Description
Model recovery by using lived experience as a tool for service intervention. This residential treatment and recovery program for women with substance use disorders offers hope, love, and assistance for women in recovery by removing substance use as a barrier to employment and living in the community. Services support women in achieving abstinence, maintaining recovery, avoiding illegal activity and meeting parenting responsibilities. The program also provides supports to help women obtain employment and transition into safe and stable housing. Children 13 or younger are allowed to stay with their mothers while they are in the residential treatment program.
The Women's Treatment & Recovery Services (WTRS) Peer Specialist provides program participants with peer support services in individual and group settings, serves as liaison between program and referred individuals to ensure appropriate access to services, and promotes a culture of recovery within the organization.
