How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Cross-Sector Partnership for Family Independence
    methodology: cross-sector collaboration
    By collaborating with justice, government, community, and private sectors, we enable sustainable recovery and family independence because coordinated systems reduce barriers to housing, employment, and healthcare access post-treatment.
  • Family-Intact Treatment Model
    methodology: family-intact treatment
    By providing residential substance abuse treatment that allows mothers to live with their children, we prevent family separation and support recovery, because keeping families together reduces trauma, increases treatment retention, and promotes long-term stability.
  • Integrated Family-Centered Recovery
    methodology: family-centered recovery
    By combining substance abuse treatment with parenting support and child welfare services, we improve recovery outcomes for mothers because addressing family roles and responsibilities strengthens maternal motivation and promotes holistic healing.
