Kelly House is a therapeutic home for women with substance use disorders who are pregnant or have infants up to six months old (in their custody or can be granted custody while in the program). It is a safe, structured, home-like environment where the journey to recovery begins.

Kelly House residents participate in treatment specifically designed to meet the unique needs and issues of a mother or expectant mother in recovery.

Individualized treatment at Kelly House includes:

  • Individual and group counseling (utilizing our Evidenced-Based Practice models)
  • Substance use education
  • Participation in 12-Step Recovery Programs
  • Parenting skills
  • Other approaches as determined by individual need
     

Case Management Services are available to each woman to assist her in maximizing self-sufficiency. Clinical staff will assist in linking with community resources and prenatal medical care, well-baby check-ups and any other medical care required.

Kelly House is named in honor of Mary Kelly, a substance abuse professional who has dedicated her life’s work to advocating for people seeking to recover from substance abuse – especially women. Mary is now retired but still remains proactive on behalf of the recovering community.
