Women’s Specialty Services is a specialized support group for pregnant women and mothers at risk for substance use disorder. Pregnant and parenting women are a priority for treatment. Mothers who are involved with Children’s Protective Services, or whose children are in foster care or placement with relatives, are also eligible.
WSS programs are funded by state and federal funds. Pregnant and postpartum women are a priority for admission to treatment. Any pregnant or postpartum person as well as any primary caregivers of children are eligible for WSS programs. Any parent at-risk of losing custody of their child(ren) is also considered a priority population for substance use treatment admissions. Please contact this provider if you have any questions.

Long Term Recovery/Relapse Prevention provides continued support for clients who have completed treatment and/or groups and are committed to sustained sobriety.
