Addiction to alcohol and other drugs is a potentially serious but treatable disease.

La Casa Ujima Residential Treatment Program offers specialized evidence based services to promote recovery from drug and alcohol addiction for pregnant, postpartum and parenting women with children. We respond to the unique needs of families devastated by addiction. The Program housed in Martinez, offers a warm family atmosphere where the recovering woman can begin to live in an alcohol and drug free environment.

Our community-based program helps women explore their alternatives in recovery, and take responsibility for their own lives. We also offer them the opportunity for personal recovery while continuing to care for their children.

Applicants meet with staff before being admitted. The admission of children is determined on an individual basis for each mother and for each child.

Upon admission an assessment is made of the individual needs of each participant. The maximum length of stay is 90 days. The maximum length of stay will vary with the individual as she progresses through the phases of recovery.
