Catalyst Life Services Veronica's House

Located off Scholl Road, the center is a women-only residential facility near the Richland County Office that serves adult women living with serious mental illness and substance use disorders. The program provides 24/7 care, from crisis stabilization to structured residential treatment. Staff create individualized plans to help each woman manage addiction, improve mental health, and build long-term stability. The team delivers evidence-based addiction and mental health care, including drug and alcohol groups, individual counseling, family therapy, and intensive case management. Staff refer clients for psychiatric evaluation, medication management, or medication-assisted treatment (MAT) as needed. They also encourage recovery through peer support and optional involvement in AA/NA, church, or other community-based groups. Clients live in supervised housing with staff available around the clock. They follow daily routines that include peer interaction, cooking, therapeutic activities, and self-care. Staff monitor medications and guide clients as they rebuild independent living skills. For women who are pregnant, staff help coordinate proper prenatal and postnatal care. Before discharge, they arrange outpatient care, job training, and housing referrals to support each woman’s continued recovery.
