<p><strong>ABOUT SANTA MARIA’S BONITA HOUSE</strong></p> <p>Since the mid 1950's, Santa Maria has offered services to adult women and their children in the Houston area. Today, it provides assistance for homelessness, physical health challenges, <strong>substance abuse</strong> and <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/dual-diagnosis-recovery/" target="_blank">co-occurring disorders</a>. Bonita House, one of three facilities operated by Santa Maria, provides <strong>residential and outpatient treatment for women</strong>, including <strong>detox services</strong> on-site.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Treatment at Santa Maria's Bonita House starts with an admissions assessment to determine the most appropriate course of care. If needed, clients may enter a medically supervised residential detox program, which is monitored 24/7. Following detox, clients are encouraged to transition into one of the organization’s two residential treatment programs. </p> <p>Women in <strong>intensive residential treatment</strong> can bring their children with them, who attend daycare or school while clients undergo treatment activities. Pregnant women are allowed to participate. Clients attend <strong>30 hours of programming per week</strong>, which is evidence-based and trauma-informed. The curriculum includes parenting education, life skills workshops, addiction education programming, relapse prevention, anger management classes, and women-specific groups. </p> <p><strong>Supportive residential treatment</strong> is a <strong>30-day trauma-informed offering</strong>. Clients attend 10 hours of programming per week and have the opportunity to seek employment and attend outside support groups while living in a safe, structured environment. Services include individual and group counseling, case management, life skills education, family education, relapse prevention skills, parenting classes and coaching, and career development assistance.</p> <p><strong>Outpatient treatment</strong> can serve as a standalone service or step-down option from residential treatment and has a strong emphasis on relapse prevention. Treatment is available in the day or evening and includes post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) counseling, peer recovery support, <strong>individual and group therapy, family education, 12-step meetings</strong>, and other process groups. To make it easier for clients to attend outpatient therapy, the facility provides free bus tokens for clients, as well as snacks and childcare for children.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Santa Maria's Bonita House treatment team includes social workers, licensed chemical dependency counselors, certified medical assistants, counselors, and other behavioral health professionals.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>Santa Maria's Bonita House is a large brick complex with attractive shrubbery and on-site parking. No information is provided on the facility's website or elsewhere about accommodations and amenities, except that women can live with their children and daycare is provided for children.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>At time of writing, Rehabs.com polled one alum about their experience at Santa Maria’s Bonita House. <strong>The review was largely positive</strong>. This former client awarded perfect five stars for treatment effectiveness and accommodations and amenities. They rated a number of other metrics four out of five stars, including meals and nutrition, family participation, affordability, the staff's level of training and experience, treatment of co-occurring disorders, exercise and leisure activities, cleanliness, and the likelihood to recommend the facility to others. This alum wanted Rehabs.com to know that Bonita House is a “good facility” with "n,a." weaknesses. </p> <p>On its official Facebook page, which the facility can manage, Santa Maria as a whole earned <strong>4.6 out of five stars from 41 reviews</strong> to date.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> Of note, more than 85 percent of the reviews were the top five stars for all facilities, not Bonita House specifically. Many alumni <strong>praised the staff and effectiveness of treatment, which helped turn their life around</strong>, such as five-star reviewer Bethany, who wrote: “Santa Maria changed my life! I would recommend it any woman suffering from addiction” and added: “I know if Santa Maria help me turn my life around a they can help anyone!!” In another representative review, alum Chantella wrote: "This is an awesome place for recovery. The counselors really dedicate themselves in helping you to find the real you and instill in you coping skills to live a productive life l. I'm truly thankful and grateful to Santa Maria for showing me how to live." </p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>Santa Maria provides treatment to low income and uninsured women. It is unclear what other payment options are accepted. <br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/SantaMariaHostel/reviews/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pg/SantaMariaHostel/reviews/</a></small></p>
