MCCA Inc - McDonough House/ ASAM 3 7 R Intensive

Medically Monitored Inpatient Care

McDonough House offers 24-hour residential care for adults who need medical support and stabilization during withdrawal or early recovery. The structured, supervised setting helps clients manage both substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders, with continuous medical and clinical oversight.

Integrated Therapies and MAT Access

Treatment includes individual and group counseling using evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and relapse prevention. When needed, clinicians coordinate medications for addiction treatment (MAT), including buprenorphine and naltrexone, and may use medications like lofexidine or clonidine to ease withdrawal symptoms. Recreational therapy and peer-led meetings encourage clients to build new interests and social support networks.

Recovery Supports That Remove Barriers

The program pairs medical care with practical support that helps clients sustain recovery after treatment. Services include recovery coaching, peer mentoring, assistance with housing and social services, transportation support, smoking cessation, and health education. Clients also receive naloxone and overdose prevention education. Acupuncture and other adjunct services are available to support physical and emotional well-being.

Inclusive and Trauma-Informed Approach

McDonough House welcomes adults of all backgrounds, including veterans, seniors, women (including those who are pregnant or postpartum), and individuals living with chronic pain, trauma, or co-occurring disorders. Counselors use trauma-informed practices and integrated mental health care to help each client feel safe, supported, and empowered to begin rebuilding their life.

Planning for Long-Term Stability

Discharge planning begins early in treatment to ensure a smooth transition to the next level of care. Staff coordinate referrals to outpatient programs, recovery housing, self-help groups, and other community resources. Ongoing follow-up and aftercare support help clients stay connected as they move toward sustained recovery and independence.
