Residential treatment for mothers and children
The Families in Recovery Program (FIRP) offers inpatient substance use treatment specifically for pregnant women and parenting mothers. Clients can access residential care without being separated from their children. Mothers can live on-site with up to two children aged from birth to 10 years old. Care supports gender and trauma sensitive needs while focusing on substance use recovery.
Preparing for life after residential treatment
Treatment involves building practical life skills to help clients get ready for life after residential care. The facility also connects clients with supportive resources to help them create a safe and nurturing home environment for themselves and their children as they transition back into the community.
Peer and family support
Clients in the FIRP program can connect with other women through peer support. This helps them navigate substance use recovery and parenting together. Family needs are also incorporated into treatment to help clients work on recovery while focusing on their relationships and preparing for life at home.
Living environment
The home-like residential setting is intended to support both mothers and their children. Clients have access to private and shared bedroom options, private bathrooms, air conditioning, desks, storage space, and laundry facilities. Common areas include a play area with children's books, providing families with space to spend time together during treatment.
