Prestera Center for MH Services Inc - Renaissance Women/Children Prg

Family-Centered Residential Treatment

Located in Huntington, West Virginia, Prestera’s Renaissance Women/Children Program offers 24-hour residential care for women, including those who are pregnant or parenting. The setting combines structure with compassion, allowing mothers to live onsite with their children while focusing on recovery. Short-term and longer-term residential options help residents establish stability through daily routines of therapy, peer meetings, and recovery education in a supportive, home-like environment.

Integrated and Evidence-Based Care

Treatment incorporates evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, trauma-focused care, and 12-step facilitation. The program supports clients using medications for addiction treatment (MAT) including buprenorphine, naltrexone, acamprosate, and disulfiram. Clinicians provide psychiatric assessment and care for co-occurring mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other challenges that often accompany substance use disorders.

Practical Support for Lasting Stability

Beyond clinical treatment, the program addresses the everyday barriers that can make recovery difficult. Residents have access to transportation assistance, housing services, vocational and educational support, and social skills development. Case management, peer mentoring, and self-help groups help clients plan for long-term stability, while telehealth options expand access to therapy. Health screenings, vaccinations, and overdose prevention education further strengthen recovery readiness.

Accessible, Nonprofit Care Network

As part of the nonprofit Prestera Health Services network, the program welcomes individuals regardless of financial status. Payment options include Medicaid, private insurance, state-funded plans, and self-pay, with a sliding fee scale available. Staff assist residents in accessing financial and community resources, ensuring care remains within reach. Through Prestera’s broader network, clients can continue outpatient or primary care after discharge, supporting continuity and sustained wellness.
