Walking Beside You on the Road to Recovery

At West River Mental Health, we know how difficult it can be to take the first step toward recovery. Our Full Circle residential program provides a safe, supportive environment where individuals facing addiction can focus fully on healing. With structured care, effective treatment, and compassionate support, we help people build the skills and strength needed to move forward in recovery.

Deciding to enter treatment is not easy, but entering treatment and having to leave your children is even more challenging. Research shows that a woman’s relationship with her child plays a crucial role in her substance abuse recovery, allowing her to learn the skills needed to balance parenting, work, and sobriety.

At Full Circle, children aged newborn through 10 years old may be eligible to reside with their mother during her stay. During this time, the women and their children will receive services that include but are not limited to:

  • A specialized curriculum that is effective in treating substance abuse disorders
  • Trauma-focused care
  • Parenting skills
  • Job skills and obtaining employment
  • Health and wellness skills
  • Access to prenatal, postpartum, and well-baby care
  • Support with reunification of children and family members
  • Connections to community services, including housing
