It is a 32-bed home for 20 women and 12 children, with six family suites for mothers and children. The Center is wheel-chair accessible and conveniently located near public transportation. At the Latinas y Ni os Center we offer a full range of programs and services that address these issues. Twelve-step Treatment Meetings Meeting the Needs of Latinas Believing that the most effective treatment is achieved in one's native language, the staff of Latinas y Ni os Center is bilingual and bicultural. We believe that a comfortable home plays an important role in recovery.
Residents share family-style meals in a friendly, communal setting.
After an initial period when women focus on their own recovery, their children are reunited with them at the Center. Working with the treatment team, mothers identify the impact that addiction has on themselves and their children. Learning to Mother For many women, who have lacked healthy parenting role models, raising their own children is a heavy burden. For those struggling with addiction and recovery, it is an even greater weight. Through the Parenting Education Program, mothers learn nurturing, and respectful parenting styles.
