Project Description: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||
This project seeks to continue a highly successful 26 bed pregnant, postpartum women and infants program currently in the base budget. The program provides safe and stable living arrangements, complemented by highly professional, comprehensive, individualized, on site services for substance abusing pregnant and postpartum women. The average length of stay is nine months, which gives women the opportunity to fully recover in a safe environment under the supervision of trained, professional staff who provide services and linkages including: counseling, vocational, GED, life skills, parenting and other critical training. The therapeutic regimen ensures that women can take responsibility for identifying and utilizing the services they need to reintegrate into the community, remain addiction free, and develop the skills necessary for independent, productive lives for themselves and their children. In addition, to ensure successful treatment for these women, the model incorporates on site childcare and living arrangements for children up through age four. This allows for a comprehensive service delivery design so the mother and the child can live healthy, productive lifestyles. |

Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
|
|
|
|
|
||||
The Center takes the need for outcomes and accountability very seriously in its programs. Some of the remarkable outcomes to date that we fully expect will continue include: the successful treatment of mothers (253 to date); 197 babies born drug-free and of normal birth weight; all mothers and babies receive prenatal and postnatal care; all mothers are reunited with their children and 98% have regained custody; 99% of the mothers were free of criminal activity while in or after completing the program; and 80% of the women are employed at discharge. |
