Women’s Residential Care With Step-Down Support

A women-only residential program in Charleston, Mattie V. Lee Home combines addiction treatment with transitional living for women who need a stable place to start recovery and continue building independence. Operated by Prestera Health Services, this nonprofit program serves adult women, including women with children, and offers a more focused setting than a general residential program. That structure can be especially useful for women balancing recovery with parenting, housing, and other daily responsibilities.

Services That Help Mothers Stay Engaged in Treatment

The program offers parenting support, family therapy, children’s treatment and prevention services, referrals for licensed childcare, and residential beds for clients’ children. These services help women stay in treatment while continuing to care for family responsibilities. Instead of separating recovery from family life, the program addresses both at once, which can make treatment feel more practical and more sustainable for mothers working to rebuild stability at home.

Trauma-Informed Therapy and Co-Occurring Mental Health Care

Treatment includes individual, group, and family counseling, along with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention counseling, trauma-related counseling, and 12-step facilitation. The program also provides medications for addiction treatment (MAT) for opioid and alcohol use disorders, as well as mental health services for women with co-occurring conditions. Drug and alcohol testing, comprehensive assessments, and case management add structure to care. This combination of therapy, medication support, and mental health services gives women a place to address substance use and related emotional challenges in one setting.

Practical Help for Life After Residential Treatment

Mattie V. Lee Home extends beyond residential care with transitional living and services that support daily life after treatment. Women can get help with case management, discharge planning, aftercare, recovery coaching, peer support, housing services, transportation assistance, educational support, and vocational goals. The program also provides overdose education and follow-up after discharge.
