About Fellowship House Inc
Set about 10 minutes from downtown Birmingham and 15 minutes from the airport, this center delivers targeted support for people dealing with substance use disorders and related mental health challenges. Located in a friendly, walkable area close to I-65 and US-31, it’s well connected to public transportation and offers a warm, encouraging atmosphere. That makes getting care simpler for both individuals and their families.
The center’s services bring together medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and individualized counseling, along with peer support and structured case management. The programs are designed to help clients move beyond opioid addiction, address co-occurring psychiatric needs, and prepare for a successful return to independent living. By combining treatment for substance use with support for emotional well-being, clients are encouraged to develop stability, strengthen confidence, and sustain recovery over time.
In addition to routine programming, Fellowship House offers specialized options based on each person’s circumstances. Support is available for pregnant individuals, people living with HIV, and those who require transitional housing. Through the Comprehensive Accountability, Recovery, and Treatment (CART) program, the center supports inmates recovering from opioid addiction and helps ensure continuity of care after release. Family participation, peer mentoring, and recovery-focused activities help build a strong support system, promoting independence and long-term stability beyond the initial treatment period.
