Nexus Recovery Center Overvew

Nexus Recovery Center is a rehabilitation center for female adolescent (between the ages of 13-17) and adult addicts and began in 1971, originally named High Hopes Rehabilitation Center. Therapy and life training skills were added to the center’s program in 1974 and 16 years later, the center relocated to a campus on La Prada Drive to provide women with more services. Nexus started a program for teenage girls in 1991 and expanded the adult women program for more accommodation. The center boasts of its non-profit status, its mission is to guide women to sobriety, dignity, and independence. The center believes that women struggling with substance abuse and other forms of illness should have access to treatment irrespective of their financial conditions. Nexus allows women to seek treatment in the company of their children and also has a residential program for pregnant women and women with children called Pregnant and Parenting Women with Children (PPWC). The program allows mothers over 18 years of age to bring from 1-3 children with them into treatment. In addition to this, the center also offers detoxification programs for alcohol and sedatives, an outpatient program, and an aftercare program. The facility usually designs an individualized treatment plan for its clients with the help of a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC) and also combines traditional modes of treatment (12-step, Group therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, etc.) with holistic forms of treatment.
