Santa Maria Hostel
Santa Maria began in 1957 and today is one of Texas’ largest multi-site residential and outpatient addiction treatment centers for women, and one of the only programs in the state where a mother can bring her children with her while she access residential treatment. In addition, we provide a full continuum of services to meet each woman or family where they are at on their recovery journey, from community-based prevention and intervention programs through long term recovery support, housing, and aftercare. By offering vital services and life changing support, Santa Maria offers a pathway to success through recovery. From recovery from addiction to recovering from homelessness, incarceration, abuse and other trauma, Santa Maria has the experience and compassion to offer a hand up, change lives, and heal families.
