Residential Care That Keeps Mothers and Children Together

This women-only residential program serves adults with substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions in a structured therapeutic community. The program allows mothers to live with an infant or young child during treatment. That family-centered model helps remove a major barrier to residential care and sets this program, keeping families together through treatment.

Priority Access for Pregnant Women and Women With Complex Needs

The program prioritizes pregnant women and individuals who use injectable drugs, reflecting a strong focus on women with urgent medical, emotional, and social needs. Services also support women navigating trauma, intimate partner violence, co-occurring mental health conditions, and other challenges that can complicate recovery. As part of a private nonprofit organization rooted in Central Florida, the program emphasizes access to care for women who need coordinated support, not just a place to stay.

Evidence-Based Treatment Across Residential and Outpatient Care

Treatment includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, trauma-related counseling, relapse prevention, substance use counseling, and 12-step facilitation. Clients also have access to medications for addiction treatment as part of care for substance use disorders. Within the larger STEPS continuum, women can move between residential treatment, day treatment, intensive outpatient, and outpatient services, creating a more connected path from intensive care to ongoing support.

Case Management That Supports Daily Stability

STEPS pairs clinical care with practical services that help women stabilize daily life during and after treatment. Case management links clients with housing resources, employment support, education, healthcare, and social services. The program also offers peer support, recovery coaching, discharge planning, transportation assistance, and continuing care. For women trying to rebuild stability while managing parenting responsibilities, recovery needs, and life outside treatment, that broader support can be a meaningful reason to choose this program.
