About The Magdalen House
The Magdalen House located in Dallas, Texas, offers addiction recovery services completely free of charge. They are the only agency in the Dallas-Fort Worth area to do this. The house on Gaston Avenue is for women who have alcohol addiction reach recovery through their spiritually-based, 12 Step program. There’s a separate program for men.
The Magdalene house has three stages in their program. The first is a residential program for alcoholics who want to stop. This program lasts for two weeks. Women are admitted throughout the year and there is no cost for any part of this program. Everything from food and toiletries to programming is provided for these 14 days. The curriculum focuses heavily on the 12 Steps as well as spiritual solutions in classes, meetings, and workshops. Beds are first come, first serve. I like that they offer daily conversations with recovered alcoholics who volunteer to support those early in their recovery. The next stage is an outpatient program where you’ll continue to build upon your recovery skills for three months.
The final stage is their aftercare community program. They offer gender-specific groups that include social events, an annual retreat and a sober community.
