of the healing process, thus they offer a full continuum of care including a 28-day inpatient program, PHP, IOP, medical detoxification, and transitional housing. The comprehensive approach Harris House has developed emphasizes the need of a personalized treatment plan. In addition to receiving treatment for alcohol and drug addiction, clients also receive training in employment skills, stress and anger management, depression, and anxiety. The IOP program is 12-Step focused, and it costs significantly less than the industry norm. Both individual and group treatment will be provided to clients. Group meetings can either be instructional or process-focused. The physiological harm that addiction causes to the body is discussed in educational groups, along with illness theory, the AA stages, trigger identification, and relapse prevention. Weekly counseling sessions involve both the family and the client. Although clients are busy with program activities everyday, Sundays are more relaxed and clients are able to enjoy free time.
The Harris House is located in St. Louis, Missouri in a safe and secure urban area. Clients have semi-private rooms, an on-site fitness center, and chef-prepared meals. Airport pickup is provided to clients from outside St. Louis. Graduates of the program are encouraged to continue in their IOP program as needed and can receive weekly aftercare groups for a year after treatment.

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 Harris House provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Harris House offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 6 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. Harris House works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
