Sad News


06/19/2010:  Social Detoxification Program to CLOSE on JUNE 30, 2010.
 
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the closure of our Social Detoxification Program on June 30, 2010.  For almost 10 years, this program has set individuals on the road to recovery by stabilizing their vital signs, assisting them to begin the Twelve Steps, and connecting them directly to primary substance abuse treatment programs.

As a cost-effective alternative to medical detoxification and emergency room visits, our Social Detoxification Program has diverted hundreds and hundreds of individuals from these more expensive facilities.  Losing Responsibility House's Social Detoxification Program will represent a great loss to the New Orleans community, as there are no other similar facilities in all of the eight-Parish Greater New Orleans Area.

If we had any choice in the matter, we would gladly move mountains to keep the program open.  In fact, we've given it our best to secure the needed funding over the past two years.  However, without sufficient grant funding for this vital public service, we cannot continue to operate the program at a loss to the organization, imperiling our other essential programs.

Although it pains us greatly, our Social Detoxification Program bids farewell to the community and the many many individuals that the program has guided toward sobriety and long-term recovery.  Thank you.
