Its comprehensive programs and services include a highly structured residential program, followed by aftercare.
Nexus also offers outpatient care for women who are unable to live at the facility.
While Nexus serves only those who are determined to overcome their dependency and rebuild their lives, women are accepted without regard to their ability to pay. Nexus was established and chartered in 1971 as a structured living and social detoxification program. In 1974, Nexus evolved into a more specific recovery program that included therapy and personal social adjustment training. From 1975 to 1990, Nexus was located on Fairmont Street in Dallas, Texas in a facility that originally housed 17 women. In 1985, accommodations expanded to 26 beds and the administrative office moved off-site.
