Women's Center of Excellence
An Expansion and Enhancement of the
Families in Recovery Program

There is a documented need to serve more pregnant and parenting women
battling the disease of addiction

The Facts:

• Connecticut Alcohol and Drug Policy Council reports that there are 25,000 pregnant and parenting women in the state who are in need of substance abuse treatment.

• Drug and alcohol addiction are a factor in the placement of more than three-quarters of children entering foster care.

• The lack of available and affordable childcare, housing and transportation are the three most significant barriers to treatment for women with children.

The Women's Center of Excellence is our vision to aid
mothers as they recover, rebuild and reclaim their lives.

Our Goals:

• Promote sobriety, wellness and self-sufficiency

• Ensure the healthy birth of newborns

• Strengthen, preserve and reunite families

• Break the cycle of generational addiction

Help us revamp and revitalize programs and services
that cater to the unique treatment needs of mothers.
