Responsibility House Overview

Responsibility House, located in Terrytown, Louisiana, is a behavioral health organization that began over 20 years ago offering mental health services and programs to clients seeking recovery. The facility was founded by Mike Martyn who was an addict in recovery and was passionate about creating a cost-effective treatment to individuals seeking addiction recovery. The story behind the name of the facility is quite humorous, as a state official told him that all the names he chose or suggested were taken and he replied “Okay, I’ll take Responsibility”, and that is how the name “Responsibility House” was born.
The treatment technique used at the facility is strictly evidence-based, utilizing modalities such as holistic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, 12-step, and goal-oriented. Clients seeking treatment for co-occurring disorders will also find such here.
The facility offers two phases of the program. The first phase consists of intensive clinical treatment and the treatment holds seven days a week and can last for up to six weeks. The treatment approach utilized during treatment includes family therapy, 12-step meeting, addiction education, relapse prevention, group therapy, individual therapy, and many more. The second phase of treatment is not as intensive as the first phase as it lasts for a maximum of four weeks. Clients are required to search for employment in the morning time and attend treatment during the afternoon time. After completion of the program, clients can leave the program and move to a halfway house after the four-week duration is over, or when they find gainful employment.
Residents in the first phase of treatment begin their day at 6 am and after completing their morning activities, go for breakfast. After morning rituals are over, clients are required to head to the treatment office where their treatment programs will take place. These programs may involve group therapy and addiction education classes for eight hours daily. Clients are also required to attend 12-step meetings in the evenings and join in recreational activities such as volleyball and football.

Accommodation And Food

The accommodation offered to clients gives off a homey feeling instead of a clinical feeling. The facility can admit a maximum of 12 residents at a time who are required to share modest-sized bedrooms. Each room comes fully equipped with twin beds, storage space, and dressers. The facility also offers other amenities such as nearby parks for relaxation and a common area, which offers a television.
All clients living at the facility are required to prepare their meals themselves. Even though treatments, meetings, and therapy sessions hold off-site, they may return to the facility to cook their breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
