Special thanks to all those who provided their insight, guide us and walk through to understand this application process. The Shalom Health Care Center has a vision to establish comprehensive medical clinics that served underserved areas of Jefferson, Hardin, Orange, Newton, Jasper and liberty Counties.

Background Addiction is a complex disease: It deteriorates human brain performance, thereby impairing the ability to make sound judgments and decisions, which then leads to character deterioration and can eventually cause total self-destruction. Addiction not only impacts the individual; it also disrupts their surroundings, families and community at large. As troubling as that sounds, this disease is treatable, and recovery is possible if effective interventions are put in place to address sustainable recovery. SHALOM HEALTHCARE CENTER-950 WASH INGTON BLVD. BEAUMONT, TEXAS 77705 SHALOM HEALTH CARE CENTERS Substance and Alcohol addiction kills 115 adults daily; which is more than 42,000 Americans each year. This number is six times more than what American army had lost soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan war. Consequently, the President of the United States has declared addiction epidemic and will use all state and national resources to control, prevent and treat substance use addiction. Strategies for dealing with drug addiction risks should be designed to offer a comprehensive program that starts with preventive education and goes all the way to cover detox, recovery, post recovery education and sober living for those who are addicted. Shalom Health Care will provide preventive education and public awareness about substance use and its social and economic implications on individuals and families. A comprehensive post rehab program will be developed to ensure that those treated returning home are fully supported on a sustained basis by the local community before entering a productive life without any communal stigma or isolation.
