Details: The SHIELDS for Families' Exodus Program is a unique model, in which comprehensive family-centered treatment, follow-up and related social services are provided within an 86-unit apartment complex. It is currently the only program in the United States that allows for the entire family unit to live in the treatment environment in individual family apartments while attending treatment. Services offered include: counseling, child development services, youth programs, individual therapy, educational groups, case management, and educational and vocational services. After completion of treatment, families are allowed to remain on-site for an additional year in order to transition back to the community with stabilized income and housing. The mission of the Exodus Family Centered Treatment program is to provide a new beginning for substance abusing women and their families in South Central Los Angeles. Treatment, child development, youth services, case management and vocational services are offered on-site at the facility to a maximum of 45 families at any given time.
