Treatment Programs That Keep Mothers & Their Children Together
Our primary aim is to empower women to become independent through our extensive substance use recovery treatment programs. Our Family Focused Recovery model keeps mothers and their children together during the recovery process, strengthening family bonds and ensuring a supportive environment.
Our stigma-free programs help women learn to manage their addictions and mental health issues with effective coping strategies. The compassionate team at VOA Southeast is dedicated to creating a supportive atmosphere, helping each individual on their path to a healthier and more fulfilling life.
We enhance personal and family stability through:
- Job readiness training
- Parenting education
Accredited Substance Use Recovery Services in Georgia
The Millennium Center and Pines Family Campus are CARF-accredited centers, signifying that they meet rigorous standards for quality in substance use disorder treatment for pregnant and postpartum women. This accreditation ensures that our facilities adhere to the highest standards of care and service in the field. We accept clients from all over the state.
Why Stigma-Free Treatment Programs Matter
*Statistics from the National Coalition Against Prescription Drug Abuse
• Over the last ten years, opioid use among pregnant women has quadrupled, resulting in shockingly-high rates of neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS)
• Substance use during pregnancy can lead to early (preterm) birth, low birth weight, and even serious health problems.
• Many mothers don’t seek treatment for substance use disorder due to fears of discrimination, shame, and the threat of losing custody of their children.
• Nearly half of all children in foster care are placed there because their parents have untreated substance use disorders.
Substance Use Recovery that Focuses on the Family
We know how important it is to keep families intact. The Pines Family Campus and The Millennium Center provide a safe, supportive environment for pregnant and parenting women who are seeking freedom from addiction. These unique programs allow mothers to bring their children with them as they work toward recovery.
Using VOA Southeast’s Family Focused Recovery model, we offer trauma-informed care that helps break the cycle of addiction, supports women’s healing, and promotes the birth of healthy babies. Our holistic program helps women recover, rebuild family bonds, and stay connected with their children throughout their journey to recovery.
A Recovery Program That Works
Substance use treatment has a measurable, positive impact not only on individual families but on communities.
- Fewer children entering the foster care system
- Higher employment rates among mothers in recovery
- Fewer newborns diagnosed with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) and requiring NICU care
- Lower incidence of maternal overdoses
- Increased prevention of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections
- Decreased incarceration rates
