Reality House
Reality House
is a
residential half-way house for chemically dependent
mothers and their dependent children. The
well-structured and supervised setting at Reality
House fosters emotional growth, encourages sobriety,
requires self-examination and teaches new problem
solving techniques which lead to positive life style
changes.
Our Mission
To
provide quality comprehensive treatment to women in
recovery from chemical dependency, as well as offer
a safe, caring and supportive environment for these
women and their children, as well. Services will
focus on the women developing a healthy, drug free
lifestyle, dealing with issues unique to their
gender, becoming more nurturing parents, obtaining
job training and employment -- with the ultimate
goal of strengthening their families.
In
working with the children of chemically dependent
mothers, the goal will be to help the children
understand their mother's disease, increase
resilience and reduce risk factors for substance
abuse, depression, violence and aggression,
delinquency and school failure.
Services
Services provided by Reality House are offered to
all women throughout the state of Louisiana,
regardless of race, religion or national origin.
Preference, however, is given to those individuals
residing in Region 2, the Capital area Human
Services District.
At
Reality House, it is believed that through changes
in behavior and environment, individuals can learn
to change and grow toward a life that is drug free.
Sheer willpower alone may not eradicate drug use.
