Outpatient and Day
Treatment Services
Services are available at the
First Step facility between the hours of 8 AM and 5 PM. Women participate in
group and individual alcohol and drug treatment services while their
children attend the specialized Child Care Center. The year long program is
designed in a three phase model. Advancement in the program is contingent
upon meeting specific treatment goals, completion of assignments and
maintaining abstinence at each phase. |

treatment for 13 women and their dependent preschool children ages 0-5. Each
woman has an individual room where they can stay with two children for up to
one year. Women participate in daily groups, parent education, life skills
