Hitchcock Center for Women Inc

Residential Treatment Where Mothers and Children Stay Together

Hitchcock Center for Women operates from a historic campus in Cleveland’s Hough-Glenville neighborhood, offering a homelike environment where mothers can live with their children while in treatment. This intentional arrangement helps families stay connected during recovery. Clients have access to private rooms, family-style meals, a gymnasium, and dedicated recreation spaces for children, fostering stability and comfort alongside clinical care.

Detox, Outpatient, and Recovery Housing

The center provides a full range of services, including medically supervised detox, residential treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and standard outpatient programs. Flexible schedules make it possible for women to continue school, work, or family responsibilities while receiving care. Recovery housing on campus offers furnished family suites, 24-hour support, and counseling, helping clients gradually transition to independent living with sobriety support in place.

Trauma-Informed Therapies and Creative Outlets for Healing

Clinical programming combines cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, and 12-step facilitation. Trauma counseling addresses the needs of women who have experienced abuse or violence, while creative therapies like art, music, and movement, add meaningful outlets for healing. The program also accommodates individuals using medications for addiction treatment (MAT) prescribed by outside providers, ensuring coordination and continuity of care.

Practical Supports and Health Services for Long-Term Recovery

Beyond treatment, the nonprofit emphasizes services that remove real-world barriers to recovery. Clients have access to childcare, transportation assistance, employment counseling, and life-skills training. Health education includes HIV and hepatitis support, as well as hepatitis A and B vaccinations. Recovery coaching, peer mentoring, naloxone education, and structured aftercare reinforce long-term success.
