Epiphany Center

What it reported doing in 2024

Epiphany Center is a 3.1, 3.3, 3.5 ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) designated facility offering holistic residential services to women struggling with addiction. We ascribe to the medical model of addiction as well as follow a harm reduction philosophy. We are Trauma Informed in our comprehensive care for our highly traumatized population. Our staff receive ongoing training and thus have keen understanding and insight into the neurological, biological, psychological, and social effects of trauma and the pervasiveness of these experiences in persons who seek and receive addiction recovery services. A unique feature that we provide is the capacity for our clients to enter our Program with their children (or in the midst of child reunification) ages 0-3. While the women are actively engaged in their recovery program, the children's unique needs are simultaneously being served through our Children Services Program. Further, the mother-child dyad is also served through our Family Treatment department offering a range of individual and family therapy including a focus on infant mental health. We have developed our very unique Wellness platform whereby we address every aspect of a client's individual wellness desires, concurrent with her recovery and mental health goals. Our holistic approach is unique, and we believe, leads to a more comprehensive and strength based recovery.Epiphany Center provides a variety of services to families from preventative services, including In Home Services which uses the SafeCare model of assessing and providing services to families in their own homes.With funding from SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services) and in coordination with San Francisco Family Treatment Court, we support men and women who have completed addiction recovery programs through our Outpatient Program, but are required to have additional recovery services as part of their court mandated process to maintain or regain custody of their children. In addition to recovery services, case managers help them with day to day challenges.During the year, the Epiphany Center served 82 women and 23 children in our intensive recovery residential programs and 23 women and 13 children in our step down program. Numbers served were: Residential women, 99 (17 children); Childcare 30; Family Treatment Program 31; In-Home Services 64 families (96 children); Pediatric Clinic 49 families (63 children and 252 clinic visits); Outpatient 46 clients. Epiphany Center was named on Newsweek's List of America's Best Addiction Treatment Programs 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024.
