ABOUT
Mothers shouldn’t have to choose between recovery and their children.
We are one of the only residential treatment programs in Santa Clara County for women where they can stay with their babies and young children while getting help for drug and alcohol use. We believe families heal best when they heal together, and we know every mother has innate strength within her. Our role is to help each client recognize that strength, grow it, and use it to build the life she wants for herself and her family.
Our program is built on respect, dignity, and hope. We provide counseling services, education, support, child development services, and a place to live while mothers rebuild their lives and begin to heal.
