Substance Abuse Recovery

McAlister Institute offers 26 programs that represent a complete continuum of care for the prevention and treatment of alcoholism and drug addiction.  From pregnant women and teens to ex-offenders, homeless men, monolingual Spanish speakers, and co-occurring individuals, each program is built on 40 years of experience in alcohol and other drug services and has been tailored to meet the needs of individuals, families, and communities that have been affected by substance abuse.

Our specialized treatment approach works with each woman holistically to address her health, emotional, educational, vocational, family, and legal concerns alongside her substance use, mental health, and behavioral issues. Women who participate in NCSH programs are able to reunite with their children, including in-program residency with some children, which creates valuable opportunities for parenting education, family activities, therapy, and healthy bonding and growth within families.

Treatment and recovery services include:

  • Individual & group counseling

  • Case management

  • Drug testing (if mandated)

  • Drug & alcohol education
