Great Lakes Recovery Women's New Hope House has provided gender-specific residential treatment for women struggling with addiction since 1988. This facility stands out by allowing mothers to bring children up to age 11 during their recovery journey. Upon arrival, each woman undergoes a screening assessment before collaborating with therapists to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses the underlying challenges connected to their substance use. The women and families program offers comprehensive support for mothers in recovery. While clients participate in daily treatment activities, the facility provides on-site childcare for preschoolers and assistance with school placement for older children. Children ages 5-11 receive weekly therapy sessions, while mothers attend parenting classes. Each family receives a thorough needs assessment with appropriate referrals to ensure holistic care. The facility creates a nurturing, home-like environment where mothers and children share spacious, comfortably furnished suites. The bright, decorative common areas foster a sense of community as clients share meals, daily responsibilities, and recreational activities. The program operates with low security but maintains 24/7 staff supervision, and has established strong partnerships with local school districts. Treatment at New Hope House includes a structured schedule of group sessions covering diverse recovery approaches, allowing each woman to discover her unique path to wellness. Clients meet regularly with an assigned counselor to identify personal strengths, establish goals, and develop support systems. The communal living arrangement naturally enhances social skills and relationship building through shared daily activities. The therapeutic program combines individual counseling with specialized group sessions led by certified staff members. These groups focus on practical recovery skills through various modalities including mindful cognitive behavioral therapy, living in balance, seeking safety, women's health, parenting, exercise, change planning, nutrition, and spirituality. As clients prepare to complete the program, Great Lakes Recovery provides thorough transitional and aftercare planning, connecting women with community resources to support their continued recovery.
