Details: The Women's View program is a strength-based model, which provides a stable, nurturing structure for women to learn how to balance life issues with the added stressors of maintaining sobriety. The program provides twenty-four seven awake support staff, individual case-management, therapy and psychiatric referrals, in house psycho-educational groups, peer led Woman For Sobriety Group, legal counseling and referral, and nurturing support 24 hours a day. The program encourages self-sufficiency and accountability, helping with health and education issues as well as the simple teaching of cooking and food prep. After an appropriate amount of time, our clients are expected to begin work/volunteering or education pursuits; this will allow them to use the structure and safety of the program to begin balancing everyday life issues along with the responsibility of maintaining a healthy sober life style. The Program works on a four tier level system that can change on a weekly basis according to individual client accountability. This allows a resident to identify behaviors and /or thinking patterns that may be red flags leading to problems or relapse before they happen. This system allows a client to learn from the early signs of problems, instead of falling into a harmful pattern, which can lead back to old behaviors and consequences. The Women’s View Program is vigilant in our commitment to treatment without barriers. Although Women’s View is not a family Program, we support all aspects of our client’s life, most importantly, relationships and family. The Women’s View Program opens its doors to all mother/child visits/communications and collaborations with DCF, attorneys and all community based services needs in this process. We share the goal of family reunification and will assist in any way we can. The mission of the Women's View Recovery House Program is to assist women in recovery to fulfill their highest potential in society and in their personal lives going forward.
