Based on Recovery Acres’ core program of Life Skills, Relapse Prevention and Addiction Awareness developed over the last 15 years we would provide accommodation, meals and 24/7 support to women with drug and alcohol addiction issue who still maintain custody of their children. That facility would not only provide support and counselling for the women, but also provide in-house child care for their kids. The women would have time during the day to attend programing and meet with counselors and do homework etc. while staff looked after the children. The facility and programing would be designed to accommodate different living arrangements and numbers and ages of children and staff would specialize in women’s needs and provide access to community supports for them and their families.
