Great Lakes Recovery Women’s New Hope House is a residential facility offering evidence-based, gender-specific care with clinically managed withdrawal management and relapse prevention services since 1988. Women struggling with addiction are able to bring their children, ages 11 and under, into the Great Lakes Recovery Center to stay with them during treatment. An initial screening process determines the appropriate level for care, and upon admission clients will assist therapists in developing a personalized and holistic treatment plan, identifying and addressing any significant life challenges relating to the addiction.
Through the women and families program, clients are able to bring their children, up to age 11, into treatment with them. Childcare for pre-school aged children is available on-site while patients are participating in daily treatment, while staff can assist with school district options and placement for school-aged children. To help support mothers in early recovery and their families, children ages 5-11 will be enrolled in weekly therapy sessions, while mothers will attend group or individual weekly parenting classes and sessions. All mothers are provided with a women and families program assessment, identifying individual needs for families and making the appropriate referrals.
Great Lakes Recovery offers a safe, encouraging, and supportive home-like environment for mothers and their children. Rooms have a cozy feeling and families are able to room together in spaciously furnished suites. Hallways and common areas are decorative and bright, and clients share meals, daily chores, group therapy, and recreational activities together. The local school district is very supportive of GLRC’s clients and children, and the facility is low security with 24/7 staff monitoring.
While enrolled in their residential treatment program, clients will participate in regularly scheduled groups designed to cover a broad range of recovery materials and methods, encouraging individuals to explore their own path of recovery. Clients are also assigned an individual counselor to meet with regularly and work toward identifying personal strengths, goals, support systems, and resources. A communal living environment creates patient interaction and develops social-skills and relationships with community meals and daily living activities.
Along with regular individual therapy, staff members are trained and certified to lead daily group therapy sessions that focus on putting effective life and recovery skills into place and specializing in the care of women. Group therapy sessions involve mindful cognitive behavioral therapy (MCTB), living in balance, seeking safety, women’s health, parenting, exercise, change planning, nutrition, and spirituality.
Great Lakes Recovery also provides transitional and aftercare planning, assisting clients with finding community resources and continuing care support.
