This is Nexus' original program. The Adult Women's Program offers individually designed residential care to females ages 18 and over. The length of the program allows expansion of the recovery focus beyond core sobriety issues to include vocational readiness and work. The treatment program is based on the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous.
Residents receive education, group and individual therapy and have family therapy as an option.
The women receive chemical dependency education and therapy groups similar to those provided in the Adult Women's Program. Additionally, there is a strong emphasis on parenting skills and the opportunity to improve family relations by working with the mothers and children together. Daycare is provided on-site for the preschool children while school age children attend a local elementary school. The children's program also provides age-appropriate prevention and intervention activities. The program provides factual information for children on the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse and their own risk for addiction.
