Victory Programs - Shepherd House

Shepherd House is a residential program that helps pregnant mothers and mothers with infants recover from substance use disorders. Many residents also face mental health concerns, and chronic conditions like homelessness as well. The program lasts 90 days, with the option to stay up to eight months. It gives families the chance to heal together and build healthy, stable lives.
The program uses individual and group counseling, case management, and wellness activities to support recovery. Clients take part in evidence-based care and holistic therapies like meditation, art therapy, and recreational activities. The center also connects families with pediatric and prenatal or postpartum care, creating a strong support network for lasting recovery and healthy parenting.
Residents live in a shared, welcoming environment with group meals that create a sense of community. Clients enjoy spaces for therapy, relaxation, and creative expression, both indoors and outdoors. Staff help families access medical care, social services, and other resources they need for daily living and long-term independence.

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Victory Programs - Shepherd House offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 6 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Group Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment.
