Epiphany Center

Epiphany Center is a 3.1, 3.3, 3.5 ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) designated facility offering holistic residential services to women struggling with addiction. We ascribe to the medical model of addiction as well as follow a harm reduction philosophy. We are Trauma Informed in our comprehensive care for our highly traumatized population. Our staff receive ongoing training and thus have keen understanding and insight into the neurological, biological, psychological, and social effects of trauma and the pervasiveness of these experiences in persons who seek and receive addiction recovery services. A unique feature that we provide is the capacity for our clients to enter our Program with their children (or in the midst of child reunification) ages 0-3. While the women are actively engaged in their recovery program, the children's unique needs are simultaneously being served through our Children Services Program. Further, the mother-child dyad is also served through our Family Treatment department offering a range of individual and family therapy including a focus on infant mental health. We have developed our very unique Wellness platform whereby we address every aspect of a client's individual wellness desires, concurrent with her recovery and mental health goals. Our holistic approach is unique, and we believe, leads to a more comprehensive and strength based recovery.Epiphany Center provides a variety of services to families from preventative services, including In Home Services which uses the SafeCare model of assessing and providing services to families in their own homes. With funding from the Office of Child Abuse Prevention, Epiphany Center's Road to Resilience program reaches out to women with addictions who are living on the streets, in shelters or in their own home who are pregnant and/or have infants 0-12 months of age to find safety and stability through our services and referrals. The Road To Resilience team recognizes that each mother and child has unique needs. We support high-risk pregnant women with current and/or a history of substance abuse, as well as families of substance-exposed infants, to get the help they need to achieve their goals. During the year, the Epiphany Center served 82 women and 23 children in our intensive recovery residential programs and 23 women and 13 children in our step down program.

Epiphany's Step Down Program is a transitional living residence providing housing and supportive post-treatment aftercare services and bridges the gap between structured residential substance abuse treatment and full independence. Epiphany Step-Down provides women with transitional housing and support services, offers linkages to other effective clinical-community services and programs, and helps them build additional skills needed to navigate society as productive citizens. Our goal is to strengthen each woman's recovery skills and to support her in securing permanent housing and employment. At Epiphany Center Step-Down, we practice client-centered care and will walk with every woman through all aspects of her recovery journey.

In-Home Services Program serves families with children 0-5 years of age to prevent child removal from the custody of their parents, potential abuse and neglect. Services include home-based parenting interventions, early intervention, relationship-based care and bilingual Spanish service.

The Parent-Child Center provides early intervention and relationship-based care to expectant moms and to infants and toddlers. Additionally, parents receive parenting support in group and individual sessions. Parenting programs lead to healthier behaviors. Our Parent-Child Center provides Therapeutic childcare, Developmental assessments, Early intervention and relationship-based care, Physical and occupational therapy consultations, Infant massage instruction, Parent Advisory Council, Parent-child interaction groups, and Smoking cessation and second-hand smoke education. During the year the center served 49 families.
