Details: New House, Inc. (NHI) is a non-profit 501(c) 3 organization that has been providing recovery and counseling services to the residents of San Bernardino County since 1978. NHI has a unique capacity to provide services for men/women with children. The children accompany the parents while in treatment. Many of the children have special needs as a result of exposure to the dysfunctional lifestyle of their substance-abusing parents. The majority have been abused and/or neglected, and the remainder are “at risk†of the same. The turmoil and chaos these children have witnessed in their short lives will continue to have a negative impact on their lives if they do not get the help that they need. These children are in need of developmental assessments, counseling, and individualized therapy. In response NHI is in the process of expanding services to include a therapeutic childcare center for these children. Structured activities will be scheduled for the children. In addition, the therapeutic childcare center will employ a team of highly skilled professionals to help the children overcome the sometimes debilitating effects their parent’s substance abuse has had on their lives. The focus of the program overall is to substantially improve the family structure and break the intergenera-tional cycle of addiction and dysfunction.
