Focus

This center primarily treats substance use disorders, helping you stabilize, create relapse-prevention plans, and connect to compassionate support.

Saint John's Program for Real Change empowers homeless women and their children to overcome drug addiction, trauma, and mental health concerns. Its 18-month residential program offers shelter, food, counseling, and education to help families regain stability. The center's holistic approach uses individual, group, and family counseling to help women heal from deep-rooted trauma and substance use. Focusing on mental wellness, these therapies build coping skills and emotional strength, empowering mothers with tools for self-sufficiency and effective parenting. Education and employability programs for mothers provide essential support to help them secure jobs. With 24/7 staff and security, the mother and child friendly campus provides a safe, structured, and sober environment. On-site amenities include private and shared rooms, dining halls, a computer lab, children's play areas, and a fitness room. On-site childcare and well-child services allow mothers to focus fully on their treatment, and the program also offers transitional housing for women progressing toward independent living.
