Women’s Recovery Services (WRS) is a beacon of hope, offering a state-licensed alcohol and drug treatment program for women who are pregnant, parenting, and seeking to heal their families. Since 1975, our integrated approach has helped hundreds of mothers and children break the cycle of addiction and foster care. Women enter the WRS program to address addiction issues, and their children participate in a program tailored just for them.
We are entering the holiday season. In these uncertain times, it is hard to imagine how to approach the season without acknowledging the issues that impact our nation, our community and our loved ones.
On Sept. 18, 18 women went on a walk. It was early in the afternoon before it had a chance to get hot. They were asked to bring their journals, and a water bottle. The women were instructed to envision the road ahead as their path to recovery and how it mirrored what they may be struggling with in their lives.
