Haven4Change

Our Mission

Haven4Change’s mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment where women and their children can heal, rebuild, and thrive. We are committed to offering compassionate, holistic addiction recovery services that honor each woman’s dignity, strength, and potential.

We believe recovery is most transformative when families remain together. By supporting women as they overcome substance use challenges while providing a stable, child-friendly environment, we strive to break cycles of addiction, strengthen family bonds, and foster lasting wellness.

About Haven4Change

Haven4Change is a state-licensed, family-centered transitional living program for women recovering from substance use disorders and their children ages 12 and under.

Our 6–12 month program provides a safe, structured, and supportive environment where mothers can focus on recovery while remaining with their children. Through evidence-based treatment, peer support, life skills development, and parenting education, women gain the tools necessary to achieve lasting recovery and build healthy, independent lives.
