Alpha Home Monday Clinics
The Monday evening clinics (5:30 – 8 pm) are staffed by medical students and residents under the supervision of UTHSCSA faculty. The clinic serves the women of Alpha Home, a non-profit, long-term substance abuse recovery center. Established in 1966, Alpha Home is the only women-specific drug treatment program in Bexar County and draws clients from all over the state. Clients are referred to Alpha Home from various community agencies, including hospitals, detox facilities and homeless shelters. Many of the Alpha Home clients have not had adequate healthcare in years. The most common medical problems seen are: depression, upper respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, vaginal discharge, back pain, and headaches. The women are very appreciative of the care we provide.
