Creating Pathways to Recovery: Understanding Treatment and Support Options
When it comes to substance use disorders, understanding your treatment options can feel overwhelming. At Lafayette House, we believe that knowledge is power, and we want to help you understand the various pathways to recovery that are available to you and your loved ones – all at no cost.
Understanding Treatment Needs
Research shows that while many people need treatment for substance use disorders, only about 23% receive the care they need. This gap exists for many reasons – some people don't know where to turn, others worry about costs, and many aren't sure if they're ready for change. At Lafayette House, we understand these concerns and have created programs that address these barriers head-on.
Our Approach to Treatment
At Lafayette House, we recognize that every person's journey is unique. Our treatment programs are designed to meet you where you are, providing comprehensive support that addresses both substance use and mental health needs. We've created an environment where you can feel safe, respected, and understood.
Specialized Programs for Women and Children
One unique aspect of our program is our ability to keep families together during treatment. We understand that many women delay seeking help because they worry about being separated from their children. At Lafayette House, you don't have to choose – our programs allow you to focus on your recovery while maintaining your crucial role as a parent.

Our childcare center provides a nurturing environment where children can thrive while their parents participate in treatment. This integrated approach helps strengthen family bonds and supports long-term recovery success.
The Impact of Proper Support
When people receive appropriate support, the results can be transformative. We've seen participants in our programs:
Rebuild relationships with family members
Secure stable housing
Find meaningful employment
Develop stronger parenting skills
Create lasting support networks
These successes aren't just personal victories – they strengthen our entire community. We've seen how recovery can create ripple effects that positively impact families for generations.
Breaking Down Financial Barriers
We believe that financial concerns should never prevent anyone from seeking help. That's why all of our services are completely free. This includes:
Initial assessments and evaluations
Individual counseling sessions
Group therapy
Case management
Transportation assistance
Housing support
Aftercare planning
Walking Your Path Together
The journey of recovery unfolds like chapters in a book, with each person writing their own unique story. We understand that healing encompasses every aspect of life – from managing daily challenges to rebuilding relationships and rediscovering your sense of purpose. Our experienced counselors work alongside you to identify and strengthen all the areas that matter in your recovery journey, whether that means processing trauma, learning new ways to cope with stress, developing job skills, or connecting with others who understand your experiences. Through our comprehensive support services, all offered at no cost, we create a foundation that supports not just recovery, but genuine transformation and growth.

At Lafayette House, you'll find more than just treatment services – you'll find a community of people who understand your journey and are committed to supporting your success. Our alumni often tell us that the connections they made here became a crucial part of their recovery journey.
Remember, change is possible, and support is available – at no cost to you. If you're struggling with substance use, Lafayette House is here to help you build a healthier, more fulfilling life.
