Details: Heartland Family Service is a nonprofit, non-sectarian counseling agency, founded in 1875. The mission of the agency is to strengthen the lives of individuals and families in our community through education, counseling and support services. The Family Works program allows mothers to keep their children with them as they go through an intensive residential program lasting 4-6 months. It is a unique arrangement that keeps families intact while giving mothers the intensive, professional support they need to get clean and stay sober. The program preserves and strengthens the mother-child attachment that is so critical to the child’s safety, health and lifelong well-being. Priority is given to pregnant women and women with children under three years of age. Facilities in Omaha and in Council Bluffs provide housing, treatment, therapy and support to help mothers make long-term changes and ensure that babies are born drug-free.
