Addiction to alcohol and other drugs is a potentially serious but treatable disease.
Ujima West Outpatient Treatment Program offers evidence based specialized services to promote recovery from drug and alcohol abuse for pregnant, postpartum and parenting women with children and men. We respond to the unique needs of families devastated by addiction.
The Program located in Richmond serves women from Contra Costa County. In this setting, we offer a warm family atmosphere where the recovering woman and man can begin to learn how to live in and 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, each father, and for each child.
Upon admission an assessment is made of the individual needs of each participant. The maximum length of stay is 180 days. The maximum length of stay will vary with the individual as she progresses through the phases of recovery.
