Heartland Family Service

Family-Centered Residential Care

The treatment setting is designed specifically for mothers and their children. Women live with their children in fully furnished apartments within a supportive community, allowing them to actively parent while focusing on recovery. Daily routines combine therapy, parenting support, and life skills training, helping mothers strengthen both their sobriety and family stability. Intensive services at the beginning ensure safety and accountability, while continued care gradually shifts to greater independence. This approach addresses the unique challenges of parenting during recovery and prepares families to transition successfully into safe, stable housing after treatment.

Multiple Levels of Treatment

A full continuum of services is offered to meet clients where they are in recovery. Residential care provides 24-hour support in a safe, structured environment, including options for long-term stays when needed. Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) offer 9–15 hours of weekly therapy, blending individual, group, and family counseling while clients live at home or in transitional housing. Standard outpatient care provides flexible scheduling for ongoing support, relapse prevention, and counseling. For those transitioning out of residential programs, sober living and community-based housing create a bridge to independent living, while telehealth sessions ensure continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible.

Counseling and Medications for Addiction Treatment

The center works to combine counseling, peer support, and evidence-based medications to address both substance use and mental health needs. Treatment may include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, and 12-step facilitation, alongside trauma-focused counseling. Clients with opioid use disorder can receive buprenorphine or naltrexone to reduce cravings and withdrawal, while medications like disulfiram or acamprosate support recovery from alcohol use. The program also provides care for co-occurring conditions, with psychiatric medications when appropriate.

Practical Support Services

Care is designed to reduce the everyday obstacles that often keep people from staying in treatment. Mothers have access to on-site child care and residential beds so children can remain with them, easing worries about separation. Transportation assistance helps clients attend therapy, medical appointments, or court obligations. Case managers connect families with housing, food assistance, and other community resources. Vocational training and employment counseling prepare clients for stable work, while recovery coaches and peer mentors provide guidance.
