Treatment Philosophy and Services
Manna House is committed to holistic recovery, offering inpatient substance use treatment for adults and young adults. Their therapeutic approach includes a variety of evidence-based practices integrated with their faith-based model. Participants engage in comprehensive counseling designed to address the underlying causes of addiction and build practical tools for sustained recovery. The services provided are extensive and tailored to individual needs:
- Substance Use Treatment (Alcohol and Other Drugs)
- Inpatient and Long-Term Residential Setting
- Counseling Services: Individual, Group, Family, and Couples Counseling
- Therapeutic Modalities: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Matrix Model, Brief Intervention, and Anger Management

Admission and Aftercare
Due to the limited capacity and structured nature of the program, prospective participants are required to undergo a screening process. This ensures that the program is the right fit for those who are serious about making life changes. Beyond the residential stay, Manna House focuses heavily on preparing individuals for life after the program. Transitional services are crucial components of the treatment, offering:
- Aftercare/Continuing Care Planning
- Discharge Planning
- Outcome Follow-up after Discharge
Additionally, Mission Waco offers an outpatient alternative, the Twelve/Two Outpatient Program, for men and women who require treatment but not the intense, round-the-clock supervision of the residential Manna House.
