Focus

This center primarily treats substance use disorders, helping you stabilize, create relapse-prevention plans, and connect to compassionate support.

Sojourner House provides spiritual-based, residential treatment for mothers, including pregnant women, struggling with substance use disorder. Located in Pennsylvania, the program offers a safe and supportive environment where women receive intensive, evidence-based, gender-responsive treatment while living with their children. Mothers can stay for up to six months in private apartments, experiencing independent, substance-free living with 24/7 support. Treatment includes individual, group, and family counseling, helping women heal and prepare for a stable future. Recognizing that recovery is a family journey, Sojourner House helps mothers strengthen relationships with their children. Services include developmental screenings, educational support, and after-school activities to ensure children’s well-being. Pregnant women receive specialized care to support their health and their baby’s health. Families also gain access to community resources that promote long-term stability and mental wellness. Sojourner House stands out for its holistic, family-centered approach. Licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Health, the program integrates mindfulness practices like T’ai Chi to promote stress management and emotional healing. Through evidence-based, gender-responsive treatment, Sojourner House effectively addresses trauma, relationships, and societal challenges.
