Meta House is an internationally-recognized treatment program for women struggling with drug and alcohol addiction and their children. Meta House’s services help women stop using alcohol and drugs, and also assist them in tackling a host of other challenges such as past trauma, parenting, poverty, unemployment, poor physical/mental health, etc. Their innovative and holistic treatment programs have been proven successful.
Meta House has three grants from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to provide substance abuse treatment to women and their children. Below is a brief outline of three ongoing programs funded by the grants.
Preserving and Reuniting Families in Recovery (PRFR) provides residential treatment to women with substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders who are pregnant or postpartum and to their children, while also serving children’s fathers, partners, and other family members.
Recovery and Health (R&H) provides outpatient treatment to women with substance use disorders who are at high risk of HIV infection/transmission and to their children.
Housed in Recovery (HIR) provides outpatient treatment and facilitates housing for homeless women and their children in early recovery from substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders.
The Planning Council has developed a long-term partnership with Meta House to help them evaluate the work that they do. We are currently collaborating with them to evaluate the abovementioned programs through pre-post analyses of extensive interview data collected from women at program intake, at discharge, and at six- and 12-month follow-ups.
