Nexus' unique program for women with children and pregnant women removes a traditional barrier for women to get the help they need.
The PPWC program focuses on chemical dependency and parenting by allowing women ages 18 and older to bring as many as three children with them to residential treatment. Nexus establishes structured family routines and teaches parenting skills. The on-campus childcare staff cares for infants, toddlers and preschoolers on weekdays, while older children attend a nearby elementary school.
Family members are encouraged to participate in the family education program to help them understand the dynamics of chemical dependency and the effects of addiction on all members of the family unit. |
