Passage Home for men and Journey Home for women and their children are halfway homes that offer both halfway house programming and an extended care track.

Journey Home for Women
Journey Home is a residential facility providing both extended care and halfway house programming for chemically dependent women and their children. It is a structured, recovery-focused setting for women ages 17 and older who are referred to us after the completion of primary chemical dependency treatment.

The two programming models at Journey Home are halfway house and extended care. The halfway house model focuses on attaining job skills or pursuing educational goals. In the extended care model, women must attend a minimum of 15 hours a week of structured program activities covering topics such as parenting skills, spirituality, anger, educational and vocational planning, financial health and relapse prevention. In addition, mothers’ and toddlers’ groups are available.

Our structured children’s program includes screening and assessment, developmental issues, play therapy and individual counseling, and is conducted by our trained child care staff under the supervision of the day care coordinator. The staff is assisted by community professionals.

Assessment and Intake
Women must have completed primary treatment and may be referred to us by treatment center counselors, social service agencies, physicians, psychologists or psychiatrists. Self-referral or referral by family members is also acceptable. Women who have not completed primary treatment but who have maintained 30 days of sobriety may also be appropriate for admission.

To be admitted to Journey Home, each potential resident must:

  • participate in an intake interview (Intake interviews are conducted at Journey Home for local clients and for those who easily can make the trip to St. Cloud. Telephone interviews may be arranged for those unable to come to Journey Home for a personal interview.)
  • secure funding prior to admission
  • send necessary medical records.

Cost
The daily rate includes room, board and program costs; medical costs are not included. Insurance and assistance programs may cover some of the costs. Journey Home administration can check into this for you if needed.

Licensure
Journey Home is licensed by the Minnesota Department of Human Services under Rule 35 as a 38-bed residential program for chemically dependent women and their children. Children ages 12 and under may join their mothers at Journey Home. We have a day care license and are licensed by the Minnesota Department of Health as a supervised living facility.
