About Open Door Recovery Center Hills House
Our Mission at Hills House is to provide a safe, healthy, healing, loving environment for women who are committed to recovery from the disease of addiction and mental health disorders while pregnant and/or caring for their children age birth to ten years. At Open Door Recovery Center and Hills House one of our main goals is to treat the disease with the parents while keeping them unified and/or reunified with their young children. The Hills House residential approach is important for women because:
- If a parent suffers from the disease of addiction, their unborn babies, newborns and children are also victims.
- The disease often affects multiple generations leading to destructive cycles of behavior.
- Babies need loving attention from parents for them to feel safe and give them a sense of security and confidence.
We work to include the baby’s father into the process with the condition that he is willing to receive treatment, drug screen and comply with the requirements of the program. We provide education throughout the treatment process at ODRC/Hills House that creates awareness and capacity of clients to change and improve their self-care, care of their baby/children, their environment, community and future.
