For women facing substance use disorder in pregnancy, we offer a compassionate sanctuary where your well-being takes center stage.

We offer a holistic community where staff and mothers work together to create a nurturing, recovery-focused environment. You won't have to worry about shelter, food, prenatal, post-natal, medical and child care, or job training. Instead, you can focus solely on your baby's health and your recovery journey within a safe and supportive community environment.
