Focus

This center treats substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Your treatment plan addresses each condition at once with personalized, compassionate care for comprehensive healing.

This center supports adult men recovering from substance use in a structured, goal-oriented setting. As a nonprofit residential program, it offers a three to six month stay with clearly defined phases that help residents build coping strategies, prevent relapse, and prepare for long-term stability through skill-building. Spanish American Civic Association La Casa uses evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI) through individual, group, and family sessions. The program includes Orientation, Reentry, and Reunification phases that focus on building values, preparing for employment, and developing housing plans. Residents volunteer and use community support systems as part of their recovery. Men live in a 23-bed shared setting with structured daily routines that promote stability and personal growth. Staff support each resident through job planning, family engagement, and discharge preparation. The program emphasizes accountability, peer connection, and practical steps to help men move toward a more stable and independent future.
