H.A.R.T. House is a family residential substance abuse program for women and their children. Children of all ages and families of all sizes are welcome. Research shows that women’s treatment works better when they can live with their families while in recovery from illegal drugs and alcohol. The program offers individual, family and group therapy, plus a variety of groups, including assertiveness training, relapse preventions, feelings group, parenting education and community meetings. Families have access to on-site childcare, healthcare and other community resources.

Note: In addition to other substance-users, we also take opiate-addicted and methadone maintained women.
