Recovery Home for women & children: fchs completed its 5th year with our recovery Home.

We expanded our capacity in this program and can now serve up to 8 families at any given time; this change being made at the end of fy21. The 24/7 program aims to assist a mother's recovery journey by addressing the underlying causes of the substance use, such as past trauma and mental or behavioral health challenges. Clients are assessed for sud and other challenges they may be facing as part of their individual treatment plan. Special attention is given to the healthcare needs of both mom and child, as well as parenting skills and child development.
