Company Profile
Casa Esperanza, Inc.
Company Overview
Casa Esperanza, Inc. is a bilingual and bicultural behavioral health center that specializes in serving the Latino community in Massachusetts. Our mission is to empower individuals and families to recover from addiction, trauma, mental illness and other chronic medical conditions; overcome homelessness; and achieve health and wellness through comprehensive, integrated care.
Casa Esperanza’s vision of the future is that all affected by addiction and mental illness are empowered to lead healthy and purposeful lives.
Company History
The agency was founded as a grass roots response to the crisis of alcohol and drug abuse in the Latino community and has served more than 3,500 men, women and families. In 1987, Casa Esperanza opened Massachusetts’ first bilingual/bicultural residential treatment program for 25 men, based on AA’s 12-step philosophy of treatment and culturally adapted to serve the needs of the Latino community.
Today, Casa Esperanza is a recognized leader in developing holistic approaches to behavioral health treatment, with a reputation for having caring, highly skilled staff. We now operate a residential treatment facility for 25 men; a residential treatment facility for 20 women and their children; 37 units of Supportive Housing for individuals and families; and an Outpatient Services program which provides integrated outpatient addictions, mental health, primary care, and wellness services, for individuals and families in recovery, as well as Greater Boston’s only Spanish language Structured Outpatient Addictions Program (SOAP).
Understanding that recovery is a lifelong process, Casa Esperanza has continued to evolve to meet the unique, long-term needs of people in recovery, providing integrated, bilingual/bicultural tailored services to each individual and each family.
By focusing on whole people, not a single problem, Casa Esperanza seeks to help families regain the lives they have lost and create a strong, supportive community for those who hope to follow in their footsteps.
